2 IMPRESSIONISM. Impressionism was born in Paris (France) in 19th century and in 1874 the Impressionists held their first show. The Impressionists painted not a landscape but the immediate impression of a landscape. They didn t exactly paint. The word Impressionism comes from Monet's painting, Impression sunrise (1872).

3 IMPRESSIONIST PAINTERS The most important impressionist painters who worked together were: Monet, Sisley, and Renoir. They influenced each other, and reproduced immediate visual impressions as registered on the retina. They didn t reproduce traditional landscapes. They abandoned the use of blacks and greys in shadows and used complementary colours.
