Exploring Impressionism: A Revolutionary Art Movement in Late 19th Century France**

Impressionism emerged between 1875 and 1900 in France as a groundbreaking art movement that defied traditional techniques championed by the Art Academy and Salon. This period saw notable inventors like Henry Ford and Alexander Graham Bell making strides in technology. Impressionist artists, including Monet, Renoir, and Cassatt, painted with visible brush strokes, capturing the essence of sunlight and leisure activities of the upper middle class. Their outdoor work marked a significant shift in the art world, emphasizing personal perception over realistic representation.
