Impressionism developed in late-nineteenth-century France and focused on spontaneously painting outdoors rather than in a studio. The Impressionists were not aiming to create an exact depiction of reality; rather, they concentrated on capturing the atmosphere they felt in front of their subjects. The following characteristics can be classified as typical Impressionist features:
1. Outdoor Painting
The Impressionists mainly painted outdoors rather than in a studio as they found they could best capture the moment by working directly in front of their subjects.
2. Ordinary Subjects
They primarily depicted subjects and scenes from everyday life.
3. Landscapes
They painted landscape sceneries on a large scale.
4. Lively Scenes
They frequently tried to capture the movement in lively scenes.
5. Vibrant Colors
They applied bright, pure, and vibrant colors.
