A 19th-century art movement that began in France in the 1870s characterized by a sketchy and impressionistic use of unmixed primary colors and small strokes to simulate actual reflected light. The name of the movement is thought to be derived from the title of a Claude Monet painting, Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant). Among the artists working in this style were: Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, Pierre August Renoir, Alfred Sisley, Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne.
