3. A French 19th century art movement which marked a momentous break from tradition in European painting. The Impressionists incorporated new scientific research into the physics of color to achieve a more exact representation of color and tone.
4. The sudden change in the look of these paintings was brought about by a change in methodology: applying paint in small touches of pure color rather than broader strokes, and painting out of doors to catch a particular fleeting impression of color and light. The result was to emphasize the artist's perception of the subject matter as much as the subject itself.
