Impressionism:
Works of Monet, Renoir, and Manet
By the 1870s, the stage was set for the
emergence of the next major art movement in
Europe, impressionism. It started with a
group of French painters—that included
Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Auguste
Renoir—and eventually spread to other
countries, such as Italy, Germany, and The
Netherlands.
CLAUDE
MONET
Claude Monet (1840-1926) was one of the founders
of the impressionist movement along with his friends
Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley and Frederic Bazille.
He was the most prominent of the group and is
considered the most influential figure in the
movement
Monet is best known for his landscape paintings,
particularly those depicting his beloved flower
gardens and water lilies ponds at his home in
Giverny.
La Prominade is a French term
for “A Woman with a Parasol”.
This artwork was made by
Claude Monet with his wife and
son as the models. During those
times, women used parasol to
protect their skin from the
sunlight. Furthermore, Monet
loved to paint with the effects
given by lights. La Promenade

EDOUARD
MANET
Edouard Manet (1832-1883) was
one of the first 19th century artists
to depict modern-life subjects. He
was a key figure in the transition
from realism to impressionism, with
a number of his works considered
as marking the birth of modern art.

AUGUSTE
RENOIR
Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), along with Calude
Monet, was one of the central figures of the
impressionist movement. His early works were
snapshopts of rela life, full of sparkling color and
light.
By the mid-1880s, however, Renoir broke away
from the impressionist movement to apply a more
disclipned, formal technique to portraits of actual
people and figure paintings.

Post-Impressionism
After the brief yet highly influential period of
impressionism, an outgrowth movement known
as post-impressionism emerged.
The European artists who were at the forefront
of this movement continued using the basic
qualities of the impressionists before them—
the vivid colors, heavy brush strokes, and true-
to-life subjects.
IMPRESSIONISM POST- IMPRESSIONISM
1. Contrasting 1. Flat primary colors
colors 2. Thick, bold lines
2. Thin, visible 3. Realistic or
brushstrokes fictional subjects
3. Realistic, 4. Color blocking

However, they expanded and experimented
with these in bold new ways, like using a
geometric approach, fragmenting objects and
distorting people’s faces and body parts, and
applying colors that were not necessarily
realistic or natural.
Two of the foremost post-impressionists were
PaulCézanne and Vincent van Gogh.
PAUL
CEZANNE
Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was a French
artist and post-impressionist painter. His
work exemplified the transition from late
19th-century impressionism to a new and
radically different world of art in the 20th
century—paving the way for the next
revolutionary art movement known as
expressionism.

Striped Skirt –

VINCENT
VAN GOGH
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was a post-
impressionist painter from The Netherlands. His
works were remarkable for their strong, heavy
brush strokes, intense emotions, and colors that
appeared to almost pulsate with energy.
Van Gogh’s striking style was to have a far-
reaching influence on 20th century art, with his
works becoming among the most recognized in
the world.
The Sower – Van Gogh
showed his appreciation
through painting this

known to be obsessed

Artist under the impressionism art movement has
general appearances in their artworks but still vary
when it comes to their end-products.
With this, we could analyze that every person has his
own original works.
For the post-impressionism one may see that no
matter how hard they try to copy the works of others
to fit in the style, they came up with their own
artworks that had been the birth of a new art style.

This lesson will make us realize that in life,
we do task same with other people. What
makes it special is our abilities and
personalities to create various outcomes that
are different from one another.
There is no need to copy the works of other
people. Be yourself, do your thing and at the
end, let your light shine brighter than anyone
else.
