    The document provides information about Impressionism, including its definition, origins, and key characteristics. It defines Impressionism as a 19th century art movement characterized by thin, visible brushstrokes combining to form a scene and emphasize movement and light qualities. It began when the term "Impressionist" was used as an insult to describe Monet's painting Impression – Sunrise. Young artists differed from the French Academy in their realistic views and style, exhibiting works outside the Academy's venues and exposing new techniques. Characteristics of Impressionist works include loose, dappled brushstrokes applied wet-on-wet directly onto the canvas to capture fleeting light and natural scenes painted outdoors, or en plein air
