Impressionist Paintings

IMPRESSIONIST STYLE

Emerging in 19th-century France, Impressionist art embraced loose brushwork and plein-air painting to respond to the movement of daily life. Although the pioneers of the Impressionist movement — Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir — are now household names, their work was a radical break with an art scene led and shaped by academic traditions for around two centuries. These academies had oversight of a curriculum that emphasized formal drawing, painting and sculpting techniques and historical themes.

The French Impressionists were influenced by a group of artists known as the Barbizon School, who painted what they witnessed in nature. The rejection of pieces by these artists and the later Impressionists from the salons culminated in a watershed 1874 exhibition in Paris that was staged outside of the juried systems. After a work of Monet’s was derided by a critic as an unfinished “impression,” the term was taken as a celebration of their shared interest in capturing fleeting moments as subject matter, whether the shifting weather on rural landscapes or the frenzy of an urban crowd. Rather than the exacting realism of the academic tradition, Impressionist paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings represented how an artist saw a world in motion.

Many Impressionist painters were inspired by the perspectives in imported Japanese prints alongside these shifts in European painting — Édouard Manet drew on ukiyo-e woodblock prints and depicted Japanese design in his Portrait of Émile Zola, for example. American artists such as Mary Cassatt and William Merritt Chase, who studied abroad, were impacted by the work of the French artists, and by the late 19th century American Impressionism had its own distinct aesthetics with painters responding to the rapid modernization of cities through quickly created works that were vivid with color and light.

Vintage Oil Painting Clipper Ship American Flag Nautical Maritime Seascape
Located in Palm Coast, FL
This original vintage oil painting on canvas features a majestic three-masted clipper ship with full sails and an American flag, entering a fortified harbor. A smaller sailboat glides nearby toward a stone tower and castle-like structure, enhancing the coastal narrative of this nautical seascape. The sky is detailed with soft maritime light, and the ocean’s textured waves are rendered in striking blue and green tones. The painting is signed in the lower left corner, though the signature is illegible, and is likely the work of a mid-20th-century European or American maritime artist. It is mounted in a richly detailed gilded antique-style frame, adding elegance and presence to any room. This seascape is ideal for collectors of marine art, vintage coastal paintings...
