Impressionism

By the late 19th century French art had made its way out of the studios and into the real life of nature. Artists like Claude Monet, Pierre-August Renoir, Édouard Manet and Camille Pissarro, just to mention a very few, caught the impressions of shadows and sunlight, fields and forests. Classic details of still life were replaced by instant movement, the darkness by brilliance of colour.

Impressionist art has an instant effect on the viewer, needing no time for the study of details or special agendas. They are, so to speak, neutral in their beauty. Apart from the obvious market of individual interior decorating, reproductions of impressionist art are therefore especially suited for institutions such as public offices, hotels, hospitals, retirement homes and the likes.
