‘In the early 1880s[ce]* Impressionism had reached a crisis. There were three main reasons.

First, its very perfecting of naturalistic illusionism could not be maintained for ever. It was subject to internal dissolution and decline as a style; while dissension among the artists themselves was growing.

Secondly, it was subject to external pressures: younger artists in particular would critically examine its achievement.

Thirdly — a phenomenon that often troubles artists in their forties & fifties** — a period of self-doubt set in, a sense of lost exuberance & dissipated experimental fervour.

There is much discussion* of who and when exactly the Post-Impressionists were: some have included the later work of Cézanne, Renoir; Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901); and others.
