‘It is impossible to find a single definition to cover the range of painters often described as “Impressionist” but the quintessential Impressionist landscape (for example, Monet's “Sailing at Argenteuil”, 1874[ce]; private collection) has certain recognizable characteristics: it is comparatively small in scale and informal in composition, and was normally largely executed out of doors; its colors are generally bright & contrasting, its brushwork free & intuitive.* It is from discussion of these factors, and from a consideration of Impressionism in its historical context, and against its intellectual and social background, that we can define the true nature & extent of the movement.
