Impressionism was a revolutionary 19th-century art movement that broke away from traditional studio painting to capture the fleeting effects of light, color, and atmosphere. Artists like Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas painted everyday scenes with loose brushwork and bright, vibrant palettes. Instead of focusing on precise detail, they aimed to capture the feeling or “impression” of a moment in time. Initially criticized, Impressionism later became one of the most beloved and influential movements in Western art. 12 x 12" calendar includes major holidays, lunar phases, equinoxes and solstices.
