印象派产生于法兰西第二帝国——拿破仑三世时期。当时的资本主义国家正向东方扩张,日本版画、浮世绘。中国的丝织品等东方艺术和文化开始显露与西方人眼前。也正是由于在这样一特定的历史时期下产生了一批不同于古典主义、浪漫主义绘画风格的新画派——印象主义画派。他们的观点是走出画室,接触生活,真实的画出眼睛所能够看到的阳光下的风景和人们的日常生活,同时还完成了绘画中的色彩造型,将光与色的科学观念应用到他们的绘画之中。但是从严格意义上说来,他们依然沿袭具象写实传统。不同之处首先在于他们抛弃了古典、历史题材。把他们的视觉放在了当代的那些平凡而熟悉的事物上,并记录了事物的那种转瞬即逝的印象。其次在于他们绘画语言的技巧。印象主义绘画不仅仅对19世纪法国绘画影响巨大,同时他是现代主义绘画的起点,为现代艺术的产生奠定了基础。 Impressionism was born in the Second Empire of France - Napoleon III period. The capitalist countries of that time were expanding eastward, with Japanese prints and ukiyo-e. Oriental art and culture such as China’s silk fabrics are beginning to show up with Westerners. It is also precisely because of such a specific historical period has produced a number of different school of the classicism, romanticism style of the new school - Impressionism School. Their point of view is to get out of the studio, touch life, draw realistically the landscape under the sun and the everyday life of the people that the eye can see, and at the same time, complete the color modeling in the painting and apply the scientific concepts of light and color to them Among the paintings. However, strictly speaking, they still follow the concrete realistic tradition. The difference lies first in their rejection of classical and historical themes. Put their vision on the ordinary and familiar things of the present, and record the fleeting impression of things. Followed by their skills in drawing language. Impressionist painting not only had a great influence on 19th-century French painting, but at the same time he was the starting point of modernist painting and laid the foundation for the emergence of modern art.
