印象派

印象派嘅畫作有以下嘅特徵：

• 用幼細、但明顯睇得到嘅筆觸；
• 構圖開放，放寬咗「主題」同「背景」之間嘅界線；
• 平凡嘅題材，興畫日常生活嘅景象，相對於傳統歐洲畫藝偏好以歷史大事或者聖經故仔等「宏大」嘅嘢做題材；
• 異常嘅視角；
• 以物件嘅郁動作為人類感知嘅重要部份，好多時會用濛濛地嘅圖像代表物件嘅郁動－畫家嘗試捕捉望到物件嗰一剎那所見到嘅影像（「印象」）；
• 強調準確噉描繪光嘅變化－印象派畫家受到當時物理學上光學知識嘅演進影響，反對當時歐洲畫家淨係喺室內畫畫嘅傳統，會走去室外畫畫，嘗試了解喺自然光下嘅物件嘅色水應該係點嘅。

以法國畫家莫奈喺 1874 年畫嘅油畫《日出印象》（法文：Impression, soleil levant）為例，日出印象廣泛噉俾人認同係印象派嘅代表作，呢幅畫題材好平凡，描繪一個日出景象，畫一個室外見到嘅景，而且畫中物件好濛，強調咗啲物件嘅郁動同光暗。

印象派喺歷史上幾經轉折：初頭（當時嚟講好反傳統嘅）印象派廣受法國藝術界批評，例如因為印象派畫家興畫一啲平凡、日常生活當中嘅嘢，搞到當時嘅（偏好宏大題材嘅）法國畫界覺得佢哋難登大雅之堂；不過，打後喺一眾印象派畫家嘅努力下，印象派出咗好多重要嘅技法同名作，最後得到成個歐洲藝術界承認佢哋係一個有睇頭嘅藝術流派。而到咗廿一世紀，印象派經已成為西方藝術界嘅一個重要流派，仲影響咗世界多地嘅畫畫藝術，好似係粵港澳地區嘅嶺南畫派噉，就係結咗國畫同印象派思潮而生嘅一個畫派。
