Impressionism is the most important thing to happen in European art since the Renaissance, whose visual methods it replaced. Almost all later developments in painting and sculpture stemmed from it, and its basic principles are reflected in many other art forms. For a perceptual approach, based on ideas about the nature of what we see, it substituted a perceptual one based on actual visual experience. For an allegedly stable reality, it substituted a transient reality. Rejecting the idea that a canon of expression exists to indicate expressions, feelings and arrangements of objects, it gave primacy to the subjective approach of the artist, emphasizing spontaneity and immediacy of vision and reaction. Formulating a theory of 'realism' that applied as much to subject matter as to technique, it eschewed the anecdotal, historical, romanticism, focusing instead on the life and events of its era. Avoiding the studio, the Impressionists placed great emphasis on painting in the open air, in emotional contact with the subject that was engaging their attention. When painting in this way – and even in the studio, when there was a need to capture the impression of the subject he was painting – he developed a technique that was partly derived from that haste which he had demanded., partly determined by the need to achieve perceptual reality. He eliminated the black shadows and outlines that do not exist in nature; The shadow was painted the complementary color of the object. He used an iridescent palette and experimented with different techniques of broken colour. Impressionism was one of the first art movements to be associated with a mercantile-conscious group; Its practitioners organized many exhibitions and worked intermittently in unity. But in reality they were very different in their personalities and in their art; It is dangerous to dramatize their achievements by seeing them as idealistic revolutionaries reacting against an artistic establishment. He sometimes felt that this was not integral to his achievement, and had nothing to do with his status as the first modern artist. In this paper discus all the factor.
