Impressionism began in France in the 1870s. The impressionists were a group of painters who wanted to create pictures that captured the light and mood of their surroundings. Renoir lived in France during this time, and is considered to be one of the most celebrated Impressionist masters. This book profiles major artists of the Impressionist era, which some say was the beginning of modern art, in the context of the political, economic, and other changes occurring throughout the world at the same time.
