Impressionism is an art style that tried to capture an impression of what the eye sees at a given moment and effect of sunlight on the subject. Paintings were made up of small dabs or spots of color, when viewed at a distance they blend together to create the desired effect of a complete picture. Famous artists during this time period were Monet, Renoir, and Degas. Monet's Rouen Cathedral showed his seperate brushstrokes that looked like an uneven mixture of colored dabs and dashes, but viewed from a distance they looked blended together. LeMoulin da la Galette by Renoir showed his applied dashed that seemed to blend together. Hard precise outlines were replaced by blurred edges during this period.
