Guided Tour Fresh Air
Like a breath of fresh air – that is how artists experienced the new stylistic direction of Impressionism, which emerged from France in the 1860s. Fleeting atmospheres of light, new leisure activities or impressions from travels were captured with rapid brushstrokes painted directly on the canvas in radiant colours in the open air. These principles quickly spread and also led to a profound transformation of painting in northern Europe.
