Irish Impressionists
The term "Irish Impressionists" refers to a group of artists in Ireland during the late 19th and early 20th centuries who were influenced by the Impressionist movement. They focused on capturing the effects of light and color in their landscapes and everyday scenes, often painting en plein air, or outdoors. Notable figures include Paul Henry and Jack B. Yeats, who brought a unique Irish perspective to the style.
These artists sought to depict the beauty of the Irish countryside and urban life, using loose brushwork and vibrant colors. Their work contributed to the broader Impressionist movement while also establishing a distinct Irish identity in art.
