When considering Impressionism, we associate it with the atmospheric landscapes, lively portraits and city scenes of Monet, Renoir, Degas and Cézanne. Utilizing a sketchy painting style, which was accomplished in situ, these artists were able to capture the moment, with their colors corresponding to the prevailing light and weather conditions. This volume, featuring around 300 illustrations, gives an overall perspective of the painting of the Impressionists.

想到印象派时，我们会将它与莫奈、雷诺阿、德加和塞尚创作的具有艺术氛围的风景画，生动的肖像画和城市场景联系在一起。这些画家使用简略的绘画风格（在原地完成创作）就能够捕捉那个瞬间，他们所使用的的颜色与当下的光线和天气状况很相配。
