The principal Impressionist painters were Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot, Armand Guillaumin, and Frédéric Bazille, who worked together, influenced each other, and exhibited together independently. Edgar Degas and Paul Cézanne also painted in an Impressionist style for a time in the early 1870s. The established painter Édouard Manet whose work in the 1860s greatly influenced Monet and others of the group, himself adopted the Impressionist approach about 1873.
Perhaps the most well known of these was Monet, and the link here is to one of his less well known works.
Monet - Soleil levant
Better known - water lilies

I really like Monet. Couldn't even tell you why. He just appeals to me. I prefer the Soleil levant more than the water lillies.
Love & stuff

how I love this man's work... so soothing, so real, so full of the life around him... if ever an artist captured a moment in time with perfection, surely it is Monet...
...A huge fan...
