Research point - Impressionist landscape painters

This research point asks to look at the work of painters linked to the impressionist movement, or this implied by the names listed: Monet,  Pissarro and  Cezanne. If names hadn't been given I am sure I would have immediately thought of Monet  (Rouen Cathedral, Haystacks and roads lined with poplars) as an artist who worked on a series from single landscape/subject.

In-line with the principles of the impressionist movement  (disregard for the academic standards of the time... subject matter and the finesse of the completed work) Monet looked to capture the "moment" light, colour and movement. The "moment" can change based on both the lighting and weather conditions and this is best demonstrated by doing a series of the same landscape/subject.

Advances in the way oil paint could be stored (tin tubes) and transport (train networks) meant that painting en plain air had become more practical. But the challenge of completing the work before the lighting and or weather conditions dramatically changed still remained, the artist had to work quickly giving the work spontaneity an impression of the moment.
