Impressionism is my favorite art genre.

I particularly love the emphasis on light, the way color is used and the fact that it depicts life life more realistically than the Realism genre is supposed to do. In Realism figures often seem frozen in stiffness where Impressionism seems never to do that. A pose is a pose. Motion is motion.

Not a Botticelli fan, but his artistic skill is obvious.

Impressionism...
