Impressionism originated in the late 19th century, with its roots generally traced to the 1860s in France. The movement gained prominence during the 1870s and 1880s, challenging traditional artistic conventions by focusing on light, color, and everyday scenes. The name "Impressionism" itself comes from Claude Monet's painting "Impression, Sunrise," exhibited in 1874.
