Impressionist Paintings

IMPRESSIONIST STYLE

Emerging in 19th-century France, Impressionist art embraced loose brushwork and plein-air painting to respond to the movement of daily life. Although the pioneers of the Impressionist movement — Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir — are now household names, their work was a radical break with an art scene led and shaped by academic traditions for around two centuries. These academies had oversight of a curriculum that emphasized formal drawing, painting and sculpting techniques and historical themes.

The French Impressionists were influenced by a group of artists known as the Barbizon School, who painted what they witnessed in nature. The rejection of pieces by these artists and the later Impressionists from the salons culminated in a watershed 1874 exhibition in Paris that was staged outside of the juried systems. After a work of Monet’s was derided by a critic as an unfinished “impression,” the term was taken as a celebration of their shared interest in capturing fleeting moments as subject matter, whether the shifting weather on rural landscapes or the frenzy of an urban crowd. Rather than the exacting realism of the academic tradition, Impressionist paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings represented how an artist saw a world in motion.

Many Impressionist painters were inspired by the perspectives in imported Japanese prints alongside these shifts in European painting — Édouard Manet drew on ukiyo-e woodblock prints and depicted Japanese design in his Portrait of Émile Zola, for example. American artists such as Mary Cassatt and William Merritt Chase, who studied abroad, were impacted by the work of the French artists, and by the late 19th century American Impressionism had its own distinct aesthetics with painters responding to the rapid modernization of cities through quickly created works that were vivid with color and light.

Stucco House Blossoms - original cityscape contemporary oil painting
Located in London, Chelsea
“Stucco House Blossoms” by Juan Del Pozo is a charming portrayal of a quintessential Chelsea street, where classic white stucco homes line the right side of the painting. The scene captures a moment of serene beauty and everyday life, with an individual approaching the first doorway, adding a touch of human presence and narrative to the composition. The pavement, acting as leading lines, guides the viewer’s eye through the scene, past the cherry blossom trees dotting the left side of the street. A red bicycle leans against the first tree, while the framed sunlight filters through the blossoms, casting a warm, golden light on the homes and pavement. The central figure, a woman walking her dog, adds a lively touch to the tranquil street scene. The road is adorned with classic London vehicles, including taxis and a red bus in the background, reinforcing the painting’s authentic urban setting. Del Pozo’s masterful use of light and shadow brings the scene to life, imbuing it with a sense of warmth and familiarity. Each brushstroke conveys the texture and character of Chelsea, a locality renowned for its elegant architecture and vibrant atmosphere. The cherry blossoms, with their delicate pink hues, symbolize the fleeting beauty of nature amidst the enduring charm of the urban landscape. At the heart of “Stucco House Blossoms” lies a concept of harmonious coexistence between nature and city life. The cherry blossoms and the warm sunlight create a serene and inviting ambiance, while the presence of the woman and her dog, along with the iconic London vehicles, highlights the dynamic and diverse nature of Chelsea. This painting captures a moment of tranquility and beauty, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of this prestigious London neighborhood. “Stucco House Blossoms” is not only visually captivating but also emotionally resonant, evoking feelings of nostalgia and contentment in those who behold it. Its warm and inviting palette makes it the perfect centerpiece to brighten any space and infuse it with a sense of calm and elegance. Available for acquisition at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online, “Stucco House Blossoms” by Juan Del Pozo offers an opportunity to bring the essence of Chelsea’s charm...
