Impressionism

What to look for

Impressionism: Realism, just before, paints on dark grounds with solid forms; Post-Impressionism, just after, keeps the bright colour but adds firm outlines, built structure or symbolic colour.

Peder Severin Krøyer (23 July 1851 – 21 November 1909), also known as P. S. Krøyer, was a Norwegian-Danish painter who was a member of the Skagen Painters. Born in Norway, he grew up in Copenhagen under the care of his aunt and his uncle, zoologist Henrik Nikolai Krøyer. Wikipedia
