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.

Jean Frédéric Bazille (December 6, 1841 – November 28, 1870) was a French Impressionist painter. Many of Bazille's major works are examples of figure painting in which he placed the subject figure within a landscape painted en plein air. Wikipedia
