Impressionism is a unique and perhaps the most striking trend in painting, which allowed artists to show people the "beauty of the moment." Impressionism was born in France in the late 1860s. The Impressionists worked en plein air, and it was important for them to create the "effect of a vivid shimmer of colors." It will take decades for the brilliant works of Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Alfred Sisley, Camille Pissarro, Frederic Basil, Berthe Morisot and others to become perhaps the most expensive paintings in the world.
