Impressionism was one of the most important breakthroughs in the history
of painting. The young impressionists of the 1860s and ´70s in France not only
abandoned the conventional theories of academic painting, but opened the way to
the future. In 1874 a group of experimental and virtually unknown artists,
including Renoir, Monet, Pissarro, and Sisley, held a highly unsuccessful
exhibition of their revolutionary works in Paris, defying the hidebound
traditionalism of the official salon.
