Impressionism is an artistic movement of the 19th century. In the late 19th century, Impressionism was transformed into Post-Impressionism by the French artist Paul Cézanne. He is known as one of the contributors to the transition to the Post-Impressionism movement. The post-impressionist era caused the violation of certain criteria but retained the techniques of the impressionist era. Paul Cézanne developed many techniques that became important within the movement and ultimately brought him success as an artist. He introduced a diverse technique in his early works and placed emphasis on symbols that represent the landscape. Numerous representations of the “Mont Sainte-Victoria” landscape have been produced and contribute greatly to its success. The interpretations of Mont Sainte-Victoria are the springboard in evolutionary change during the Post-Impressionist movement. The post-Impressionist works of Paul Cézanne were so influential that they were able to give rise to new artistic explorations such as Cubism. During the Post-Impressionist movement, artworks were restored to resemble post-Impressionist art. Impressionism is an artistic movement of the 19th century and originated from a group of French artists. Impressionism had specific criteria in the way works of art were made: relatively small and fine, visible brushstrokes, a refined structure, light in its changing qualities depending on the time of day and the location, and visual angles. The Impressionists illustrated their works using freely brushed colors that emphasized the importance of having symmetrical lines and contours; rather than painting still lifes, portraits and landscapes indoors, they preferred to paint outdoors to give the work the realistic image of time and place and to capture...... middle of paper ......hniques in the landscape which illustrates a natural image, but nature itself gives the aesthetics of the landscape.
