-Impressionism
-Frédéric Bazille was a French painter associated with the Impressionist movement. Despite his short life, Bazille made significant contributions to the development of Impressionism. He was known for his use of vibrant colors, loose brushwork, and plein air painting techniques. Bazille often depicted scenes of leisure, including outdoor gatherings, landscapes, and figures engaged in everyday activities. His works, characterized by their freshness and spontaneity, captured the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. Tragically, Bazille's promising career was cut short when he died in combat during the Franco-Prussian War at the age of 28. Despite his untimely death, his influence on Impressionism endured, and he is remembered as one of the movement's pioneering figures.
