Impressionism emerged in late nineteenth-century France. It was born when artists began to paint an "impression" of what they saw rather than a faithful, realistic reproduction of the subject. An emphasis on vibrant colours, loose brushwork and a focus on light and atmosphere set it apart from what had come before. It is now one of the most popular art movements in the world, and famous works are viewed by admirers in huge numbers. Claude Monet's house in Giverny, France, is visited by half a million people every year.
