Paris was the center of the Impressionist art movement in the mid 19th century. Artists like Monet, Manet, Renoir, Caillebotte , van Gogh, Sisley, Pissaro and others rejected the traditional and conventional academic style of painting favored by the art world of the era instead they preferred a looser , brighter, more realistic and freer way to represent the world they perceived and lived in and lived in. They took their easel and sketch books and went out to depict city streets, café life, everyday people, bourgeois interiors, seashore and countryside. While rejected by the Academic institutions of the time for being considered as degenerate art, these artists eventually became popular and today their paintings are greatly admired in museums and exhibitions around the world.
