Impressionism is a school of painting that began in Paris in 1863 when the works of Edouard
Manet, a French painter and a follower of Gustave Courbet, were not given a place at the Paris
exhibition at the Salon. Napoleon III, however, demanded that Manet and his innovative friends
have a place to exhibit their works, and they were given a special room which was called the “Salon
of Refused Works.” One outstanding picture in this Salon was a landscape by Claude Monet called
Impression: Sunset. The name was adopted for the new style, although Edouard Manet rejected this term.
