Cityscape Painting in Impressionism

So, here is the final verdict on your preferences in art:

Style: impressionism

Genre: cityscape

No other style has made so much space for the city and has made the city so spaciously attractive. Along with genre painting, impressionist cityscapes managed to reveal the essential aesthetic principles of the stlyle. Impressionists were the ones who left the studios and walked out into the streets to paint city life.

The urban scenes of urban life captured in impressionist cityscapes are dynamic and free of any detail – like a fleeting impression you get during a walk. Full of light and air, they depict people and cars and carriages in motion, no symmetrical composition, no posing, no clear contours and thorough draughtsmanship. Instead, you get  light and sketchy patches and flecks of light on the hair, windowcases, glasses, wheels – anywhere, and they just scream of the motion and the speed and the excitement of the city. Nobody loved Paris the way the impressionists painted it! If you appreciate cityscapes by Antoine Blanchard, you really do love impressionism.

A person who chooses impressionist landscapes possesses the unique ability to make new friends and talk to any person easily, while keeping to himself and avoiding familiarity. He lives an exciting life, doesn’t like to waste time on boring things and people, has numerous goals and tasks and prefers to concentrate on his development and dreams rather than on financial success and routine. This person likes to be lost in the crowd, to sip coffee in a busy street and watch the flow of the big city. He doesn’t like to get involved and attached past a certain point, his personal freedom means too much for him. However, the most talented and unique people will finally stay around to provide him with new experiences and food for thought.
