The difference between classical painting and impressionist painting

1, different aesthetic concepts. Impressionism emphasizes realism, while classicism pursues the rigor of works.

Impressionism is opposite to western classical traditional painting in artistic spirit, emphasizing the creation of artistic forms in the new era. Impressionism is an important stage in the transition of European art from realism to modernism in the middle of19th century. Impressionist painters entered the French painting world with an innovative attitude, pointing to Chen Xiangyin's classical painting school and artificial romanticism.

Classical painting, on the other hand, expresses realistic moral concepts with ancient artistic ideals and norms, and expresses contemporary ideological themes with typical historical events. Classical painting takes this spirit as its connotation, advocates elegant and lofty themes, solemn and simple forms, emphasizes rationality but despises emotion, emphasizes sketch and rigorous appearance, belittles the expression of color and brushwork, pursues the balance and integrity of composition, and strives to make the works produce an ancient tranquility and severe beauty.

2. Different painting skills.

Impressionist painting pays more attention to the integration of light, color, shape, meaning and beauty in painting, which embodies the main characteristics of the combination of impressionist art and optics. Impressionist painting is often more casual in composition, striving to highlight the contingency of the picture, increase the vividness of the picture and the atmosphere of life, and highlight the expression of subjective images inside.

Classical painting emphasizes accurate sketching techniques and soft light and shade tones, and makes image modeling present a sculpture-like conciseness and generalization, and pursues grand composition method, solemn style and charm. Appreciate the beauty of ancient rhyme brought by art.
