The term "Impressionism" is derived frae the teetle o his pentin Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), that wis exhibitit in 1874 in the first o the independent exhibeetions moontit bi Monet an his associates as an alternative tae the Salon de Paris.

Monet's ambeetion o documentin the French kintraside led him tae adopt a method o pentin the same scene mony times in order tae captur the chyngin o licht an the passin o the saisons.
