Impressionism!

Claude Monet, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), 1872, oil on canvas

Impressionism is a 19th Century art movement that comes from France, first in painting later in music. Impressionist paintings consists of the work that being produced between about 1867 and 1886 by a group of artists who shared a set of related approaches and techniques.
Impressionist paintings could be recognized by the way the paintings were made with a lot of details and realism, such as the lights and reflections that's being depicted in the painting. They used short "broken" brush strokes of mixed and pure unmixed colour, not smoothly blended or shaded, as was customary, in order to achieve the effect of intense colour vibration.
Claudio Monet's painting, Impression, Sunrise, is where the term "Impressionism" is derived from. Claudio Monet along with Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frédéric Bazille, who had studied under Charles Gleyre are among the group that started the Impressionism in France.
I personally like this style of painting, I like how the paintings can depict the colours so realistically, and how they can give some kind of feeling to the audience, just by looking at it. it's like the painting were alive and could move by itself.
