The Impressionist school arose in mid19th-century Paris, especially after the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71), amid that city's rising urban culture. Representative artists include Monet, Renoir, Degas, Manet, Pissaro, Morisot, Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Toulouse-Lautrec. They painted mainly scenes from life or landscapes.
