Why was impressionism considered revolutionary?

0

Impressionism was considered revolutionary because the European Academies of the mid to late 19th century were still training artists in the Academic style which depicted landscapes and people in a realist style. The French Impressionists chose a more relaxed style with thicker paint (impasto) and a brighter pallet. The result was more distinct and artistic as opposed to the mundane repetitious images being pumped out by Academic artists.
