Theory of Impressionism
In nature, no colour exists by itself.
The colouring of the objects is a pure illusion: the only creative source of colour is the sunlight which envelopes all things, and reveals them, according to the hours, with infinite modifications.
Colour is the experession of the design.
Theory of Impressionism
Shadow is not the absence of light, but the light of different quality and of different value.
Shadow is not a part of the landscape, where light ceases, but where it is subordinated to a light which appears to us more intense.
