What are the differences between the impressionistic artists and dutch artists.?
Most Dutch artists (the ones you mean) lived in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, in the time of the Dutch revolt. Rembrandt himself was born in the early 17th century. They were making paintings on commission from wealthy people, and were all painting very realistically and detailed. They often painted very Christian or historical subjects. Impressionist painters made, as the name says, very ‘impressionist’ images of what they saw. It was more important to them to get the setting and colors right than whether it was realistic and detailed. Monet, Manet and Cassatt, the people you name, were all deeply influenced by the French landscape and people (the first two being French themselves), and France was also the centre of Impressionism.
