El impresionismo, como referente para la representación pictórica del paisaje de la parroquia de Chuquiribamba

Abstract

By studying the general characteristics of landscape painting in the age of impressionism—a movement distinguished by the technique applied in pictorial works—, this research aims to become a reference on the subject for the author, whose purpose throughout this document is to analyze and use the outstanding characteristics of the impressionist style for the development and foundation of his personal artistic work. To this end, the natural environment of the landscape of the Chuquiribamba parish was considered. The historical context of this area is analyzed firstly, framed in the direct contact of the particularities of the elements and in experimentation, later to be applied in the artworks’ sketching which is based on the theoretical research on the impressionist age. The knowledge acquired across the research process is reflected in the final artworks, whose purpose is to capture Chuquiribamba’s landscape incorporating the reinterpretation of the impressionist style.
