The French school of painting refers to the artistic tradition that developed in France from the Renaissance through the modern era, influencing and shaping European art. It encompasses various movements, including Classicism, Rococo, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism. The French Academy, established in the 17th century, played a significant role in formalizing artistic standards, while later artists like Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Paul Cézanne pushed the boundaries of artistic expression. French painters have been instrumental in defining styles that emphasize light, movement, and emotion, making France a central force in the evolution of Western art.
