Impressionism is Characterized by its interest in the effect of the light and proportion. A good example of this effect is shown in the painting that Alfred Sisley did called The Flooding At Port Marly. In this painting the artist is showing the reflection of the building in the water and how the light is hitting with all around the surrounding.
