Originals in this selection, Painting, Impressionism, 500 to 1,000 euro.
The brushstroke as a building block of light
Impressionist painting records how light transforms things: a field turns yellow when the sun is low, and a pond breaks into dabs. If you want impressionist paintings in the 500 to 1,000 euro range for sale, you can leave technique and support open and choose by the impression of light.

Larger format, more atmosphere
At this price level, mid-sized to larger formats are common among originals, big enough to really stretch out a landscape or a garden scene. Above a dining table or a bench they bring daylight into the room, even when it is autumn outside.
Question the technique
Because painting spans many methods, the listing helps with classification: oil, acrylic, gouache? On what support? Varnished? A photo of the back and a note on the signature give extra assurance. Plan the frame right away, since it shapes the impression.
