Impressionism became popular in the UK around the late 19th century. This was after the first Impressionist exhibition in London in 1874. The movement gained more recognition and popularity after the exhibition of Monet's series of paintings, 'Haystacks', at the Leicester Galleries in 1891.

Neo-Impressionism is an art movement that began in France in the late 19th century. It was led by the artist Georges Seurat. The movement is characterized by the use of tiny dots of various pure colors, which are intended to blend together and convey a luminous quality of light when viewed from a distance. This technique is known as Pointillism. Neo-Impressionism was a reaction against the spontaneous and loose brushwork of Impressionism, aiming for greater precision and formal structure in painting.
