The most major contribution of the Impressionists is the choice of subject matter. Before, a painting was 'supposed to be' of a grand theme, the Impressionists began to paint every day scenes of everyday people, peasants at work, people eating a meal and so on. The addition of painting outside and looking at what light was doing to a scene was also a very radical change. The accepted painters of the era were painting in the studio.
