The work of Matthew Brady during the American Civil War pioneered many notable aspects of photography, which was still a new medium and had mostly been devoted to portraiture. Brady's willingness to document the Civil War by going to battlefields reframed the possibilities for photography, notably allowing for the development of photojournalism.

The work offers an impression of a sunrise, hence the name, and is of the Impressionist style.

This work was made by Claude Monet, who is famous for a series of paintings depicting the water lilies in his garden.

Impressionism grew out of the desire of nineteenth-century Parisian artists to move away from the outdated works of the Salon de Paris. Their work moved against tradition and was rejected by the Salon, causing a movement to form in response.

Seurat's ...La Grande Jatte is the most iconic work in the pointillist style. Leger's works had more in common with cubism than pointillism and Bosch's works were created during the Renaissance.

Paul Gauguin produced this work in Tahiti, where he lived for a good portion of his life. Tahiti is part of French Polynesia, making it a desirable destination for a French man in the late 1800s. In order to solve this question you needed to know that the piece was by Gauguin, the association of Gauguin with Tahiti is one of the most famous in 19th-century art.

The Polynesian subject matter and smooth brush style indicate that this is a Paul Gauguin. While Gauguin and van Gogh were close contemporaries, their styles of painting vary greatly. Gauguin is closely related to Cézanne, however the subject matter and lack of geometric brush strokes indicate that Cézanne could not be the artist. Matisse and Chagall both do not relate.

While van Gogh studied with impressionists, the vast majority of his work does not reflect the tenets of impressionism. Where he works with block and absolute color, the impressionists mixed their color to match the exact refracted light at exact times of day. Since the majority of his work comes after the short-lived impressionist period, he would be considered Post-Impressionist. De Stijl, Vienna Secession, and Dada all do not relate. This piece is called Cypresses it was written in (1889).

van Gogh, while Flemish, spent the vast majority of his life in France. In order to solve this question you needed to identify the piece as having been painted by van Gogh, and to know that he spent the vast majority of his active painting career in France.

While Gauguin is often considered a post-impressionist artist with ties to the impressionists, his work in French Polynesia (Tahiti) is considered primitivist. This was a style in the second half of the nineteenth century, particularly popular amongst artists with ties to European colonies.
