The Impasto Effect on Paintings

Annita Apostolidou Platis

Impasto is a thick application of paint that does not attempt to look smooth. A painting technique. Impasto is not a modern approach to painting. Art historians note that the technique was employed as early as the Renaissance and Baroque periods by artists such as Rembrandt, Titian, and Rubens. Impasto seems like a form of sculpture.
