As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to watch videos. However, I can provide a general answer:
The exhibition "The Darker Side of Light: Arts of Privacy, 1850-1900" focuses on art that explores the concept of privacy during the Victorian era. This art includes photographs, paintings, and other visual creations that often depict intimate and private moments.
Impressionist paintings, on the other hand, focus more on capturing the impression or feeling of a moment rather than depicting private scenes. Impressionists often painted en plein air, or outside, and used loose brushstrokes and bright colors to depict landscapes and scenes from daily life.
Despite these differences, there are some similarities between the two types of art. Both often depict scenes from daily life and show a strong attention to detail. Additionally, both kinds of art were created during the same time period and therefore share some common themes and ideas. However, the focus and methodology of each type of art is significantly distinct from each other.
