Some artists turned away from the types of paintings valued by the Academie, which inspired these artists to create the new movement that would later be named Impressionism.

The Academie des Beaux-Arts favored paintings that exhibited more of the Impressionist style, so artists started to imitate this desired style.

The Academie awarded many places in the Salon de Paris to Impressionist painters who were willing to take risks, which inspired other artists to start creating this same type of art.
