Back in the late 19th century, a style know as Impressionism started to develop mainly in France. France unbraced this style where instead of the tradition way of dropping the color purely on to the canvas, it was mixed on the palette and on the canvas. Impressionism had the will to break 'official art' and is one of the most common painting styles in France today and is also very common in their art museums. Some of the famous Impression artists in their museums today are Monet, Renoir, Sisley, and Pissarro.
Another style France was famous for was Merovingian, developed between the fifth and eighth century. Also, Carolingian art, which belonged to King Charles Martel.
