The response that is not a characteristic of Impressionism is:
A famous cathedral was chosen for the subject of the painting.
Impressionism is more focused on the effects of light and color rather than the subject matter itself being famous or not. The other options—capturing the reflection of light, the use of broken brush strokes, and complementary colors for shadows—are all typical characteristics of Impressionist painting.
