The movement that originated in France and signaled a serious break from the heaviness of German Romanticism in the late 1800s is Impressionism. However, among the options you've provided, none of them directly represent that movement.
- Neo-Classicism refers to a revival of classical styles and ideas, which occurred earlier in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
- Modern Jazz is a musical genre that developed in the 20th century and is not related to the art movements of the late 1800s.
- Expressionism is indeed a movement that arose as a reaction against realism, but it's more associated with the early 20th century and is often linked to German artists.
If the focus is on the visual arts and the late 19th century context, the term to look for would be Impressionism. If that's not one of your options, then none of the given choices accurately represent that specific break from Romanticism.
