问题     In 1876 Edmond Duranty dubbed the style of emerging French Impressionist artists “The New Painting”, More than a style, the Impressionists’ luminous landscapes were regarded as a new way of seeing. Of course, it was not wholly new. The English painters Constable and Turner, whose work French artists knew, had already painted out of doors earlier in the century and brilliantly sought to capture the impact of natural scenes on their sensibility. Courbet’s toughminded realism and Jongkind’s harbor scenes also had much to teach the emergent movement. The Impressionists never denied this ancestry; but they were aware, too, that they had taken these painters’ unconventional experiments to unfamiliar levels and, consolidating themselves as a movement, had indeed made painting new.
The passage suggests that the impact of Impressionism can be attributed in part to

选项 A、Duranty’s enthusiastic promotion of the movement
B、the moribund state of painting when first presented their works
C、the widespread popularity in France of works by Courbet and Jongkind
D、a lack of earlier examples of outdoor painting
E、the solidarity of its practitioners

答案E

解析 对应第五句的consolidating themselves as a movement。
