Impressionism can be considered the first distinctly modern movement in painting. Developing in Paris in the 1860s, its influence spread throughout Europe and eventually the United States. Its originators were artists who rejected the official, government-sanctioned exhibitions, or salons, and were consequently shunned by powerful academic art institutions. In turning away from the fine finish and detail to which most artists of their day aspired, the Impressionists aimed to capture the momentary, sensory effect of a scene - the impression objects made on the eye in a fleeting instant. To achieve this effect, many Impressionist artists moved from the studio to the streets and countryside, painting en plein air.
Key Ideas:
The Impressionists loosened their brushwork and lightened their palettes to include pure, intense colors. They abandoned traditional linear perspective and avoided the clarity of form that had previously served to distinguish the more important elements of a picture from the lesser ones. For this reason, many critics faulted Impressionist paintings for their unfinished appearance and seemingly amateurish quality.
Picking up on the ideas of Gustave Courbet, the Impressionists aimed to be painters of the real - they aimed to extend the possible subjects for paintings. Getting away from depictions of idealized forms and perfect symmetry, but rather concentrating on the world as they saw it, imperfect in a myriad of ways.

I looked this question up and was able to find two answer options for it:
A. Douglass and Jacobs both wrote important autobiographies about their experience as slaves.
B. Douglass and Jacobs both escaped from slavery in the 1800's.
Answer:
The main idea of the passage is:
A. Douglass and Jacobs both wrote important autobiographies about their experience as slaves.
Explanation:
From the passage, we can safely infer that both Douglass and Jacobs escaped slavery in the 1800's taking into consideration the year they were born. However, that is not the focus of the paragraph. Notice how the author compares Douglass' and Jacobs' lives, focusing especially on the fact that they both wrote autobiographies and became supporters of the antislavery movement. This is the main idea of the passage: that Douglass and Jacobs become authors and that they described their own experience as slaves in their books.
