Realismo

Realismo, or Realism, is a movement in art, literature, and philosophy that emerged in the 19th century. It emphasizes the depiction of everyday life and ordinary people, focusing on realism over romanticism or idealism. Realists sought to portray subjects truthfully and accurately, reflecting social realities, struggles, and the environment without embellishment. In literature, this meant characters faced real-life dilemmas, while in art, it involved capturing scenes from daily life. Realism aimed to provide a mirror to society, encouraging viewers and readers to confront the truths of their world rather than escape into fantasy.
