Realist art

Realist art is a movement that emerged in the 19th century, focusing on depicting everyday life and ordinary people with accuracy and honesty. Instead of idealizing subjects or romanticizing scenes, realists aim to represent real-world situations, often highlighting social issues or the mundane aspects of life. The style emphasizes detailed, truthful portrayals, avoiding exaggeration or embellishment. Artists like Gustave Courbet and Jean-François Millet sought to reflect society’s reality, making art more accessible and relevant by showcasing genuine human experiences.
