Realist Art is a movement that emerged in the mid-19th century, focusing on depicting everyday life and ordinary people with accuracy and detail. Artists sought to represent subjects without idealization or romanticism, often highlighting the struggles and realities of working-class life. This approach was a response to the dramatic themes of Romanticism and aimed to portray the world as it truly is. Key figures in the Realist movement include Gustave Courbet and Jean-François Millet, who emphasized the importance of social issues in their work. Realist Art often features scenes from rural life, labor, and urban environments, showcasing the beauty and complexity of the mundane.
