Realism (1 gen 1850 anni – 1 gen 1880 anni)

Descrizione:

The 1850–1880 Realism period in art history saw a concentration on representing the human form objectively and realistically, devoid of the idealised and stylised patterns of earlier times. The invention of photography, which had a great impact on the arts as creators looked to convey the immediacy and realism of their surroundings, was one notable event that occurred during this time. This was mirrored in the works of painters like Gustave Courbet, who represented the human form in an unpretentious and plain manner, frequently showing regular people going about their daily lives. The use of the human form to examine social and political concerns, as shown in the works of Édouard Manet, who took on contentious themes like prostitution and class division, was another significant development during this time. Inspiring painters far into the 20th century and beyond, the realistic treatment of the human form also influenced the formation of other modernist trends like impressionism and post-impressionism.
