Realism
The French Realism emerged in times of social hardship and political difficulty in France when early in 184 the Third Revolution took place in Paris. The origins of Realism lie in the discussions of a group ofartists writers and intellectuals in a Parisian bar in the late 1840's.
Realism was based on direct observation from the real world. During the same period, Jean-François Millet executed scenes of rural life that monumentalize peasants at work, such as the, "Sheep Shearing Beneath a Tree".
This image above is an example of realism art. It is called,"Sheep Shearing Beneath a Tree".
This composition is similar to that of a painting in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, which Millet exhibited at the Salon of 1853.
Realism emerged in the 19th Century in Europe. In the mid nineteenth century Corbet's art caused much controversary at the state because it went against standard academic practice. Till then genre scenes were expected to be small, pleasant, escapist works to be enjoyed by people living in towns.
Instead, they adopted the dimensions normally associated with historical or religious themes and depicted tough modern working conditions. Their nudes departed from idealised forms.
Another realist painter, "Edouard Manet", shows a different style in panting that would give way to Impressionism.
