Realism

Realism was an artistic movement that began in France in the 1850s, after the 1848 Revolution. Realist created a new type of art, going against exaggerated emotionalism that comes from romanticism. They sought to create more accurate, truthful images portraying real people and their lives through their work.  The work often shows people of all classes in real life situations, including unpleasant aspects of peoples lives.
