Realism is an artistic movement that appeared in France and Great Britain in the middle of the 19th century, which, asserting its difference from Romanticism, is characterized by a quest for reality, a crude representation of everyday life and the exploration of societal themes. Realism is not an attempt to slavishly imitate reality, and is not limited to painting. It explodes the canons, uses or rules of the academic painting of its time, in a context that sees the emergence of photography, the ideals of socialism and positivism, and participates in the general phenomenon of questioning aesthetic categories and artistic hierarchies. By its radical nature, this movement allowed the various artistic avant-gardes to assert themselves from the end of the 19th century. See less
