Realism is one of the most important artistic movements that emerged in the 19th century, and its emphasis is on depicting reality in an accurate way without additional embellishments. Realist paintings strive to depict everyday life, people, and landscapes in full detail and in a natural way. This style was formed in response to idealism and earlier romanticism, and realist artists believed that art should reflect social and cultural realities. Realist paintings usually show human emotions and realities directly without any distortion or beautification.
