French Realism

Realism 

Realism was born in a time of revolutionary upheaval across Europe in the mid-19thcentury. Romanticism gave way to truth and sincerity, and a belief that art should come from direct experience.  Courbet said, "I cannot paint an angel because I have never seen one."  Below you will find the major French artists of this period arranged chronologically.
