In todays class we looked into Realism. Realism art depicts the world as it exists. We looked at many artist taht incorporate realism into their art. We looked at a bunch of landscapes the first being Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875), View of Rome: The Bridge and Castel S. Angelo with the Cupola of St. Peter’s. This landscape is painted in a straight forward manner with little imagination and is simply just what we see. We also looked at the The Sower, by Jean-François Millet. A simple peasant painting which was made to represent the work peasant do. The absence of the mans face was not to paint a picture of a single individual but to praise all peasants. Another significant painting that represents Realism is the The Stone-Breakers, by Gustave Courbet. He paints two men, father and son breaking stone into tiny pieces to build a road. They are labour men, dressed in rags and dirt, and again with no visible face to symbolize labour men working as a collective.
