The World of REALISM



Realism (1827 – 1927)

The history of realism finds its origins somewhere around the second half of the 19th century, mainly from 1827 to 1870. Among its main principles realism establishes itself as a way of thought more than a movement within a specific genre.



It seeks to express an object, scene or even a subject through that which is perceivable, negating all romanticism and subjectivism or any other elements which may distort something as it really exists. These realists, also known as positivists, found their faith in the fact that all knowledge obtained from science and its objectives would, in essence, solve all human problems.
