Realism was an artistic movement that emerged in Europe in the late 19th century, especially in France, that aimed to faithfully portray contemporary life and social realities through accurate details and depictions of characters. Key aspects included a focus on truth, contemporary settings and themes, portrayals of social injustices, and cause-and-effect relationships. Prominent realist painters included Édouard Manet, Gustave Courbet, Honoré Daumier, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Jean-François Millet, Théodore Rousseau, and Auguste Rodin.
