Realism
Realism took hold in the mid-nineteenth century as painters turned away from idealized, historical subjects to depict everyday life and ordinary people as they actually looked. Gustave Courbet was a leading voice of the movement in France, alongside American painters working in a similar spirit, at a time when photography was also changing ideas about accurate depiction.
This collection includes Courbet's Woman with a Parrot, Manet's The Old Musician, and Winslow Homer's Breezing Up (A Fair Wind) and Eight Bells. Each canvas is made to order on stretched canvas, with its size labeled against the true dimensions of the original.
