Question

Naturalistic paintings were a response to which historical event

Answer 1

Realists rejected Romanticism, which had dominated French literature and art since the late 18th century. Realism revolted against the exotic subject matter and the exaggerated emotionalism and drama of the Romantic movement.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Romanticism.

Explanation:

The movement that emerged as a form of opposition to Romanticism was called Realism.

It originated in France during the revolution of 1848.

As the name implies, this movement sought to identify real people and things, which was quite the opposite of Romanticism, who had a more exaggerated and exotic style.

Given that it developed during a time of revolution, realism wanted to show the changes produced by the revolutions, and the people affected by them, whether rich or poor.

During this period the use of photographs was greatly increased, which also portrayed reality.
