Realism is an artistic and literary movement that emerged in the 19th century as a reaction against Romanticism. Realist artists and writers sought to depict everyday life and society as they truly were without romanticizing or idealizing them. They focused on ordinary people and their experiences, often addressing social and political issues. Realism aimed to provide an accurate and unembellished portrayal of the world, emphasizing truth and accuracy in representation.
