A Close Look at Realist Art
Realist art attempts to portray its subject matter without artifice. Similar to naturalism, authentic realist paintings and prints see an integration of true-to-life colors, meticulous detail and linear perspectives for accurate portrayals of the world.
Work that involves illusionistic techniques of realism dates back to the classical world, such as the deceptive trompe l’oeil used since ancient Greece. Art like this became especially popular in the 17th century when Dutch artists like Evert Collier painted objects that appeared real enough to touch. Realism as an artistic movement, however, usually refers to 19th-century French realist artists such as Honoré Daumier exploring social and political issues in biting lithographic prints, while the likes of Gustave Courbet and Jean-François Millet painting people — particularly the working class — with all their imperfections, navigating everyday urban life. This was a response to the dominant academic art tradition that favored grand paintings of myth and history.
By the turn of the 20th century, European artists, such as the Pre-Raphaelites, were experimenting with nearly photographic realism in their work, as seen in the attention to every botanical attribute of the flowers surrounding the drowned Ophelia painted by English artist John Everett Millais.
Although abstraction was the guiding style of 20th-century art, the realism trend in American modern art endured in Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth and other artists’ depictions of the complexities of the human experience. In the late 1960s, Photorealism emerged with artists like Chuck Close and Richard Estes giving their paintings the precision of a frame of film.
Contemporary artists such as Jordan Casteel, LaToya Ruby Frazier and Aliza Nisenbaum are now using the unvarnished realist approach for honest representations of people and their worlds. Alongside traditional mediums, technology such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence and immersive installations are helping artists create new sensations of realism in art.

Questions About Cat Realist Paintings
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024What you call a painting that is not realistic varies. If the work doesn't represent the real world, a general term for it is abstract. A work that doesn't seek to portray a subject realistically may also be an example of a specific art movement. For example, Impressionist art embraced loose brushwork and plein-air painting to respond to the movement of daily life. In contrast, Pop art drew on imagery from popular culture, such as comic books, advertising, product packaging and other commercial media. Researching the artist of a painting can help you learn more about the art movements they were associated with. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of paintings.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021While there is no consensus for the world's most realistic painting, there are many artists who are exploring hyperrealism, an extension of photorealism that evokes the illusion of photography and photographic images. Well-known hyperrealists include Jason de Graaf, Gustavo Silva Nuñez, Simon Hennessey and Carole Feuerman.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024Opinions differ on who painted the most realistic portraits. Among historical artists, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn, John Singer Sargent, Jan van Eyck and Diego Velázquez are all contenders for the title. Many contemporary Photorealist and Hyperrealist portrait artists have also produced incredibly lifelike works. Among them are Taner Ceylan, Robert Longo, Chuck Close, Kelly Birkenruth and Daniela Werneck. Find a large selection of portrait paintings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024Although many artists may fit this description, a famous German artist who painted realistic portraits is Wilhelm Leibl. As a printmaker and painter, Leibl worked during the second half of the 19th century and created many paintings of German peasants in traditional dress. Some of his most notable works include Three Women in Church, Die Dorfpolitiker, Farm Girl with a White Head Scarf and Die junge Pariserin (Die Kokotte). On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of Realist art.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024The first Italian painter to paint realistic figures was Giotto di Bondone. His works marked a departure from the elongated, stylized forms common in early Christian art and served as inspiration for Italian Renaissance painters. Giotto's most famous paintings include Lamentation, the Ognissanti Madonna, the Kiss of Judas and Pentecost. Explore a diverse assortment of fine art on 1stDibs.
- Did Andy Warhol paint cats?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Andy Warhol did paint cats. Before reaching the height of his success, he lived in a New York apartment with his mother and 25 cats. He would paint his cats in his spare time. Find a collection of expertly vetted Andy Warhol pieces from some of the world’s top reputable sellers on 1stDibs.
