    Realism is an art movement that depicts ordinary people and everyday life as it appears to the eye. It aims to capture reality rather than idealized versions. While Greek sculptures and 17th century artists like Caravaggio brought a sense of realism, Gustave Courbet in the 19th century is credited with leading the Realism movement and coining the term. He depicted life as it really was rather than better than it was. Other realist artists mentioned include Jean-François Millet and Edward Hopper.
