Yes, the names are a bit too general and therefore confusing. But it was really the mindset of these painters that determined whether they are classified as a Realist artist. Eakins, for example, really wanted to capture the human anatomy correctly, and in some works, he did that in such detail that some would call that Naturalism. But generally, he is considered a Realist as explained in the video.
I don't always watch your videos, but I love your content, especially the one on Instagram, I am a lover of art history. I send you greetings from Tijuana Mexico ✨🙌
Can Rembrandt's "A Shipbuilder and his wife" be considered a precursor to this movement. Even though, there's almost photorealistic levels of detail in Rembrandt's art.
To some degree yes, but that can be said more generally for some Baroque art from The Netherlands. However, in this particular case, it shows a wealthy couple, and this work was commissioned by them, something that the artists in the Realist movement would not consider true Realism.
I never realized realism and photography came up at around the same time. Interesting!
The Daguerreotype became available in 1839 and became quite popular in the next two decades.
Interesting overview. I never quite understood the difference between naturalism and realism.

Corbet observed himself in the mirror..a lot...
I couldn't leave that brilliant self-portrait out of the video when talking about Courbet ;-)
