Realism is a literary and artistic movement that emerged in the 19th century, which aimed to depict life as accurately and truthfully as possible. Realist works often focus on the everyday experiences of ordinary people, often exploring themes of social class, morality, and human nature. Realist writers and artists sought to capture the complexities and realities of contemporary society, often portraying the harsh conditions of urban life and the struggles of the working class. Some well-known realist authors include Gustave Flaubert, Leo Tolstoy, and George Eliot.
