Realists reacted to the industrial Revolution by creating what types of paintings?
A. Images of the wealthy.
B. Images of the middle class.
C. Images of soliders
D. Images of despair.
Is the answer C?
Thank you for your help.
This is another of those questions where none of the multiple choice answers are really correct. 19th century realist painters often turned to landscapes, often bucolic landscapes, perhaps longing for a simpler time. Urban scenes often depicted railroad trains, smoke, etc. Some, like Georges Serault (sp?) depicted middle class people. Others depicted (as artists always did) wealthy people who could afford to have their portraits painted.
I meant B.
I think B is correct.
Thank you for your time.
These don't look like images of the middle class.

I got it wrong the answer was B.
so whats the answer
The realists did create paintings that depicted various aspects of the industrial revolution. However, the answer to your question is not C. The correct answer is D. Images of despair. Realist painters sought to portray the harsh realities of the time, including the social and economic problems caused by industrialization. They depicted scenes of poverty, working-class struggles, and the effects of rapid urbanization. These paintings often showcased the hardships faced by the lower classes and aimed to bring attention to the inequalities of the industrial era. To arrive at this answer, it is helpful to have a basic understanding of the realist art movement and its goals.
Yes. I think D is the best answer.
Besides -- who made up the middle class during the industrial revolution??
