1. quote from wikipedia, "...artists gathered at Barbizon ... making nature the subject of their paintings." So, false

2, another quote from wikipedia, "The brotherhood's early doctrines were expressed in four declarations:
to have genuine ideas to express
to study nature attentively, so as to know how to express them
to sympathise with what is direct and serious and heartfelt in previous art, to the exclusion of what is conventional and self-parodying and learned by rote
most indispensable of all, to produce thoroughly good pictures and statues"

I leave it to you to decide

it didn't show up on my end for some reason Sue. thanks though

so it would be fals correct since they violating conventional views of both proper style and subject.

The statement "The Barbizon painters were known for their urban, studio created " is false. The Barbizon school of painters, which emerged in the mid-19th century in France, focused primarily on landscapes, rural scenes, and naturalistic subjects. They were inspired by the rural countryside around the village of Barbizon and sought to capture its beauty and tranquility. were not a prominent subject matter for these artists.

Regarding the statement "The Pre-Raphaelites advocated an urban, Parisian sophistication in their art," it is false as well. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of English artists in the 19th century who aimed to revert to the detailed, vibrant style of art that predates the Renaissance. They were inspired by medieval and early Renaissance art, rejecting what they perceived as the artificiality of academic art. Their subject matter often involved mythological, literary, or historical themes, and they typically depicted scenes in natural settings rather than urban environments. While some members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood did spend time in Paris, the urban sophistication that characterized the Parisian art scene was not a central focus or influence in their work.
