Romantic Realism is a relatively new style of painting, which beautifully blends the underlying philosophies of the Romanticism and the Realism. Realism was a French art movement of 1850s, where the artists believed in the near to actual representation of scenes and subjects. In effect, Realism disregarded its predecessor styles of ‘idealism’ and ornate portrayals, like Renaissance and Baroque. Romanticism, on the other hand, detested the idea of ‘mechanical’ art that concentrated on the functions of time and space, limiting the scope of creativity altogether. This genre was prevalent in the 18th century, and was the predecessor of Realism.
