Understanding Western Art
Summary
Genre painting depicts real people involved in daily activities. Witness its flowering in the late Renaissance, and study the sprawling, dazzlingly detailed scene in Pieter Brueghel the Elder's Children's Games from 1560. Encounter the Realist movement brought by the Industrial Revolution, in the example of Ilya Repin's Religious Procession, capturing the social reality of 19th century Russia.
