Depiction of typical scenes from daily life in painting, with distinctions between rural, bourgeois, and courtly genres.
The genre reached its peak and immense popularity in Dutch paintings of the 17th century. In the 18th century, especially in France, the courtly and gallant painting became prominent, while in Germany, a more bourgeois character developed.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
A 19th-century trend of painting originated in France. Gustave Courbet was regarded as the initiator of the realist movement.
In Germany, Wilhelm Leibl and Hans Thoma, among others, were very enthusiastic about this style, which dealt with reality in a realistic way. In the 20th century, therewere recurring realist tendencies, such as Nouveau Réalisme, with artists like Arman and Jean Tinguely and the movement New Objectivity. In the 1960s, new forms of Realism emerged.
American Realism was founded by a group of eight painters of the Ashcan School. They were later joined by Edward Hopper, who became famous for his typically American motifs, depictions of people in architectural or landscape settings in static, actionless situations.
