Naturalism Painting
In the painting, naturalism is an artistic movement emerged in the nineteenth century , specifically in France around 1870, following the realism. It incorporates the features in giving paramount importance to the cause, nature perceived as such, and the world peasant , rather than historical scenes. The novelty is that it takes a position in favor of the people and the world's workers. This movement precedes the Impressionism. In literature, we differentiate the realism of naturalism in painting too. Large format paintings in which the key is the human figure and not the decor. An important part of the naturalist movement is in the Darwinian perspective of life and belief in the futility of human efforts against the power of Nature. In communist countries, naturalism attempts to describe the proletariat and the revolt against industrialization, reflecting on the lives of peasants and fight for social justice.
