Realist Figurative Paintings

REALIST STYLE

Realist art attempts to portray its subject matter without artifice. Similar to naturalism, authentic realist paintings and prints see an integration of true-to-life colors, meticulous detail and linear perspectives for accurate portrayals of the world. 

Work that involves illusionistic techniques of realism dates back to the classical world, such as the deceptive trompe l’oeil used since ancient Greece. Art like this became especially popular in the 17th century when Dutch artists like Evert Collier painted objects that appeared real enough to touch. Realism as an artistic movement, however, usually refers to 19th-century French realist artists such as Honoré Daumier exploring social and political issues in biting lithographic prints, while the likes of Gustave Courbet and Jean-François Millet painting people — particularly the working class — with all their imperfections, navigating everyday urban life. This was a response to the dominant academic art tradition that favored grand paintings of myth and history. 

By the turn of the 20th century, European artists, such as the Pre-Raphaelites, were experimenting with nearly photographic realism in their work, as seen in the attention to every botanical attribute of the flowers surrounding the drowned Ophelia painted by English artist John Everett Millais.

Although abstraction was the guiding style of 20th-century art, the realism trend in American modern art endured in Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth and other artists’ depictions of the complexities of the human experience. In the late 1960s, Photorealism emerged with artists like Chuck Close and Richard Estes giving their paintings the precision of a frame of film.

Contemporary artists such as Jordan Casteel, LaToya Ruby Frazier and Aliza Nisenbaum are now using the unvarnished realist approach for honest representations of people and their worlds. Alongside traditional mediums, technology such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence and immersive installations are helping artists create new sensations of realism in art.

FINE OIL PAINTING By Robert Woodley Brown 19th Century British OLD MASTER PIECE

OLD FINE Original Antique 19th Century British OLD MASTER OIL PAINTING Very Good Condition Canvas , a little crazing due to age . Professional Cleaned & Re-vanished , Re-lined Ready to hang. " Beautiful frame is in Very Good condition , this work alone would cost £700 alone (See Pictures) Fine Original Antique 19th Century British OLD MASTER OIL PAINTING Romantic Scene GOLD GILT FRAME By The Reverend Robert Woodley-Brown 1798 - 1869 Similar $4,000 Premier Collection This Piece is Exceptional good for its age , nice piece of British history Description ( 19th century ) Title: Romantic Scene 1845 Artist: The Reverend Robert Woodley-Brown 1798 - 1869 Signed : maybe under the frame edge Provenance: john Castagno art signature directory Medium : Oil painting on Canvas Condition: Very Good Country: British school Frame size : 23 in x 19 in ( 58 cm x 48 cm) Canvas size : 16" x 12" With an estimate of £3000 - £4000 in a London west End Gallery Description : The Reverend Robert Woodley-Brown was one of those early English landscape painters whose style is so distinct that it is nearly impossible not to be able to instantly recognize his work. This one is no exception.; His paintings remind me of the old movie, “Shangri-La,” where the travelers found a magical place while crossing the Himalayas. The Reverend’s paintings have that kind of magic in them; perhaps it’s his rich color palette or his slightly provincial, yet very Georgian style. It seems there are always pretty skies along with mountains in the background and rivers or lochs somewhere in his compositions. In any case, the result is still pure magic.; This is an accomplished yet charming painting by an artist thought to be actively painting from around 1810 to 1850 and specializing in the stunning scenery of England’s Lake District. Unfortunately, little is known about Reverend Brown’s personal life, and he did not sign most of his works. I have handled several of his paintings in the course of my career and he always has been among my favorite artists.; This gorgeous landscape delivers all of Reverend Woodley-Brown’s quintessential style, color and romantic feel for which his work is admired. His figures, though seemingly entranced themselves by the beauty around them, are there primarily to give scale and a focal point. The trees are in deep, rich greens, while the pink-tinged sky further show off his talent in the realm of color. We are immediately pulled into the artist’s world. The serenity of the scene, as in all of his works, is overwhelming, making the viewer a willing partner in the artist’s interpretation of it. The very Woodley-Brownish romantic folly only adds to the scene’s charm.; In the world of Reverend Brown, his cottages often became follies shrouded in greenery. The background mountains rose...

Harem Girls in the Palace Courtyard 19th Century Antique Oil Painting on Canvas
Located in Jacksonville, FL
Description: Fabio Fabbi: A Master of Orientalist Intrigue The painting is signed on the bottom left side. Fabio Fabbi, an esteemed Italian artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, emerged as a prominent figure within the Orientalist art movement. Born in Rome in 1861, Fabbi’s passion for capturing the exotic and mysterious landscapes and cultures of the East would define his artistic career and leave an indelible mark on the art world. Fabbi’s artistic journey began with formal training at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, where he developed a deep appreciation for classical techniques and aesthetics. However, it was his encounters with Orientalist themes and subjects that ignited his imagination and set him on a path to becoming a renowned master of Orientalist art. One of Fabbi’s most captivating works, “Harem Girls in the Palace Courtyard,” stands as a testament to his exceptional talent for depicting scenes of intrigue and sensuality within the luxurious settings of the Ottoman Empire. This mesmerizing painting invites viewers into the opulent world of a harem, where a group of beautiful women gracefully gather in a sunlit courtyard. Fabbi’s brushwork skillfully captures the vibrant colors, exquisite textiles, and intricate architectural details that define the environment. In “Harem Girls in the Palace Courtyard,” Fabbi delves into the alluring realm of the harem, exploring the interplay between power, desire, and secrecy. With meticulous attention to detail, he captures the expressions and body language of the women, evoking a sense of mystery and sensuality. The play of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the composition, further immersing viewers in the rich atmosphere of the scene. Fabbi’s ability to weave narratives within his artworks sets him apart. “Harem Girls in the Palace Courtyard” not only showcases his technical skill but also tells a story—a glimpse into a hidden world that fascinates and captivates. Through his artistry, Fabbi offers a nuanced portrayal of Eastern culture, emphasizing the beauty and complexity that lie beneath the surface. Throughout his career, Fabio Fabbi gained recognition and admiration for his Orientalist works. His paintings were exhibited in prominent galleries across Europe, where audiences marveled at his ability to transport them to distant lands and evoke a sense of wonder and intrigue. Fabbi’s talent for capturing the essence of Orientalist themes and his exquisite attention to detail earned him a place among the most respected artists of his time. Fabio Fabbi’s legacy lives on through his remarkable artworks. His ability to portray the mysteries and allure of the East continues to inspire and captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. “Harem Girls in the Palace Courtyard” exemplifies Fabbi’s mastery of the Orientalist genre, inviting viewers to step into a world of beauty, enchantment, and hidden desires.

Fiesole Path
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
Painted en plein air in Fiesole, Italy, just outside of the bustling city of Florence. Artist Bio Angel Ramiro Sanchez was born in 1974 in Maracaibo, Venezuela. At age six was accepted with full scholarship into the Instituto the Niños Cantores del Zulia, school for musically gifted children. At age fourteen he began five years of apprenticeship with the realist painter, Abdon J. Romero, an eminent specialist in murals for churches and public buildings. In 1993, a study grant from Mgr. Gustavo Ocando Yamarte, Founder the Niños Cantores, enabled him to travel to Florence, Italy, where he studied at the renowned Accademia di Belle Arti, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1997. At the same time, he was enrolled at The Florence Academy of Art,founded by painter Daniel Graves, where he received a diploma in Painting. Ramiro was appointed senior painting instructor at The Florence Academy of Art in 1997, and is currently Director of the Advanced Painting Program. Ramiro paints only from life, searching for accuracy beyond physical appearance to reach the psychological state of his subject. He believes the painter must draw his information from "all five senses" to tell the complete human story. Ramiros work is predominantly represented by th e Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor, New York, but also Scriba Gallery, venice, Italy, Jack Meier Gallery, Houston, Tx. Ramiros works can be found in numerous private collections in Europe, The United States and South America. Public collections include: The Fondazione Stelline, Milan, Italy. The Fremantle Foundation for Foreing Artist in Tuscany at Villa Peyron, Florence, Italy and The Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA. USA.
