Realist Landscape 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.

The Muse Terpsichore - Large 19th Century Portrait of the Ancient Greek Goddess
Located in Gerrards Cross, GB
‘The Muse Terpsichore’ by Franz von Lenbach (1836-1904). The painting – which depicts the artist's favourite model Lily Merk as the Ancient Greek goddess of music playing a harp before Mount Olympus – is signed by the artist and dated 1898. This large painting by one of the finest European portrait painters during the second half of the 19th century hangs in its original hand-carved gold metal leaf frame.
Academy Fine Paintings only offers artwork for sale in the finest condition it can be for its age, having been professionally cleaned, conserved, and re-varnished. Clients should also note that tracked and signed for international shipping is complimentary.
Franz von Lenbach studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts under the eminent German Realist painter Karl Theodor von Piloty (1826-1886). Lenbach was a star pupil and accompanied Piloty on a working trip to Rome during which time his reputation continued to grow. In 1867 he won a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle and his international reputation was made in 1869 when – although in competition with many of the most prominent French artists of the day – he was awarded the gold medal at the Glaspalast in Munich. From 1870 he exhibited at the most important international venues in London, Vienna, and Paris where he won a prestigious Grand Prix medal. In 1882, he was awarded the Order of Merit of the Bavarian Crown, and later became a Knight in the Legion of Honour.
Among Franz von Lenbach’s most famous paintings are portraits of William Gladstone, Richard Wagner, Pope Leo XIII, Johann Strauss, Emperor Franz Josef, King Ludwig I of Bavaria, Emperor Wilhelm II, and Count Otto von Bismarck...

The central focus of the painting is the shoreline where the boats are situated. The calm sea in the painting reflects the aftermath of the storm. The artist has used smooth brushstrokes to convey the stillness and tranquility of the water. The dark clouds in the sky suggest that the storm has passed or is receding. These clouds are depicted using darker tones, grays, and fading into lighter hues.
