This was perhaps considered to be
the first movement in art history
that broke away from the typical
standards and dynamics. Social
morals and values began to appear
in the art market, regardless of what
the monarchy wanted.

4. Young artists among the Realism
era were aware of a vastly changing
world, unable to ignore it in their
work. Art became contemporary,
not following the ways of the past
prior to the mid-nineteenth
century.
Thus, artists removed their focus on
ancient gods and biblical stories,
bring their art to the relatable social
economics of a changing culture
among the artists actual time.
