The last quarter of the 19th century saw Naturalism become one of the dominant movements in painting. This photographic style of painting transcended national borders, and fanned out throughout all of Europe and the United States. The themes were drawn from daily 'modern' life: labourers, farmers, the affluent middle classes; all layers of society served as subjects. This collection sheds light on the various aspects of Naturalism: its themes, painting practice and the response of critics and the public.
