Naturalism
Naturalism was an art movement that emerged in France in the 1870s as a late stage of Realism in close connection with sociology. Naturalism – from French naturalisme, from Latin naturalis – “natural”. French critic Jules-Antoine Castagnary first used this name to refer to an artistic concept. Later the term was introduced by French writer Emile Zola.
Types of Naturalism: landscape, figurative. Genres: storyline, landscape, illustration.
Similar movements: Romanticism, Realism. Art historians argue that Naturalism was synthesized into Symbolism and supplanted by Impressionism. It is important to remember that this term can be applied to varying degrees to works of art of different periods.
Paintings with botanical images are relevant to this day and adorn classic interiors. The wide scientific application of Naturalism can be traced in book illustrations. Thanks to Scientific Naturalism, we have paintings of different species of plants and animals that do not exist today.
Key ideas:
– Despite the close connection of Naturalism with science, philosophy and sociology, the main task is not “how” but “who” or “what” is drawn.
– With the help of “photographic method”, masters depicted nature and people with the least distortion and interpretation, with physiological characteristics and pathologies but with the presence of moral and aesthetic criticism.
– The concept excludes romantic subjectivity and satirical colouring.
– An important component of the art movement is the minimization of the image of God; religion is replaced by faith in nature and its laws.
