The romantic period is marked by idealistic and romantic. It is about the nature-loving brave, and undaunted heroes. It was probably the time when literature and arts is the most colorful and imaginative. However, the American Civil War brought people back to reality. Influenced by the war, literature and arts during that time was gloomy. The color they used in the painting was drastically different. Romantic painting is colorful and imaginative. It usually portrays heroes and makes them great and wonderful. Realist painting, however, has a much darker color tone. There is usually a lot of brown in the paintings. The subject of the artwork is also different. Realistic art focuses on the average people, which are usually pretty poor. It portrays city life and how gloomy and dirty things are in the city. An example of a realist subject would be a group of factory workers coming back from work. They would all seem very tired from long hours of work. The damage of the war on people’s minds and hearts are portrayed in these works. It worked o showing the real world, which people of the time thought was always negative. Compared to romanticism, realism is a lot more negative.
