This period, known as Realism, represented everyday scenes and events as they actually looked. In Courbet's Burial at Ornans he had his friends pose for the painting because they were important to him and his life. This work shows real people behaving the way real people behave. On the other hand, an artist by the name of Manet was more interested in how to paint than in what to paint. In, The Railway, Manet avoided details because he wanted his picture to show what the eye could take in with a quick glance. Rosa Bonheur, on the other hand, painted The Horse Fair, which as a result is a thrilling blend of movement, drama, and reality that echoes the accomplishments of both Romantic and Realist artists.
