Snap the Whip, Art History

The piece above is named 'Snap The Whip', by Winslow Homer. This piece what made in the 1872, in oils.

This what made in the realistic movement, which was a movement in which artists tried to create their pieces based on the human eyes perspective; the real truth. There was no paintings of Gods, or mythical creatures, and the times of royalty were grown out of and art was focused more on the common man. As the art above shows, a realistic painting of common boys playing a game in front of what would be assumed their house. Many realistic and fine details allow you so infer that this was during the realistic movement.

If I would do this project again I would pick a painting that was more emotional and detailed so it would be more of a challenge to represent the same feeling from the original painting. I would chose that because although picking a painting that was so realistic and following it was difficult, the feeling that comes across from paintings would be a cool challenge to try to re-invent.
