Naturalism in Painting 1870–1905
Conference of the Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest
Publié le mardi 14 juin 2022
Résumé
Perceived as the dominant artistic trend of the last third of the 19th century, yet, still difficult to delineate, Naturalism raises a number of conceptual issues. Naturalism, perhaps the most significant trend in European painting in the 1880s and 1890s, was present simultaneously in other European countries only a few years after its emergence in France, and appeared in equal quality from Scotland to Russia and Spain to Hungary. In order to better understand the current of Naturalism, the research group “Realism and Naturalism in Hungary and in Europe” based at the Hungarian National Gallery is organizing a 2-day international conference.

Presentation
Perceived as the dominant artistic trend of the last third of the 19th century, yet, still difficult to delineate, Naturalism raises a number of conceptual issues. Naturalism, perhaps the most significant trend in European painting in the 1880s and 1890s, was present simultaneously in other European countries only a few years after its emergence in France, and appeared in equal quality from Scotland to Russia and Spain to Hungary. It was thus a mainstream trend to which, unlike for other contemporary artistic tendencies, the centre-periphery model did not apply. What lies behind this transnational, if not universal pictorial language, which resulted in an almost immeasurable quantity of artworks?
In order to better understand the current of Naturalism, the research group "Realism and Naturalism in Hungary and in Europe" based at the Hungarian National Gallery is organizing a 2-day international conference.
The main sections of the conference are:
- theoretical analysis of Naturalism, its sources and terminology
- technique and education
- networks (with a special regard to the international impact of Jules Bastien-Lepage and Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret)
- case studies
