French Realism throughout the ages, artistic creation has been one of many ways to communicate with our history. Every key fruiting, drawing, sculpture, etcetera Tells us a story of that time period and if we look unenviable enough, we can even feel what the people of that time may shed been lining.In this essay, two pieces of art will be introduced and interpreted The Milkmaid (circa 1657-1658) by Johannes Vermeer which is a Dutch Baroque oil painting thats 45. 5 x 41 CM located in Rasmussen, Amsterdam, Netherlands and Woman Baking Bread (1854) by Jean-Franois Millet which is a French Realism oil painting thats 55 x 46 CM located in Rasmussen Kerr leer-Mleer, Otter, Netherlands. The agenda of this comparing is to understand different ardours between the Dutch Baroque and French Realism, and to manoeuvre how Vermeer andMillet deal with the same every day domestic theme in a different way. During the 17th century, artists were focusing more on feeling and drama, also known as the Baroque time period. The overall style of Baroque art in paintings is detailed realism in portraits, epic landscapes, and a focus on the dramatic including the contrast between high spirits and shadow and the use of rich, deep colors. (Minded, 2. 05) Vermeer clobbered mainly in the Dutch Baroque style and does a magnificent Job in portraying and pitch to life an public task in the life of a handmaiden girl in The Milkmaid.On the other hand, Woman Baking Bread was motley in the Realist style during the 19th century. More specifically, this piece of art was motley in the French Realist style, which came about after the Revolution of 1848. Mi llets use of a simple, natural style with warmer colors and heavy application of paint (Minded, 3. 15) are characteristic traits in a Realist painting. Both works of art magnificently depicts the everyday domestic life. True to both styles, they both realistically depict a woman doing an every day task. Vermeers is that of a milkmaid oaring milk and Millets is that of a woman baking bread.However, both were painted in very different ways. Whereas Vermeers work is a prime example of a Dutch Baroque painting with its realistic way of portraying an everyday task, the use of bold colors, the detail, and the deep contrast between light and dark, Millets work is a prime example of a French Realist painting where the colors are warmer and much more simple. Vermeer was well known for his careful attention to detail. For example, the Jug and hands of the servant in The Milkmaid reveals a number of enticements, created as the artist struggled to depict them convincingly. (Frantic, 7)
