first glance, Realism and Impressionism appear to be completely separate movements in 19th century art, they in fact were both bred as a response to the new order of Europe that had evolved as a result of the marks made by both the Industrial Revolution and a series of European continental wars.

While the word nude has becoming positive in art history, due to the large use of it over the years, the word naked has been always negative.
