What is a Genre Painting? In fine art, a genre painting is the depiction of an everyday scene, in which one or more human figures play a significant part. The scene in question is usually painted in a realistic or at least non-idealized manner. This is the closest we can get to a definition of a genre painting, because there is no firm dividing line between this type of picture and (say) a landscape, or even a portrait.
When was the first Genre Painting produced? Small touches of genre are evident in 15th century Italian paintings, such as those of the Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio (c.1500), but usually such elements were merely background for what was really religious paintings. Besides, realistic genre painting did not fit with the idealization of face and figure favoured by the Italian Renaissance. Not surprisingly, therefore, it was left to the more down-to-earth Northern Renaissance Artists (1430-1580) to pioneer the form, and to the later Dutch Realist artists to perfect it.
