What to look for

Realism: Academic art paints the same skill on idealised subjects; Impressionism keeps the modern subjects but breaks the paint into light, quick strokes.

Jean Frédéric Bazille (December 6, 1841 – November 28, 1870) was a French Impressionist painter. Many of Bazille's major works are examples of figure painting in which he placed the subject figure within a landscape painted en plein air. Wikipedia
