Genre Painting

also called genre scene or petit genre, depicts aspects of everyday life by portraying ordinary people engaged in common activities. These depictions can be realistic, imagined, or romanticized by the artist.

Because of their familiar and frequently sentimental subject matter, genre paintings have often proven popular with

the middle class.
