19th-Century Painting

The 19th century brought revolutionary changes to painting. At first, there was a return to Realism, but this era was short-lived due to profound social transformations brought about by the Industrial Revolution. New artistic trends emerged primarily in Paris, which became the capital of the art world.
The supply of 19th-century paintings is limited, much like that of the Old Masters. Their value continues to rise steadily, while acquisitions by museums further reduce the number of works available on the market.
