But compare Swedish rappa â(â to snatch, seize, carry off â), Low German rapen â(â to snatch, seize â), Dutch rapen â(â to pick up, gather, collect â); the relationship with Germanic forms is not clear.

Bonjour, Monsieur Courbet, 1854. A Realist painting by Gustave Courbet. Realism in the arts is the attempt to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding artistic conventions, implausible, exotic and supernatural elements. Realism has been prevalent in the arts at many periods, and is in large part a matter of technique and training, and the avoidance of stylization.
