A painterly style where elements are depicted in their natural setting, without the use of ornamentation and idealised forms. Naturalist representations precisely present the subject they seek to present. Notable artists working in the naturalist mode included John Constable, Thomas Cole and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot.
