Realist artists depicted___
whereas Romantic artists depicted

Realist artists depicted common people, whereas Romantic artists depicted personal emotional reactions. This is the right answer.

Explanation:

Realist artists rejected the prevailing ideas of beauty, perfection, and technical excellence. Instead, they depicted real, common people who worked in fields and factories.

After years of revolution and political upheaval, Romantic artists gave up idealism and chose to express their personal and emotional reactions in their works. Their paintings often dealt candidly with death and suffering.
