Portrait painting and genre scenes

Genre painting or genre scene painting depicts aspects of everyday life or portrays ordinary people engaged in common activities. Since the sixteenth century and the Flemish painter Brueghel, the genre has been extremely popular. Portraiture, an equally ancient genre, has stirred renewed interest over the last years.
