The Idyllic school (also known as the Idyllists) was a 19th-century art movement of British artists—both painters and illustrators—whose depictions of rural landscapes combined elements of social realism and idealism. Van Gogh admiration for the group was shown in letters to his brother Theo. Nowadays the Idyllist school is seen as one of the earliest manifestation of the social realism movement in art
