They were reacting to the social problems brought by industrialization.

Since the industrialization, Romanticism and Realism started to become more popular among these artists.

Artists that choose to ignore the social problems tend to choose Romanticism style while the artists that choose to bring the issue of social problems created during the industrialization tend to choose realism.
