Specifically, Realism was a French artistic movement that rejected the drama and emotionalism of the previous Romantic movement in favour of the typical, the real and the contemporary. The subject matter changed from the theatrical, composed figure paintings of historical or classical themes, to observations of the lives of ordinary people...Millet's "The Gleaners" or the work of Daumier.
The choice of subject matter followed through into the work of the Impressionists, and if you look at the work of Corot, you can see how there was also a degree of technical inspiration too.
It's worth noting that the term "Realism" has also been used as the counterpoint, or antithesis, more recently to abstract art. Strictly speaking that is wrong.
