Answer:
The Gross Clinic
Explanation:
Thomas Eakins was a realist painting, so he was against the idealized world portrayed by the Romanticism that preceded him. He used to put the man as the central aspect of his paintings, creating a beautiful and deeply portrait of the human soul, but crude and natural at the same time. In the case of The Gross Clinic, a lecture is depicted with accurate and strong use of light. The importance of this painting is the depiction of an important part of medicine and was something that the audience didn't want to see (or refuse to see it) in a piece of art.
