Italian term

le poetiche del vero

Italian to English Other Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting 19th century Italian art
La mostra propone una lettura trasversale attraverso quei percorsi tematici che trovano maggiore riscontro nella cultura figurativa del tempo: l’ispirazione all’antico, il ritratto, l’intimismo e le scene di vita popolare, il paesaggio e le poetiche del vero con particolare attenzione al ruolo di Roma.

Could this be translated as perspective illustrative realism as mentioned in the text below?


The subjective reproduction of nature in this bravura quasi-photorealistic alfresco painting gave rise to epithets like perspective “illustrative realism” or “poetry of truth”.

illustrative realism / pictorial realism / poetics of realism

Hi Maria, I agree with you, "illustrative realism" or "pictorial realism"; poetics is of course an artist's theoretical perspective on what s/he is doing:

Therefore "poetics of realism" would work as well, depending on your audience.
If you google "poetics of realism", you can see the types of works which use this term and then decide which of the three best fits your audience.
HTH!
