The Continental School generally includes portraiture, city and landscape settings and humorous genre which were painted in the 19th and early 20th centuries on the European continent as distinct from the British Isles. There is a continuance in the day-to-day activities, architectural subjects and especially feminine beauties. These pictures share elements of meaning from Germany to Spain, which transcends local costumes, customs or locations. Many of these artists painted subjects which were sought out by continental tourists and American visitors. There was a universal appreciation and understanding although it might be clothed in a local fashion or style or setting.
