Idyllic school
The Idyllic school (also known as the Idyllists) was a 19th-century art movement of British artists—both painters and illustrators—whose depictions of rural landscapes combined elements of social realism and idealism. Van Gogh's well-known admiration for the group was shown in letters to his brother Theo, and in his collection of their work extracted from contemporary British newspapers, such as the Illustrated London News and The Graphic. Nowadays the Idyllist school is seen as one of the earliest manifestation of the social realism movement in art[1][2][3][4]

gollark: oh no.
gollark: I would probably just self-host, personally, which I do for basically all my online stuff since I don't care about monetizing it (and have no chance of getting much out of that, and don't want to support ad networks), I have some limited amount of competence at running servers, and it's not high-traffic or big enough that it costs a significant amount.
gollark: That may not be ideal for getting a long-term audience.
gollark: So, have non-YouTube copies of things, I guess?
