In the 19th century religious and historical subject matter started going went out of use in painting as art practitioners in both United States and America concentrated on depicting the life around them. Even 20th century artists like Pierre Bonnard, Edward Hopper loved portraying scenes from everyday life and gradually this art form entered the realm of greatness.
Genre paintings which were neither ideal in style nor elevated in subject matter became a favorite with painters who wanted to capture the everyday activities of an ordinary soul. Genre paintings provide a glimpse into the mundane activities of the past epoch and "serve as deeply encoded conversation pieces on the mores of the day".
The main characteristics of genre painting:
§ Genre paintings tell us about different people’s work and life conditions.
§ It is a story not about a particular person but about a typical, generalized character.
§ The subject matters of g.p. can be simple and complicated. Simple subject matters are deprived of developing action, inner conflict, the emotions are rather simple also. A complicated subject matter always combines a serious conflict, contradiction.
§ A painter depicts only one moment of life but we perceive it as a long lasting event, we imagine the previous and the next events.
§ Colouring in g.p. helps to expose the centre of the composition where the colours are much brighter and attract a viewer’s attention. Besides, colouring also has an influence on our thoughts, feelings, mood, provokes different associations.
The most important idea in g.p. is depicting the true of life.

In the XVI century there was tradition to create portraits with a skull, for concealment of the wall niche.
Still life completely took shape as an independent genre of painting in the works of Dutch and Flemish artists of the XVII century. Subjects in the painting often contain hidden allegory – or the transience of all earthly things and the inevitability of death.
