It's better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. What's even better is to weaponize your words to destroy anyone who dares challenge you.

Art : well i know more than 4 artists for that but I'll sayArt:
Who started impressionism (name the four authors) ? And who was the theacher they had in common?
Literature:
the phrase 'Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise' from where comes? and who wrote it?
-Renoir
-Monet
-Pisarro
-Sisley
Litterature : This sentence has been written by Thomas Grey and it comes from one of his poems : "Ode on a distant prospect of Eton College"
so.
Answer cannot be accepted because it's partial. the name... i can accept them, but the 4 ( Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Frederic Bazille ) were all students of Marc Gleyre (this was the thing you missed to say 'Their teacher in common'.
and about literature, The 'Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise' was written by Shakespeare.
sorry

Did my best to find a source saying shakespeare wrote that line and the only thing I could find was a book published in 1860, so more than 100 years after Gray wrote it and it was NOT saying that Shakespeare was its creator. Other 9/10 websites were saying Gray did.Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise
So are you sure about that ?

The complete answer:
Roman art in the Republican period has been preserved primarily through statuary and painting; most of the architecture was wooden until the marble temples of the Augustan period. Roman statues were focused on the ancestors, and practiced a type of realism rarely seen even in Greek art; rather than carve Roman statues to look like actual people as the Greeks did, statues were carved to look like "specific" Romans. The term for this kind of realism is called "verism", and the term refers to how Roman statues were true-to-life of the person the statue was made of. In order to accomplish this, the lost-wax method was usually used, and as the lost-wax method could only be performed on dead people most of the statues of the Republican period are of aging older males.
When it comes to painting, the Romans preferred murals; most often these murals were landscapes depicting the countryside outside the building, but they also might feature still life paintings, such as clusters of grapes sitting next to pitchers of water. The landscapes were painted in such a way as to invoke "tromp l'oeil", a trick of the eyes that was intended to make small Roman homes feel larger by using floor-to-ceiling murals that featured depth.
What I was expecting:
- Verism
Guess you're right saying it was vague. I let the choiche to say it's correct or not to jesters.
The second answer is correct. is in japan.
