Answer:

Paintings depicting scenes of everyday life are known as genre paintings.

Explanation:

Genre paintings depict ordinary people performing common, everyday activities. Such paintings often show domestic settings, interiors, inn scenes, markets, street scenes, and similar. Genre painting was especially popular among painters from northern Europe.

Trompe l'oeil is a style of painting in which objects are depicted realistically and seem three-dimensional.

Still-life paintings depict inanimate objects.

History paintings depict a moment in a narrative story. Scenes shown in these paintings are scenes from history, religion, and mythology.

Vanitas is a genre of still-life painting emphasizing the inevitability of death and transience of life and pleasure.
