Are you people simply illiterate? Photorealism means copying reality to the point where you can't tell the difference between it and a photo. Knowing anatomy or how to depict realistic looking humans are not examples of photorealism.
Almost nothing painted by the old masters is indistinguishable from reality. They all have their own styles. Or do you think the Mona Lisa looks like a photograph of a real person, or that people really looked like that in real life? Are you actually incapable of seeing da Vinci's unique style? I mean, you can draw or paint a human figure to look like a realistic person, while still having your own personal style applied to it. What the old masters depicted is something that can't be captured with a camera.

Take pic related. You think you can capture this with a camera? Does this look like a realistic situation to you, or a highly stylized and dramaticized depiction of the events in question, that can only look good in a painting?
