Realism or Impressionism nowadays?

Hi Allan
I saw Velasquez's jewel in a painting of his, that was exactly painted just the some way Sargent does.You can't recognise it unless you stay in a distance. If a realistic painter should paint it from a photo,wouldn't get the some result. When an eye looks at an object,it can't see the drawing as from a nearby photo, but only light and shadows transformed into colours.
