Realism
The context is the evolution of Realism and the entire sentence is this:
"L’esigenza di manifestare un principio di verità nell’approccio più diretto al **dato naturale** si insinua in maniera forse meno esplicita, ma altrettanto penetrante e significativa, anche nei dipinti di storia o di soggetto religioso di artisti formatisi in ambito accademico"
Please don't worry about the rest of the sentence, I am clear about all of it, except the two words I have requested. Even there, I am pretty sure I understand what is meant, but I am at a loss as to now it can be expressed.
Many thanks for suggestions.

actual reality (in context)
"... of truth in the more direct approach to actual reality ..." This fits the context of the sentence and avoids probably unintended allusions to technical artistic and philosophical terms with more limited meanings.
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Thanks to everyone. I think Jim is closest to the mark. I'll be adding this and Simon Turner's private reply (objective reality) to the glossary. "

real life
Just a wild guess. It could be anything from the natural world, landscapes, the urban scene, humans posing as models...... so in the absence of more context I just picked something that might cover all those possibilties.

Another suggestion! I go low on cf. Try have a look at the visual arts section!

the natural given
... could be a solution. "The natural given", with "given" as a noun. The concept derives from existential philosophy. It can be applied to religion, philosophy, spiritualism, art, etc.
I include a link with a few good hits, mainly pdf-files. Sorry, some bad hits in between (natural, given...), but nonetheless, should give you an idea...
