Courbet, Millet and Constable painted landscapes. They were realistics.
Delacroix and Goya painted political issues, like "Freedom guiding people" by Delacroix. They are romantic.
But if you take a bit of time to compare the images , it's going to be clearer.

Courbet, Millet and Constable were Realists. They painted the realistic and natural representation of people, places, and/or things in a work of art. They discarded the formulas of Neoclassicism and the theatrical drama of Romanticism to paint familiar scenes and events as they actually looked. Typically it involved some sort of sociopolitical or moral message, in the depiction of ugly or commonplace subjects.
Delacroix and Goya were Romantic artists. They emphasized the emotions painted in a bold, dramatic manner. Romantic artists rejected the cool reasoning of classicism -- the established art of the times -- to paint pictures of nature in its untamed state, or other exotic settings filled with dramatic action, often with an emphasis on the past. Classicism was nostalgic too, but Romantics were more emotional, usually melancholic, even melodramatically tragic.
