Presentation Transcript

  1. Everything There Is To Know About Art In One Class Period!

  2. Renaissance (1300-1600) • Revival of interest in Classical art • Perspective, three-dimensional sculpture • Reflects rise of humanism and importance of patrons

  3. Rafael – “School Of Athens”

  4. Michelangelo – “Creation Of Adam” (Sistine Chapel)

  5. Mannerism (1520-1600) • Either the end of the Renaissance or the beginning of Baroque • Should artists follow the “manner” of what came before or try new things? • Exaggerates or fantasizes the human form

  6. Parmigianino – “Madonna with the Long Neck” (1534) Note the elongated proportions, stylized poses and lack of clear perspective.

  7. Baroque (1600-1750) • Art characterized by ornamentation and curves, not straight lines • Drama, rich color, bright light, dark shadows • Art serves the Counter-Reformation and Absolutism • Art centralized to serve the state as center of art moves from Rome to Paris

  8. Bernini – “Ecstasy of Saint Theresa” (1647)

  9. Rembrandt – “The Night Watch” (1642)

  10. Versailles (1682)

  11. Rococo (Baroque Gone Wild!) (1720-1789) • Art is lighter and less formal reaction against Baroque • Often portrays a fantasy world

  12. Fragonard – “The Swing” (1767)

  13. Sanssouci (1745) (Frederick The Great’s Summer Palace)

  14. Neoclassicism (1770-1820) • Looks to Greece and Rome for inspiration • Strips away Rococo frivolity and Baroque ornament (but what goes in its place?)

  15. David – Oath of the Horatii (1784)

  16. David – Coronation Of Napoleon (1808)

  17. Romanticism (1800-1850) • Glorification of nature, patriotism and the Medieval past • Emphasize feeling not reason • Often linked with nationalism

  18. Delacroix – Liberty Leading The People (1830)

  19. Friedrich – “Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog” (1818)

  20. Realism (1850-1880) • Grittier and with more attention to social problems and context • Portrays real peasants, workers and events • Based on fact not emotion, goes with Realpolitik

  21. Millet – “The Gleaners” (1857)

  22. Courbet – “The Stonebreakers” (1849)

  23. Impressionism (1870-1905) • Focus on accurate depiction of light and inclusion of movement or change over time • Ordinary subject matter including life of the middle class • Partly an attempt to capture impressions that photography could not

  24. Monet – “The Cliff at Etretat” (1885)

  25. Caillebotte – “Paris Street, Rainy Day” (1877)

  26. Modern (20th Century) • Art influenced by Freud, Einstein and Age of Anxiety • Too fractured to make general statements
