Study Notes
19th Century Art Movements
- Several key art movements emerged during the 19th century, each with distinct characteristics and aims.
- These movements included Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism.
Neoclassical Movement
- Originated in 18th-century Rome, drawing inspiration from classical art from Greece and Rome.
- Key characteristics: harmony, simplicity, linear forms, and accurate proportions.
- Famous artwork includes "The Death of Marat" by Jacques-Louis David (1793), a portrayal of a revolutionary leader.
- Another notable work is "Joan of Arc at the Coronation of Charles VII" by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1854).
- Neoclassical architecture also emerged, influenced by Greco-Roman culture. Features included symmetrical shapes, tall columns, triangular pediments, and sometimes, dome roofs.
- Key examples include the Russian Army Theatre (1929) and the US Capitol Building (1793-1829).
Romanticism Movement
- Emerged in 18th-century Europe as a reaction to the Industrial Revolution and rationalization of nature.
- Emphasized exaggerated emotion, free expression of the artist, and often depicted scenes of nature or historical events.
- Famous artworks include "Liberty Leading the People" by Eugène Delacroix (1830), commemorating the July Revolution.
- Another key work is "The Raft of the Medusa" by Theodore Géricault (1818-1819), portraying the aftermath of a shipwreck.
- "The Third of May, 1808," by Francisco Goya (1814) portrays the Spanish resistance to Napoleon.
Realism Movement
- Developed in France after the 1848 French Revolution, rejecting the emotionalism of Romanticism.
- Focused on portraying contemporary people and scenes in real-life situations.
- Used realistic depictions of working-class individuals and everyday life.
- Photography influenced the movement, leading to the desire to replicate realistic portrayals in art.
- Artists like Gustave Courbet are well-known for their realism. Examples include "A Burial at Ornans" and "The Meeting," both by Courbet.
- Further works include "Max Schmitt in a Single Scull" by Thomas Eakins (1871) and "The Fox Hunt" by Winslow Homer (1893).
Impressionism Movement
- Originated in Paris by a group of artists who sought to capture fleeting moments and impressions of light and color.
- Characterized by small, visible brushstrokes of pure color. They sought to portray an image as someone might see it at a glance, rather than in complete detail.
- Outdoor scenes were highly valued, emphasizing natural light and color.
- Some of the key figures included Renoir, Caillebotte, Manet, and Monet.
- "Impression, Sunrise" by Claude Monet (1872) is a prime example of the movement's key traits. Other relevant artwork includes "Bal du moulin de la Galette” by Pierre-Auguste Renoir(1876) and “Paris Street; Rainy Day” by Gustave Caillebotte (1877).
Post-Impressionism Movement
- Developed in France between 1886 and 1905, emerging from a reaction to the concern over natural light and color in Impressionism.
- It wasn't one specific style but a collection of varied independent styles of artists.
- Important artists included Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and Seurat.
- Van Gogh's "Starry Night" (1889) and "Sunflowers" (1888) are well-known examples.
- Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" (1884-1886) demonstrated the Pointillist technique. Gauguin's "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" (1897-1898) showcases a different perspective.
19th Century Architecture
- Most architecture in the 19th century wasn't tied to a specific movement, but styles were borrowed from earlier eras.
- Advances in science and technology influenced architecture. New materials (like cast iron, plate glass, rivets, steel, and reinforced concrete) were employed.
- Notable architectural examples included The Crystal Palace (1851), the Eiffel Tower (1887-1889), and the Brooklyn Bridge (1870-1883).
