• Romantic art looked to capture the beauty and power of nature. Bold brush strokes and colors.

Romanticism

"Romanticism is precisely situated neither in choice of subject nor in exact truth, but in a way of feeling."

Page 11: Artwork From 1750 To 1850

Realism

The Realist movement in French art flourished from about 1840 until the late nineteenth century, and sought to convey a truthful and objective vision of contemporary life.

• Realism sets as a goal not imitating past artistic achievements but the truthful and accurate depiction of the models that nature and contemporary life offer to the artist.

Page 13: Artwork From 1750 To 1850

• Realists attempted to portray the lives, appearances, problems, customs, and mores of the middle and lower classes, of the unexceptional, the ordinary, the humble, and the unadorned.

The End of Impressionism…

• Its many facets and varied participants make the Impressionist movement difficult to define.

• Indeed, its life seems as fleeting as the light effects it sought to capture.

• Even so, Impressionism was a movement of enduring consequence, as its embrace of modernity made it the springboard for later avant-garde art in Europe.

Post Impressionism• A group of young painters sought independent

artistic styles for expressing emotions rather than simply optical impressions, concentrating on themes of deeper symbolism.
