Description:

This course provides students with an in-depth study of various genres such as portraiture, landscape and narrative painting. It involves an examination of how artists were affected and influenced by industrialization and technological developments which transformed the social, political and economic conditions of 19th Century Britain. The course takes account of British historical and literary influences as well as parallel developments on the Continent. In architecture, it traces the introduction of classical principles and the revival of the Gothic style in the context of public and domestic architecture.

Topics for consideration are chosen from this list: Romanticism, Constable, Turner, Neo-Classicism, the Gothic Revival, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Victorian Narrative Painting, William Morris, the Arts and Crafts Movement, the Aesthetic Movement, Symbolism, Impressionism in Britain, the Camden Town Group, the Vorticist Movement, the Bloomsbury Group.
