In Europe the social and political upheavals of the 19th century gave birth to major innovations in the arts. Especially in France, artists gradually moved away from time-honored classical ideals in order to depict concrete contemporary reality. The crucial changes they introduced in subject matter and technique revolutionized the very nature of what constitutes a work of art and laid the foundations for the development of modern art. This course examines how the politics, literature and philosophy of the period affected the subject matter and techniques of the painters under review. Full advantage is taken of the rich public art collections in London and of any current exhibitions which may be relevant to the course. Topics are chosen from: Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Neo-Classicism, Symbolism, the Court at Versailles, the French Revolution of 1789, the Country and the City in the Nineteenth Century, Photography, Depictions of Women.
