From its roots in the Enlightenment and French Revolution to its radical conclusion in the paintings of the Post-Impressionists, 19th- century art constantly challenged the status quo. This course will examine the innovations of the major artists and movements that led to the clash between an authoritative classicism and a refractory romanticism, the birth of landscape painting, the emergence of a subversive avant-garde, and the development of a radical new painting that became the foundation of modern art. The focus will be on how artists as diverse as David, Goya, Turner, Daumier, Courbet, Monet, Cezanne, van Gogh, and Munch developed new visions in response to the century's political, social, and technological upheaval, including the rise of Napoleon, urbanization and the modernization of Paris, empirical scientific discoveries, the challenge to bourgeois values, and the exploration of the human psyche by Sigmund Freud. Emphasis is on the mainstream historical movements in art history, including Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism. (Cr. 3)
