         <description><![CDATA[<div>Some of the artists of this movement were James Abbott, Dante Rossetti, Walter Peter, and Oscar Wilde. The Peacock Room is an example of aesthetic art as it is beautiful through its intricate designs. Walter Peter reflects aesthetic values through his writing about the Renaissance. He was the one who popularized the phrase "art for art's sake." Peter valued an intense inner life.&nbsp;<br><br>Painters like Moore, Whistler, and Leighton could concentrate entirely on creating exquisite compositions satisfying the senses. Because oil paints allow for subtle tonal changes, Aesthetic painters could use the medium to study color harmonies and tonal variety. Many artists, especially Whistler, also included Japanese motifs and aesthetics<br><br>https://www.theartstory.org/movement/aesthetic-art/</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Aesthetic Movement took place in the late 19th century and involved a group of talented artists and writers known as the Aesthetes. The main idea of the movement was to create art to be beautiful, not to explain. These ideals ran opposite to the mainstream Victorian culture, as Victorians believed art should serve ethical purposes. Aesthetic art, fashion, and writing were less restrictive as they did not need to serve a purpose. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Victorians valued appearances above all else. They had to dress nicely as well as act appropriately. Cursing was extremely taboo, and anything that could allude to something sexual was repressed. For example, the term "dark and white meat" when referring to parts of a chicken came during this time because using the words "breast or legs" was taboo. Candle snuffers were invented, so women didn't have to be seen pursing their lips which at the time was seen as sexual. The Victorian upper class paid so much attention to themselves that they didn't care about anything else happening in the lower class such as famine, disease, child labor, prostitution, etc. It all had to do with appearances.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Child labor was abolished during this era, but teenage prostitution was very common. The working class slowly got reform during the era through the passing of three reform bills. Work conditions were dangerous in factories for many workers. Leisure was one of the biggest changes during this era; blood sports were banned, and crowd sports such as cycling, horse racing, and rowing became popular. The wealthier would take vacations as a form of leisure. Football emerged as a national sport. Circuses became popular for people of all economic backgrounds. The upper class was small but powerful. Lords were a house of Parliament and heavily influenced bills that were passed. <br><a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/past-pleasures/">https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/past-pleasures/</a></div>]]></description>

Men were belonging to the public sphere while women belonged to the private home-life sphere. The perfect family during the time was in the image of Queen Victoria's family. Victorians were perfectionists and anything considered "out of line" in social conduct was healiy looked down upon and caused people to shunned. Women were considered to be naturally more religious and morally finer than men (who were distracted by sexual passions by which women supposedly were untroubled).&nbsp; Men were meant to participate in politics and in paid work. <br><a href="https://www.britannica.com/event/Victorian-era">https://www.britannica.com/event/Victorian-era</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The gentleman has gone through various historical changes leading up to the modern definition we see today. Pre-Victorian era: medieval gentlemen upheld a code of ethics and were seen as "chavalrous, "the renaissance thought of the gentlemen as someone who embodies a good work ethic and was self made. Victorian era gentlemen combined the above with a strong emphasis of Christianity and male strength. With the rise of homosexuality, prostitution, and crime in gentlemen in the late 19th c, their reputation overall was tarnished. This, along with the overall lesser emphasis on manners and codes of conduct after the Victorian era lessened standards for the gentlemen.<br>https://vaventura.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/gentleman2.pdf</div>]]></description>
