The Romantics tried to balance the use of reason by stressing the importance of intuition, feeling, emotion, and imagination as sources of knowing. The Romantics also stressed individualism, an interest in the unique traits of each person. This led to a rebellion against middle class norms, which in turn led to the development of the hero and a revival of medieval Gothic architecture and literature. Thomas Carlyle, a British author,  stressed that history was largely determined by the actions of heroes. An example of Gothic literature can be found in the work of Edgar Allen Poe and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. However, poetry ranked above all other literary forms because they believed it was the direct expression of one's soul. Examples of Romantic poets were Percy Bysshe Shelley, who wrote Prometheus Unbound,  and Lord Byron, who wrote Childe Harold's Pilgrimage. In addition, Romantics emphasized the importance of nature, and followed pantheism, where they identified the great force in nature with God. This led to a critique of mechanic materialism of the eighteenth century, which had reduced nature to a cold object of study. In visual art, Romantics shared two fundamental characteristics. One was the belief that art should mirror the artist's impression of the world, and the other was an abandonment of the classical restraint for warmth, emotion, and movement. The German painter Caspar David Friedrich painted landscapes that conveyed mysticism and transcended literal observations. The English painter Joseph Malford William Turner attempted to instead convey the moods of nature using light and color, anticipating the impressionist movement. French painter Eugène Delacroix was known for his exotic paintings, with a significant use of color and light. In music, both Beethoven and Chopin were significant composers. They both aroused intense emotion through their numerous symphonies and nocturnes.]]> 2019-02-04 19:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/797965/tod8z88flbma/wish/327491612 https://padlet.com/797965/tod8z88flbma/wish/327491683 Realism, an art movement that was developed after 1850, was the belief that the world should be viewed realistically, and was closely related to the materialistic outlook of the century. The literary Realists rejected Romanticism, and wanted to portray realistic characters instead of Romantic heroes, with accurate descriptions rather than flowery language. This led to a decreased interest in poetry and a combination of everyday life with the examination of social questions in novels and prose. French author Gustave Flaubert perfected the Realist novel with his Madame Bovary, a straightforward description of a small French town. William Thackeray and Charles Dickens focused on reality and the life of the working classes during the Industrial Age in Britain. Realist art stressed the depiction of the everyday life of ordinary people. Gustave Courbet portrayed factory workers, peasants, and the wives of saloon keepers, such as in his The Stonebreakers, which showed the misery of road builders, with browns and grays to convey the drudgery. Jean-François Millet was preoccupied with scenes from rural life, although his art still contained aspects of Romantic sentimentality. For example, in his The Gleaners, he depicts three peasant women gathering grain in a field to show the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. In music, artists used new methods of using music to express literary or pictorial ideas. Two renown artists from this times are Liszt, and Wagner, the former of which invented the term symphonic poem, to refer to his orchestral works that were based on literary or pictorial ideas. Wagner transformed opera with his concept of Gesamtkunstwerk, or "total art work".]]> 2019-02-04 19:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/797965/tod8z88flbma/wish/327491683 797965 https://padlet.com/797965/tod8z88flbma/wish/327596904   (Exit)   (Acknowledgements)   (Entrance)

Renaissance art is the painting, sculpture and decorative arts of the period of European history, emerging as a distinct style in Italy in about the 13th century. The advancements in art evolved, in parallel to developments in philosophy, literature, music, and science. Renaissance art took as its foundation the art of Classical works of the Greeks and the Romans. Renaissance art, with Renaissance Humanist philosophy, spread throughout Europe, affecting both artists and patrons with the development of new techniques and objectives. Renaissance art marks the transition of Europe from the medieval period to the Early Modern age.

It included a changing in the traditional techniques and purposes of making art and was used for individual expression. Instead of portraying a precise image of a subject, it focused on expressing emotions. It made the viewer feel emotions while looking at it. A new branch of modern art was abstract art, a concept that art should speak directly to the soul and avoids visual reality. It focused on colors.
