Ch 23- Art in the Age of the Enlightenment Rise of enlightenment, emerge mid-eighteenth Century ushered in the __________ era Transition period from old to Modern, from rule by aristocracy in church to democracy, from privilege to meritocracy, from agriculture to Industry, from rural to urban life, and from Superstition and myth to logic Art was often changing and complex, several almost contradictory attitudes existing in a single work. > Associated with this period is _____________________, meaning new classicism, Illustrated what were considered ____________ actions and deeds of the ancient Greeks and Romans. > Numerous attitudes and styles coexisted in neoclassicism Neo-classicism based on ________ and __________ of Enlightenment, which were perhaps best expressed by the ______________ Voltaire. Voltaire plays, poems, novels, and tracts, used logic to attacked what he called " persecuting in privilege Orthodoxy" such as church and state or any illogical institution or concept fair game for his satire Believe science would Advanced civilization and that logic presumed a government that benefited the people, not just aristocracy (he modeled his new civilizations after republics of ancient Greek and Rome) Neo-classicism took its vocabulary from ancient art, as well as from classically inspired Renaissance and great 17th century classical French painter Nicolas Poussin Second thread appeared in art, _____________, which was flip side of the Enlightenment coin since it was equally preoccupied with morality and individual freedom. > came to age an 1800, when the term was invented in order to describe the sweeping change in worldview then occurring. Originally dated two mid-century Instead of neo-classicism logic and its desire to control the forces of nature through science, Romanticism valued ___________ and institution and belief in the supremacy of law, on restricted nature. Example: Jean-Jacques Rousseau Discourse on the Arts and Sciences- advocated a return to ___________, arguing that humans are born good, not in sin, and that they use innate senses or instincts to distinguish between good and bad, that is, between what makes them happy and what makes them sad. Feeling that determines their choices, not rational thought, which used to explain choices, not to make them. Society believe through its mores, values, and conventions, eventually imposes its own rational standard in humans, distracting them from praise what they call sincere "noble savage," steeped in nature, and he denounced contemporary civilization for its pretensions, artificiality, and those social restraints that prevent us from tapping into the power of our basic virtuous emotions. Romantic emotionalism may seem antithetical to Enlightenment logic, it nonetheless similarly Champion the individual and freedom and relied on empiricism and observation to arrive to a conclusion thoroughly rejecting religious beliefs, mythology, hearsay, Superstition comment all thinking and values based merely on tradition Rational and emotional survived side by side and art and sometimes elements of each appeared within the same work, through usually not the same proportions. Proportions of the attitudes and aggressively rejected Rococo art. 1780s the painting of Jacques-Louis David and the sculpture of Antonio Canova did Neoclassicism style reach full flower New classicism would appear in many guises, sometime containing elements of Rococo elegant, a reminder that the Rococo was still persistent deep into the century. Romantic fascination with strong emotions, with the irritation and inexplicable, and powerful force of nature was developing which ironically would overshadow neo-classicism by 1792, decade following David's rise and the French Revolution of 1789 England and France dominated or second half of century and focus of neoclassicism, like the enlightenment, was an International movement well respected in Scandinavia, Austria, Germany, and Russia

During turmoil the French Revolution, David was able to secure a pass for Gros to go to Rome although by the time he arrived the city was close to the antipapist French. Through circumstance, Napoleon in Milan, traveled with his army and impress the general with his art. Napoleon charged him with painting his battles and glorifying his campaign. > Bonaparte who is brilliant at propaganda as he was a military strategy, carefully control his Public Image and relied heavily on art to reinforce his political position. Make sure his compositions were shown at the salon where they would be seen by everyone and reported in the Press Napoleonic era was a catalyst for French romanticsim.

Our eyes goes to circle of dead, dying, and sick surrounding him which includes Michelangelesque figures in foreground Shadows and resurrected nudes next to him. Male nude is no longer heroic, as in David, but helpless and disturbing Napoleon's courageous act had a vie for a viewer's attention with dark mood of physiological and physical suffering and exoticism to Western eye, of the Arab attendance and Islamic architecture. Monumental arches must pay commission all homage to David both of the horatii, but instead of supporting narrative neoclassical stoicism and Clarity they contribute to a ___________, romantic ___________ and foreboding of horrifying uncertainty Plantrity Monumental painting became propaganda and contemporary subject shows Napoleon sympathizing and touching the victim's, give him god-like immunity Everyone is withering away light is on the side with Napoleon, civilized nature Compressed in the foreground Centrally placed subject, Muslim architecture, King's touch, power of healing
