    BAROQUE ART+

    The Baroque art form emerged in Western Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth
    centuries when most of Europe's ruling families claimed to hold unlimited, or absolute, political
    power. Peter Paul Rubens, a painter from the Southern Netherlands rose to fame during this
    period as his works were dominated by curvilinear details and emotional content. In the 17th
    century, Italian artist Jacopo da Vinci painted a number of works depicting the aristocratic
    baroque style. Moreover, Doménikos Theotokópoulos, also known as El Greco (Spanish for
    "The Greek" ), was a Spanish Renaissance painter, sculptor, and architect. In his painting St.
    Jerome, the space seemed to be constrained with forms piling up on top of each other. El Greco
    utilizes color to distinguish between the earthly and the heavenly worlds.

    Diego Velasquez's self-portrait, "The Maids of Honor," shows the artist working on a large
    canvas. It was regarded as a dialogue between artist and viewer due to its mirror imagery and
    sketchy brushwork. On the other hand, the Landscape with the Burial of Phocion, Nicolas
    Poussin uses a concept from Plutarch's narrative of an ancient grave. Lastly, Rembrandt van
    Rijn is known for his genius in depicting human emotions and character. His self portraits show
    the evolution of his approaches from experimental in the early stages, to being theatrically
    disguised in the 1630's to franks through the end of his life.

    THE ENLIGHTENMENT

    With the advent of the Rococo, informality and delicacy replaced formality both in reality and in
    painting. Like the diminishing nobility it represented, it is primarily decorative and non-functional,
    but its intimate grace, charm, and delicate superficiality mirror the social ideals and manners of
    the time. Antoine Watteau was one of the original artists of the 18th century, he had an influence
    on the development of Rococo art in France and throughout Europe. The Swing, an oil painting
    by Jean-Honoré Fragonard who was considered as one of the most prolific artists, completed it
    between 1767 and 1768, in addition to his more than 550 paintings produced. He also
    distinguished the late Rococo manner of art by remarkable facilities, exuberance, and
    hedonism.

    Genre paintings are paintings in which the narrative told by the painter illustrates mundane
    scenes from day-to-day life. Key feature of genre-painting is that the scene is presented in a
    non-idealized way, in contrast to the traditional classical approach of infusing scenes with heroic
    or dramatic characteristics. Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin was an 18th century French painter
    considered one of the finest exponents of still life painting. Jacques-Louis David was known for
    having a propagandizing tone which helped him make paintings with strong, simple, and
    compositional unity. One of his notable paintings entitled, "The Death of Socrates" was
    produced in 1787 and was created based on the writings of Plato.
    ROMANTIC AGE

    Jean Auguste-Dominique Ingres pursued Michelangelo's ambition for physical and intellectual
    perfection. La Grande Odalisque, often known as Harem Girl, exemplifies both Neoclassicism
    and Romanticism. His portraits and nudes anticipate many of the most audacious formal
    experiments of 20-century Modernism. Francisco de Goya was one of Spain's greatest painters
    and an internationally influential printmaker. Meanwhile, Theodore Gericault a French artist who
    was considered one of the forefathers of the Romantic art movement.

    Francisco de Goya, a Spanish painter, was considered as one of Spain's greatest painters and
    an internationally influential printmaker. Katsushika Hokusai started painting at around the age
    of 6 and is best known for his series of paintings entitled "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji". His
    most famous work which was "The Great Wave off Kanazawa" was published sometime
    between 1829 and 1833 in the late Edo period.
