Art during the Renaissance related to humanism. Renaissance art was a huge break from Medieval art’s lack of realism. Artists tried to portray humanistic forms and natures while also painting in order to portray a 3-D effect. Lines and edges in art were stressed, and some forms of art had many prominent figures of ancient times, the bible, or classical mythology.
-
The art of the Renaissance greatly reflected the society of the day. Before the Renaissance, art was focused primarily on religious forms. During the Renaissance, society changed. People started to care more about secular life on earth, and began to value humans and their intellect. This is reflected in art praising the great minds of the time as well as the ancient history and mythology shown.

Baroque painter
-
Baroque art was more imaginative, colorful, and rich in texture or decoration. Emotion was portrayed in this art through scenes of mystery, drama, violence or religion. The contrast between shadows and light could be seen in Baroque art.
-
The Baroque art reflected the society at the time of the counter-reformation. The art's dramatic color and light, as well as its portrayal of emotion and darkness, shows confusion and the dissent in society during the counter-reformation, when society as a whole seemed to be in havoc.

The art in the style of Rococo was generally more elegant, portraying scenes of fantasy worlds and imaginative ideals. It valued sweetness, and the art usually was pretty light. It incorporated floral subjects, aristocracy, and greatly prevailed in France.
-
The Rococo art showing high aristocracy reflects the time period. In France, the aristocracy had an enormous amount of power during this time. Elegance was everywhere, and Rococo art really reflects that in the subject matter.

Neoclassic painter
-
Fragonard (personal favorite)
-
This art form looked towards the classical antiquity for inspiration. Subjects of ancient Greece and Rome showed itself in these arts, and Neoclassicism was restrained from emotion and appealed to the intellect.
-
Ideals of the enlightenment and humanistic ideals concerning intellect and the desire for education is reflected in neoclassicism art, which includes aspects of the ancient times and revels the intelligence of the age
-
A great leader of Romantic literature, especially in poetry.

Romanticism (personal favorite)
-
Realist artist. (wow look at that facial hair)
-
Romanticism art form glorified nature, had subjects from the medieval times, and portrayed a strong sense of emotion. It stressed light, color, and self-expression. Elements of exoticism and mystery in this art emphasized feeling, and it rebelled from the Neoclassicism era. (This is probably my favorite art time period).
-
Romanticism emerged after the industrial revolution. People were beginning to feel resentment towards science and enlightenment ideals. This can be seen in Romanticism's glorification of the Middle ages and emotional aspect of the art.

A short story by Edgar Allen Poe - Romanticism. It's about a man who seeks revenge on another for a small insult by locking him in a dungeon forever. Truly one of the most interesting short stories i've read. Poe does a fantastic job with portraying the insane.

By Courbet - Realism
-
Realism art tended to focus on social issues of the time. Its subjects were based off of real people, especially peasants or workers of the time. The subjects were not mean to appeal to emotion but to gain notice of the social issues of the time period.
-
Realists wanted to portray the daily lives of the common people. They sought to call attention to the problems in society during that time period by showing the hardships of people through art.

Millet-Realism
-
Impressionist artwork used short, choppy brush-strokes and incorporated a lack of exactness. It had bright colors and attempted to portray the fleeting world as well as change over time. Many scenes were focused outside and were bathed in light.
-
Impressionism refected society's advance in industrialization through the new art products that lead to better colors. Impressionists used different colors than the periods before and completed art with emotion. Artists felt compelled to create art that tied with emotion and that imaginative ideals from the new science and theories of society and psychology.

Cubism tended to use objects and re-assemble them in some sort of strange, abstract form. It used planes, geometry, angles, and different mosaics. It showed art as interactions between objects and included a multi-faceted point of view of different art forms.
-
During the 20th century, Cubism emerged as an art form that reflected society through its visual interpretation of the universe in geometric and flattened concepts, along with warped and shapes in off juxtaposition. During these times, many aspects of society at the time gave artists a medium for reflecting the enormous amounts of innovation, confusion, and radicalism in the relationships between countries and the emergence of new technology and ideals.
