Antoine-Jean Gros

Napoleon at the Pesthouse at Jaffa

1804

Neoclassicism

The arches are reminiscent of the Oath of Horatii. People doctors, troops, and sick people in groups. People taken care of by Islamic doctors are in the darkness while people taken care of by those in enlightenment are in the light. Shows the deadeat over Islam. France powering over- French flag. Napoleon fearless with ego- touching wound, like Jesus healing wound. Nude bodies are neoclassical. Unlike neoclassical this is to promote government rather then go against it.

Francisco Goya

Third of May, 1808

1814-1815

 Romanticism
Painting was supposed to commemorate the victory of spain. Christ figure or martyr with stigmata marks show. Theres a cathedral in the background. The light shows life, salvation, the presence of Christ. Monk on the floor in same position as the man thats kneeling to show that they may all pray and die but nothing will change. The light is now being used to light the victims before their slaugther. Soldiers as one faceless unit to show the innocence of one man against a band that kills. Also the soldiers are seen as universal killers against all innocence.

Théodore Géricault

Raft of the Medusa

1818-1819

Romanticism

A french ship leaving a senebal colony was shipwrecked off shore. Hundreds of people were on a raft being pulled by a life boat. Raft was slowing them down so they cut it off. It turned to cannibalism and killing eachother. 15 were rescued but only 10 survived. The captain of the boat was someone who had not manned a boat in years and was approved by the government. This was an event from everyday life. Reminiscent of  Baroque- strong diagonals, emotion, busy and aggressive. Use of triangle and forshortening. Used imagery based on neo-classical style - the buff bodies. Wanted African to look like a hero and strongest. Wanted them all to look vital and strong to show that they survived. Kept them from being classical by leaving on pieces of clothing to keep them grounded in the period and for suffering to be seen.

Caspar David Freidrich

Abbey in the Oak Forest

1810

Romanticism

Painting talks about monks going to bury their brother but really its about the death of German culture and hopes. Gothic cathedral are a piece of German history and are important. Emblems of death- the seaons desolation, leaning crosses and tombstones, the black mourning that the grieving wear, the skeletal trees, the destruction that time has brought to the church.

Joseph Mallord William Turner

The Slave Ship (Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying, Typhoon Coming On)

1840

 Romanticism

Used color to evoke emotion (focuses on atmosphere) and drama 

(instead of form and objects). Its a seascape. A real event that actually took place. Slave ships were insured so if the slave didn't survive they would get the insurance money from them. People were thrown overboard if they looked like they were ready to die. The sky was to evoke a feeling of bloodshed. Bodies and hands could be made out. A quick brushstroke is used to make the water look turbulent.

Women placed in forground and rest of field and faraway village in thr background.
