This course examines European painting of the 19th-century, one of the most abundantly creative periods in all of art history. From grand historical paintings of Napoleon, to intimate Romantic visions, to remarkably fresh, dewy landscapes, to sublime views of industry and urban development, the art of this period rises to the height of both aesthetic achievement and cultural relevance. In addition, to presenting famous artists and works, the course draws forth central themes of the time, including the rise of individualism, industrialization, urbanization, the growing power of the market place, and the flourishing of middle class culture.
