Description

In response to peers' posts, choose a Realist work from this week's module that also depicts Revolution/war (or anything related to it). Compare how the formal qualities in this work convey a different mood/tone than in your peers' Romantic work. Consider the following questions: Are you able to connect with the figures in one work more than in the other (e.g. through eye contact, proximity to viewer, etc.)? Do you feel more strongly about one than the other (angry/sad/shocked/hopeful/hopeless)? The idea here is to start a discussion about the various ways that Revolution/war is portrayed in Romantic and Realist art respectively through formal qualities.

Response 1 Darryl I have chosen the painting The Third Of May 1808 by Francisco de Goya. The original painting is in Madrid, Spain at the Prado Museum. The painting has a prequel companion piece, The Second of May 1808. It depicts the actual day of revolt known as Dos de Mayo Uprising. While this showed Spanish civilians in a moment of victory. The Third of May 1808 depicted Napoleon's soldiers slaughtering hundreds of Spaniards in one cruel, dark night. The man in the center with his hands in the air in a pose similar to Jesus hands hanging from the cross. The man's right hand has a wound just like Jesus, reminiscent of stigmata. The radiant lantern is at an angle used as a tool that allowed French soldiers to conduct their bloody massacre before sunrise. The blood, the men weeping for their lives, the men in line soon to be shot and the man with out stretch hands present battle to be horrible and dark. Also the French soldiers faces are turned away so the the viewers can not connect with them. This painting depicts sadness, darkness and eeriness. This massacre was wrong These Spaniard men were only standing up for their city and country like any other men will do to protect their own country. Response 2 Janet glover Théodore Gericault’s An Officer of the Imperial Horse Guards Charging is an oil on canvas that depicts emotion which is very common for a romantic painting. Géricault was born 1791– died 1824 and his paintings were part of a movement that romanticized heroism, suffering, and savagery. This oil on canvas represents a Napoleonic cavalry officer in the mist of battle that seems to be preparing to confront his enemy. Gericault creates movement by highlighting the focal point of the piece, which are the officer and the horse. As the officer pulls on the reins, the horse rears back and his sword is about to be poised for battle. The background shows loose brush strokes and the color palette is warm and effective. The dramatic elements such as stark contrasts of both light and shadows, add drama and emotion to everything that is occurring throughout the scenery.

Realism is recognized as the first modern movement in art. Realists highly criticized
Romanticism which had dominated French literature and art. Realism stood up against the exotic
subject matter and exaggerated emotionalism of the Romantic Movement. Realism came up with
a new concept of the artist as self-publicist. Gustave Courbet used the media to enhance his
celebrity in a manner that continues among artists to this day (Gregory and Stephen, 2016).
Courbet emerged and contributed towards art through the young Realist movement by using a
Burial at Ornans which depicted a simple rural funeral service in the town of his birth. The burial
at Ornans canvas is situated at the Musee d'Orsay and it is a perfect art because it buries the
viewer as if he or she were in a cave. This art is a major example of realism because the painting
shows the facts of a real b...
