propaganda as much as other painters have done. Two very famous paintings were produced by Goya that have had a lasting impact on society and gave us a good picture of how the French were treating the spanish. These paints are known as the May 2 1808 and May 3 1808. At this time Goya was still deaf, but could still see everything and translate it onto a canvas. The deafness never really bothered the man, but his other mental condition did and people can see through his paintings when he started to lose it. Again, like Beethoven, Goya was still able to create paintings and masterpieces through his deafness because the deafness never stopped him from seeing how people really were during the French Revolution.

The Third Symphony, probably Beethoven's most influential work, centers around a funeral march provoking patriotic ceremonies from the French Revolution. Beethoven was a long time admirer of Napoleon Bonaparte. So he dedicated the symphony to Napoleon, but when Napoleon was proclaimed the Emperor of France, he scratched the dedication to Napoleon. This Symphony is cited as the marking end of Beethoven's classical era and the beginning of musical Romanticism. But what of Beethoven after Napoleon? Beethoven's life and music became worse after the Third Symphony was composed because of his reaction to Napoleon becoming Emperor, his deafness, and through his personal and family difficulties.

  • Review Of Nocturnal Nightmares Jose De Goya

    1140 Words  | 3 Pages

    The astonishingly brilliant artist Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes has always been revered and adored for his incredible paintings of the Spanish Royal family, but not many know that he was also a masterful engraver. In the exhibit titled Renaissance to Goya: Prints and Drawings from Spain, many of the pieces displayed were based on social commentary of the period within the country. This disdain is particularly palpable in the etching by Goya titled The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters. The psychological and emotional state of Goya at the time is masterfully rendered and the presentation of the exhibit is absolutely remarkable due to its brilliant color scheme and expert presentation of the works.

  • Beethoven Feel The Music Essay

    600 Words  | 2 Pages

    Beethoven’s early life was one out of a sad story book. For being one of the most well-known musicians one would think that sometime during Beethovens childhood he was influenced and inspired to play music; This was not the case. His father was indeed a musician but he was more interested in drinking than he was playing music. When his father saw the smallest sliver of music interest in Beethoven he immediately put him into vigorous musical training in hopes he would be the next Mozart; his training included organ, viola, and piano. This tainted how young Beethoven saw music and the memories that music brought. Nevertheless Beethoven continued to do what he knew and by thirteen he was composing his own music and assisting his teacher, Christian Neefe. Connections began to form during this time with different aristocrats and families who stuck with him and became lifelong friends. At 17 Beethoven, with the help of his friends, traveled to Vienna, the music capitol of the world, to further his knowledge and connection...

  • Deaf Culture As A Subculture

    1530 Words  | 4 Pages

    The form of Resistive art generally aims to capture the injustice and suppression of Deaf people. An example of Resistive art is a piece titled “Sign Language Art”, created by the artist Kaleidoscope. This artwork shows two hands facing the opposite direction- one with a head protruding out of the left hand and an ear sticking out of the other. Though the hand with the face is shouting, the position of the ear is turned away from the face. While the shouting face represents Deaf individuals and the ear symbolizes the outer community, this picture is used to show the neglect and separation between the Hearing and Deaf community, as one strives to reach out to the other. On the other hand, Affirmative De’VIA uses more warm and light hearted elements in its art. It is used to project ideas like Deaf empowerment, acceptance and independence. Through De’VIA art, one notices that the stark difference between the Deaf and Hearing culture is not whether one can hear or not, but rather it is what each party chooses “hear” and respond to. After looking at this picture, I remember the constant blinking and blank looks on one student as he interacted with a Deaf student. I found it ironic that the Deaf student had more of the skill of “listening” to a conversation compared to the Hearing

  • The French Revolution & Art

    2050 Words  | 5 Pages

    The French Revolution, indeed, changed the structure of economics and social sphere of the old regime, and also the ideology of that time. In the years that followed the Revolution, the always increasing senses of both freedom and individuality were evident, not only in French society, but also in art. As stated by Dowd, “leaders of the French Revolution consciously employed all forms of art to mobilize public sentiment in favor of the New France and French nationalism.” In between all the artistic areas, the art of painting had a special emphasis. After the Revolution, the French art academies and also schools were now less hierarchical and there was, now, more freedom of engaging into new themes, not being the apprentices so tied up to their masters footsteps, not being so forced to follow them.

  • Pablo Picasso's Importance Of Art

    1500 Words  | 3 Pages

    Pablo Picasso was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, but it is not very well-known as to why this is. Many artists are encapsulated in history with no easy answer as to why the particular artist is worth remembering as a historical figure in the first place. Pablo Picasso, whose historical significance is often overlooked, is a prime example of this. Picasso rose to fame during a time of fascism and terror, but despite these setbacks was able to pursue art at a very young age, develop new techniques, and create pieces based off of the negative aspects of his time. The fact that Picasso had an artist for a parent, grew up in such a tense time, cultivated the idea of synthetic cubism, and dedicated his life to art perhaps
