Introduction
Eugéne Delacroix was a Romantic artist from France. The main reason I picked Eugéne Delacroix was because I am interested in the Romantic and Impressionist movements of art. He was a heavily influential figure in the French Romantic school. Eugéne’s choice of color and his unique use of brushstrokes had an impact on the Impressionist movement that was to come. Delacroix himself was influenced by the Renaissance painters. The paintings of this era shaped the way Delacroix made conducted his art. Eugene was one of the most renowned French Romantic artists of all time.
Biography Ferdinand Victor Eugéne Delacroix was born to his parents, Charles-Francois and Victoire Oeben in a town near Paris, France. There is some speculation that Charles-Francois is not Eugéne’s biological father, but that Talleyrand is Eugéne’s father. Talleyrand, served as a mentor and helper throughout Eugéne’s career. When Eugéne was only 16 years old, he survived both of his parents and became an orphan. In his early years, Delacroix’s education began at Lycée Pierre Corneille where he would win awards for his works of art. His neoclassical style training began in 1815 with Pierre-Narcisse Guérin. Eugéne’s first works sparked an early foundation to Romanticism. The Barque of Dante was one of his first paintings to gain

His unique works of art shaped the way many artists after his time conducted themselves. He is a world renowned romantic artist and a profound figure of the French romantic movement. People who have witnessed his works of art have nothing but great things to say about him and his work. With over 9,000 pieces of art, his work ethic is also something people praised. They said he was passionate about having passion, and it showed through the work he produced. People still admire his work today, even hundreds of years after his death. The appraisal he gets for his work should speak for itself, and it
... previous jobs to convey a welcoming and educational message in his work. He makes his art clear, educational, and unconventional to express his individuality and help children in their development. Had it not been for his first couple of jobs, the teacher that showed him the banned painting, and his love for children he probably would not be the memorable artist that he is today.
Delacroix was a French Romantic artist, using expressive brushstrokes and optical effects of color to make his artwork known, yet many times Greek influence was seen in his artworks. He believed that true classical models of Greek theme could be found in
Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) was considered one of the greatest romantic painters of France. The themes in his painting and the way he colored them had a new touch compared to the earlier classicists in the 18th century. He painted "Liberty Leading the People" in his early thirties, and he did not refer to mythical figures of liberty from ancient Greek history, but took in regard the French Revolution (1798) to mythicize the force of liberty and the government's responsibility to serve people's well-being. The painting depicts a heroic female figure, which is mythicized as the force of liberty and the government's responsibility to serve people's well-being. Liberty is in the cen¬ter of the painting, with the flag of freedom in her hand, and all citizens are uniting for a truly representative government serving for the all people of France. This painting symbolizes the common cause people have to overthrow dictatorship, and also depicts the act of the French people that barricaded Parisian streets for a revolution of their corrupt government.
When Delacroix was at the age of seventeen, in 1815, he began to take painting lessons from Pierre Guerin. While there he met Theodore Gericault, a romantic painter, and became heavily influenced by him and his work.
In this essay, I shall try to examine how great a role colour played in the evolution of Impressionism. Impressionism in itself can be seen as a linkage in a long chain of procedures, which led the art to the point it is today. In order to do so, colour in Impressionism needs to be placed within an art-historical context for us to see more clearly the role it has played in the evolution of modern painting. In the late eighteenth century, for example, ancient Greek and Roman examples provided the classical sources in art. At the same time, there was a revolt against the formalism of Neo-Classicism. The accepted style was characterised by appeal to reason and intellect, with a demand for a well-disciplined order and restraint in the work. The decisive Romantic movement emphasized the individual’s right in self-expression, in which imagination and emotion were given free reign and stressed colour rather than line; colour can be seen as the expression for emotion, whereas line is the expression of rationality. Their style was painterly rather than linear; colour offered a freedom that line denied. Among the Romanticists who had a strong influence on Impressionism were Joseph Mallord William Turner and Eugéne Delacroix. In Turner’s works, colour took precedence over the realistic portrayal of form; Delacroix led the way for the Impressionists to use unmixed hues. The transition between Romanticism and Impressionism was provided by a small group of artists who lived and worked at the village of Barbizon. Their naturalistic style was based entirely on their observation and painting of nature in the open air. In their natural landscape subjects, they paid careful attention to the colourful expression of light and atmosphere. For them, colour was as important as composition, and this visual approach, with its appeal to emotion, gradually displaced the more studied and forma, with its appeal to reason.
Pablo Picasso is probably one of the most influential individuals in the art world to date, without some of his work; art today would have a completely different face. The passion he ingrained onto the canvas and in his artwork had the power to invoke emotions from audiences around the world. Picasso was responsible for artwork like “Guernica”, “The old guitarist”, “The blue room Picasso”, and my personal favorite “portrait of daniel-henry kahnweiler”, these are only a few examples but the list goes on.
Rubens personified one of the most creative, skilled, and successful western artists, and his almost measureless resourcefulness of design enabled him to become a master of the finest studio establishment in Europe. As one French Romantic Artist describes Peter Paul Rubens as one who “carries one beyond the limit scarcely attained by the most eminent painters; he dominates one, he overpowers one, with all his liberty and boldness.”
Despite all the points of disagreement between neoclassical and romantic, there is a painter who all admire and imitate a great among greats whose works were ahead of their time and serve as timeless icons and whose art inspired many later styles, this course genius is none other than Francisco De Goya considered as a precursor of modern art, implemented colorful and full of light composition. In 1819, the Paris Salon in the middle of good care and exquisite neoclassical works that come together in this exhibition presents Gericault The Raft of the Medusa, which shines, both in substance and in form, a new style excited and trembling that uses color as the main pictorial element. A new furor, a spiritual fire that is folded down and the balance is noted above. Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) is the patriarch of romanticism.

Thesis: The French Revolution transformed not only the French society, but also had a huge influence and marked impact on what the purposes of the arts and their expression were now, making profound changes in what they would supposed to be used for, in the form of the Neoclassic works of art that made their appearance prior to the French Revolution, in which very special emphasis is given to the patriotic, the nationalist feeling, together with a strong sense of self-sacrifice that should be present in every person’s heart.
Pablo Picasso is one of the most recognized and popular artists of all time. In Pablo’s paintings and other works of art, he would paint what he was passionate about and you can see his emotions take control throughout his paintings and other works of art. Pablo Picasso works of art include not only paintings but also prints, bronze sculptures, drawings, and ceramics. Picasso was one of the inventors of cubism. ” Les Demoiselles d'Avignon” is one of Picasso famous paintings; this is also one of Pablo’s first pieces of cubism.
The music he produced had a lot of control with a lot of flair. He liked improvisation, but did not leave that up to the performer. Instead, he wrote very virtuosic passages for his pieces, with which the performer did not have much room for imaginative playing. Then there is his knowledge on how to writ...
Ferdinand Victor Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) was a French romantic artiste viewed from the birth of his profession as the principal of the French romantic school. Delacroix took for his muse the art of Rubens and artist of the Venetian Renaissance, through an associated attention on shade and motion rather than precision of the sketches and cautiously replica format. Delacroix was particular to neither over-romanticizing or to pretentiousness; furthermore his Romanticism was that of a nonconformist (Kadivar, 2010). ...
At age 13 Le Corbusier had finished and left grade school to move on to attend Arts Decoratifs in his home city of La Chaux-de-Fonds. Here a young Le would learn the art of facing watches, just like his father, through enameling and engraving. While attending Arts Decoratifs Le Corbusier was under the influence of his teacher L’ Eplattenier who he would later refer to as his “Master” and only teacher. Under L’ Eplattenier’s instruction a young Le Corbusier would learn the history of art, drawing and the naturalistic attributes of newly developed art. With his in depth teachings of art Le Corbusier soon abandoned his previous career of watch making and further continued his education in decoration and art intending to eventually...
He brought Poe’s to France, he inspired not just poets but painters as well. Seemed to predict the impressionist style a decade before the actual emergence of it in his “Salon de 1859” and “Le Peintre de la vie moderne” (“The Painter of Modern Life”) (“Charles,” Encyclopedia). His foresight when writing on art was tremendous. The work of Baudelaire is a link between romanticism and modernism through both his life and his work. He was a catalyst for the work of Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, Stéphane Mallarmé, and Algernon Charles Swinburne in the 19th century, and for Paul Valéry, Rainer Maria Rilke, and T. S. Eliot in the 20th century. He was pivotal in European literature and thought, from the Encyclopedia Britannica information this caused a move away from the romantic poetry of statement and emotion to the modern poetry of symbol and suggestion. These where the things that broadened our notions of what poetry could be, not just beautiful and sweet, but gritty and real (Poggenburg, “Introduction to: Charles Baudelaire: Une
