Impressionism The Impressionist revolution was born from the technological advancements during the Industrial Revolution, the political instability in France from the Revolution of 1848, and the domineering rule of the French Academy of Fine Arts. Together, through the vision of a group of extremely talented French artists, brought a variety of influences, beliefs, and styles together to form Impressionism (1977). After the monarchy in France was overthrown, conservatives seized the reins of government creating widespread distrust among the aristocracy, the poor, and the newly prosperous bourgeoisie or middle class. As the bourgeoisie grew in numbers and influence, the taste for art expanded. In addition to the expansion of art production occurring, demands for the traditional artists and works that featured idealized images with symmetry, hard outlines, and smooth paint surfaces that characterized academic paintings were the only accepted creations (2000). The French Academy of Fine Arts was about to embark on the movement that steered the art world away from the art that taught a moral lesson with historic, mythological, and Biblical themes they demanded.

Henri Matisse was an extravagant artist they lived from 1869 till 1954.

The middle class in France during the early 1800s, otherwise known as the Bourgeoisie, was defined by capitalistic views and business-minded outlooks. However, many people of this era, including author Gustave Flaubert, were highly critical of this middle class. In Flaubert’s novel Madame Bovary, the character Homais represents the ideas and spirit of the Bourgeoisie. Because of his dissatisfaction with the middle class, the author gives Homais several negative character traits, such as selfishness, cowardice, and hypocrisy. Flaubert’s criticism of the egotistical and corrupt nature of Homais is evident during the procedure on Hippolyte and the argument between Homais and the priest; Homais’ triumph at the end of the novel suggests that Flaubert is also critical of the outcome of the pharmacist’s actions, not just the actions themselves.
Flaubert’s Madame Bovary concludes with Monsieur Homais ecstatic because of his triumph in receiving the medal of the Legion of Honor. Homais, the town pharmacist in Yonville, spends most of his time adulating people in authority and attempting to publicize his good deeds to reach his success at the end novel. Moreover, Homais’s immoral and self-serving actions clearly display that he is certainly the last character in Madame Bovary that deserves to be encompassed in glory when the story has finished. Although it originally seems that Homais is an insignificant character who will chatter incessantly to anyone with social status, he ends up serving as one of the chief players who unfolds Flaubert’s themes. Flaubert, through her description of the apothecary, characterizes the age of modernity to be synonymous with the new bourgeoisie class that has emerged in France. The faith in scientific or technological development, the increasing secularism of the era, and the prioritization of the individual were all themes of the time period. Flaubert uses the town pharmacist to portray the issues she noticed in 19th century France. Homais arises as an ironic depiction of the modern man through his interaction with Hippolyte and the beggar, his attempts to promote his status through self-interested endeavors and flattering those with power, and his conversations with the priest of Yonville.
After publishing Madame Bovary, Flaubert received a lot of criticism for his work. The main character Emma Bovary did not have the characteristics that a woman of his time is
