The Works Of Eugene Delacroix

Every artist has his or her own style of painting. Each painting tells some sort of story or has some type of personal meaning to the artist. One of the most important figures in modern art is Pablo Picasso. Not only was Pablo Picasso a genius in the field of abstract art, but he also experimented with sculpting and ceramics. Pablo Picasso has taken the world to many places with his unique style of work which is why I believe he is considered to be a genius of the 20th century.

Graves: grave is where people are buried when they die and is related with the story because Mr Graves is the one that manages the lottery.

He forever changed the world and had a huge impact on the 20th century. He believe that they should do away with so much art that impresses the eye and rather make them mind travel.

The science of oil painting came to it's full fruition in the nineteenth century. The palette now included dazzling colors which could electrify a painting. First a student of Cabanel's and later influenced by Mariano Fortuny y Marshal, Regnault was one of the rising stars of the Romantic movement. He lived a passionate life, traveling to the Middle East even though he was broke, hanging out in Spain as it rose up against Queen Isabella the Second, he loved excitement and adventure.

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio better known as simply Caravaggio was an Italian Baroque master painter born in Italy around 1571. After he apprenticed with a painter in Milan, he moved to Rome, where he lived for most of his life. His work influenced painters around Europe. He’s most known for his gruesome subjects and use of Tenebrism, which was a technique that used heavy shadow to

Delacroix was a painter of that time and he began to paint under this framework. He progressively moved his direction to the Renaissance paintings as he was enthused by them. He was not enthused by classical art. He started to concentrate on the color and movement in his paintings rather than worry about the excellence of the line. "Liberty leading the people" is not just

Masaccio, an Italian painter of the early 15th century, was a master of three-dimensionality, as he is literally able to summon and animate lifeless figures and objects out of their respective paintings. What makes Masaccio, a humanistic artist was his naturalistic perception ad implementation of humanity into his art. He didn’t idealize in his paintings, he realistically portrayed humans beings as they were, radically unlike previous art. He regularly was commissioned by religious authorities to create Christian art

He tended to explore the darker aspects of life and death in his paintings. Rebelling against conventional ideas- divine intervention, Virgin Mary, and death- he came to create his own style, forcing civilization ahead, and forcing others to follow his path. His paintings show pleading through man's direct knowledge of God (Cunningham and Reich 1640). By revolting against the classical traditions, he created his own style, which other artists wished to portray also. Thus, he created a forward movement in the fashion of art and architecture.

Every painting is a unique experience for each individual person, therefore two of the artists that offered some of the most unique experiences where Leonardo da vinci and Michelangelo. While both of these painters are today well regarded and remembered, during their time they both had achieved such status in vastly different ways. Therefore even though these two artists lived during the same time these two are nothing alike. With their unique take on the world and events around them they were able to shape how the average person thought about the world around them.

In this respect, he is close to philosophers of the Enlightenment such a as Diderot, who advocated the painting of moral subjects. But why? What philosophy is this referring to? How does this reveal those philosophical beliefs? In addition, these philosophies are also be elegantly expressed in the painting “the liberty leading the people”by E ugène Delacroix . The woman in the center personifying the concept and the Goddess of Liberty leads the people forward , holding the flag of the French Revolution – the tricolour flag, which remains France's national flag – in one hand and brandishing a bayonetted musket with the other.With the outstretched figure of liberty, the vibrant, bold fighters contrasting to the dead casualties in the foreground, the heroic poses of the people are all raising their arms or hold their weapons firmly which shows people's passionate and proud intentions to fight for liberty, the painting illustrates the struggle of the people for their liberty, and allows the viewer to empathize with that struggle. This painting was once used as a political poster for the revolutionYou need to further explain how the philosophical beliefs are effecting

His early paintings had an unconventional, unique, and unfinished look about them. The images were known to everyone in everyday life.

Michelangelo Merisi, known as “Caravaggio” was known for introducing realism and drama by using theatrical lighting and gesture to Italian Baroque art. Caravaggio’s paintings were focused on religious matter commissioned for the Catholic Church. Georges de la Tour was well known in his own time but then forgotten until well into the twentieth century. His work consisted mostly of candlelit subjects, and he commissioned paintings for royal aristocrats such as King Louis XIII and Henry II of Lorraine. George de la Tour is one of the most important examples of the many artists during the seventeenth century who were greatly influenced by the work of Caravaggio.

Much of Delacroix’s inspiration, like many other artists, came from the Renaissance period artist Michelangelo. He studied his work closely, reveling in his study of figures as well as the life, and death, he portrayed on canvas. During the later stages of Eugene Delacroix’s life he was commissioned by the government of France to paint enormous paintings on ceilings of buildings, which made him feel a closeness with the late Michelangelo. It’s said that his intensity rivaled that of Michelangelo as well. Delacroix went so far as to create a portrait painting titled ‘Michelangelo in His Studio’, this shows the intense influence this artist had on his work as well in his life. In Delacroix’s personal journal he wrote of Michelangelo saying, ‘Familiarity with the work of Michelangelo has exalted and elevated every subsequent generation of painters.’ We can trace Delacroix’s artistic heritage back to Rubens and Michelangelo, although his use of colors was a product of his Venetian schooling. Delacroix’s influence throughout the Romanticism art movement is comparable to that of Michelangelo’s influence throughout the Renaissance movements. Delacroix spent time studying and embodying Michelangelo’s work and found his niche in art by studying his predecessor’s realism. Michelangelo is often recognized as the artist who painted the large and detailed piece located in the Vatican City. He painted scenes from The Old Testament, and The Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel. You can see

Picasso's most well known painting of this time is from 1937, called Guernica. (Grolier). In the last two decades of his life, Picasso became intrigued by earlier art. He based several paintings on works painters of the 1600's such as Rembrandt and Diego Velazquez, and the French artists of the 1800's, such as Delacroix and Manet. Picasso tried to break down their work, recompose it, and became even bolder in his methods and styles of painting (World Book).
