The Death of Marat

I consider the French Revolution to be one of the most tragic events in world history. There were countless people like in the September massacre that had undeservedly died because of prejudice and accusation. Later on, many more deaths were being caused by a killing device called the guillotine which was mostly used during the reign of terror. I find it really sad that many situations in the past believes that the only solution is violence and terror. The reign of terror was the time where France

Art has changed significantly over the years, but three major events have enriched our society during the 18th and 19th century. The three major events are the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the Industrial Revolution; However, only one out of the three events have made the most impact. The French Revolution has made the most impact because the French Revolution is the straw that broke the camel’s back, which in lead to the Enlightenment movement, and the Industrial revolution. During French

The Reign of Terror      History is said to be written by the winners, but is it possible to rewrite history? In a way, the French, like many who have preceded them, and many who will proceed them have done the impossible, rewriting history. From trivial folklore, such as George Washington chopping down a cherry tree, to the incredibly wrong, the African slave trade; people's views of history can be shaped and molded. The French have done a superb job of instilling all of us with the concept

people are known as revolutionaries. Some important revolutionaries are Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Robespierre, Marat, Danton, and Toussaint L’Overture. All of these people fought to make a change. According to “The French Revolution” video, Robespierre was a leader of the French Revolution who called for liberty, equality, and fraternity. He encouraged the use of the death penalty and insisted that they behead the King. He was fighting against an unjust monarchy and unfair taxing. Although

I feel that the French Revolution was a time of depression for all living in France. Countless innocent lives had been taken because of bad leadership and disagreement. Many deaths occurred during the Reign of Terror and the September Massacre. There were hundreds of thousands of lives that had been lost through all the events of the French Revolution. In the past, people didn't care if they had taken another ones life because their were less people to find out that you had committed murder. The

for Roman Marquis Ciriaco Mattei in 1602 and is an oil painting of Jesus being arrested. The painting shows strong lighting, similar to the time of Neoclassicalism, but comapered to other paintings of Neoclassicism such as Jacques-Louis David’s Death of Marat which was painted in 1793 the differences between the two pieces are quite large, one of the biggest differences is the subject matter of the painting. Caravaggio’s painting is of religious subject matter, which was the main art content of times

historical paintings like The Death of Marat by Jacques-Louis David (Wasteland). When the group of catadores began Muniz’s project, they were confused as to what they were creating. As the camera pans across the room, the pickers began to notice that the garbage is molding into a shape. Once the first project is complete, the camera gives an aerial view of the work, showing that they have created a portrait of the pickers. Catadore, Tiao’s portrait mimicked The Death of Marat. When Tiao viewed his portrait

and paintings had a feel of historicism, morality and antiquity. When it comes to the feature of historicism figure 23.4 of The Death of Germanius by Thomas Banks is a good example due to the fact that he tries to emphasize logic and credibility with the authenticy of his scene being as real and historical as possible, in comparison to figure 23.28 of The Death of Marat by David which was made to be used as propaganda so it wasn’t as informative and historical than Banks sculpture. In the morality

2. John Wesley is associated with the founding of what religious sect? I chose to omit this question because I couldn’t remember with which “ism” John Wesley was associated. The correct answer is c. Methodism because in the “Impact of the Enlightenment” PowerPoint, a parenthetical mentions John Wesley in the description of Methodism. 6. Romanticism changed the direction of the Enlightenment by emphasizing… I answered a. skepticism which is incorrect because skepticism was more of

and understood by European scholars, were also glorified. Imitations of the Greek styles of art began to appear. Historical or mythical works also began to appear in the art world, especially works by Jacques-Louis David. Oath of the Horatii, Death of Marat, and his depictions for Napoleon played to be crucial in French politics. These works were used as weapons for nationalism, something which had not been commonly done since the Baroque era. Architects also practiced Neoclassicism. Thomas Jefferson’s
