European Art



Many others have agreed that the 19th century was the pivotal place in history where political, social and intellectual arenas saw much change geared toward modernization. This also applied to Art of that period. Many styles of painting emmerged in the 19th century expressing the changes that was going on in our world at that time. Each piece of art expressed it's own perceptions of reality as seen through the artists' eyes. It was during this time that Paris was leading as the Art capitol of the world. Many other cities such as London, Rome, Munich and Brussels were getting in on the action of developing art galleries and special showings.







At the Beginning of the 19th century Neo-Classicism found resistance from the art of Romanticsm which made its way through. Many new forms of art was competing for popularity. Much later Jean-Baptiste-Camille Carot, a french artiste, had influenced the birth of Impressionism with his works of light on color. At first, to some artists, impressionism seemed to be an impersonal emphasis on visual happenings. This created the desire to experiment deeper into this form of art to find a more meaningful expression of impressionism. Artists like Seurat worked with the dot and optive technique which became a popular form of painting. Expressionism, on the other hand, saw new paths of inner expression as Vincent Van Gogh led the way for Modern Art, as we know it today.





The Victorian Era was enriched by new forms of art. Below are listed examples of these forms of Art from Neo-Classicism to the Post-Impressionism art of Expressionism.
