Definition
Hals, Archers of Saint Hadrian
1633
Hals is best known for his portraits, mainly of wealthy citizens. He also painted large group portraits, many of which showed civil guards. He was a Baroque painter who practiced an intimate realism with a radically free approach. His pictures illustrate the various strata of society; banquets or meetings of officers, sharpshooters, guildsmen, admirals, generals, burgomasters, merchants, lawyers, and clerks, itinerant players and singers, gentlefolk, fishwives and tavern heroes.
In group portraits, such as the Archers of St. Hadrian, Hals captures each character in a different manner. The faces are not idealized and are clearly distinguishable, with their personalities revealed in a variety of poses and facial expressions.
His first master at Antwerp was probably Van Noort but he then entered the atelier of painter and historian Carel van Mander. (Hals owned some Mander paintings, that were amongst the items sold to pay his bakery debt in 1652). He soon improved upon the practice of the time, as exemplified by Jan van Scorel and Antonio Moro, and gradually emancipated himself from traditional portrait conventions.
Hals was fond of daylight and silvery sheen, while Rembrandt used golden glow effects based upon artificial contrasts of low light in immeasurable gloom. Both men were painters of touch, but of touch on different keys — Rembrandt was the bass, Hals the treble. Hals seized, with rare intuition, a moment in the life of his subjects. What nature displayed in that moment he reproduced thoroughly in a delicate scale of color, and with mastery over every form of expression. He became so clever that exact tone, light and shade, and modeling were obtained with a few marked and fluid strokes of the brush.

What is the Rococo?

WATTEAU


though Rococo originated in the purely decorative arts, the style showed clearly in painting. These painters used delicate colors and curving forms, decorating their canvases with cherubs and myths of love. Portraiture was also popular among Rococo painters. Some works show a sort of naughtiness or impurity in the behavior of their subjects, showing the historical trend of departing away from the Baroque's church/state orientation. Landscapes were pastoral and often depicted the leisurely outings of aristocratic couples.
Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684–1721) is generally considered the first great Rococo painter. He had a great influence on later painters, including François Boucher (1703–1770) and Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806), two masters of the late period. Even Thomas Gainsborough's (1727–1788) delicate touch and sensitivity are reflective of the Rococo spirit.

1. Michaelangelo of the High RENN period
1501 to 1504,
IMPORTANT:
It came to symbolize the Florentine Republic, an independent city state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states. This interpretation was also encouraged by the original setting of the sculpture outside the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence. The completed sculpture was unveiled on 8 September 1504.

Not big on the 'religious' thing. the absence of a ruler and the calvinist concern for the potential misuses of religious art. Dutch REPUBLIC = bunch of ol' calvinist. Yup yup yup.

at first drew acid criticism. crtics saw ingres as a rebel in from and content. kept attacking until mid 1820s when another painter like him appeared suddenly, everyone likes it. -___- poor ingres. poor neoclassicism
Term
What is romanticism, etc?
Definition
the neoclassicism reinforced enlightenment thought from voltaire
buuuut
romanticism followed rousseau's words, "Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains!"
also following the idea that "I am like no one in the whole world. I may be no better, at least I am different." individual freedom is a biggie principle for romanticism.

this is all very dramatic and very emotional. not always religious.

Artists:

Francisco Goya - The Third of May 1808 - 1814.
spanish have horrified expressions - humanity, while the firing squad seems to be inhumane. The one peasant about the be shot is in the 'crucifiction' pose.

Gericault - raft of the madusa 1818-1819
actual historical event. the ship medusa shipwrecked when it ran aground on a reef. 150 men built a makeshift raft from the shift. it drifted for 12 days and only 15 people survived. x-shaped composition. the corner of the raft that juts out towards the audience envokes the audience
gericault even visted morgues and hospitals

The harvest of death - timothy o’sullivan
Grucsome, horrible, actions shots documentary aspect t of it.
How things receeded into the background
Painters tend to show an entire scene. Photography cut off building, and people. Eventually, the painters took note.
