This course focuses on an era within the history of art in 19th century France, and events that contributed to the birth of modern art. Social, cultural, political and philosophical ideas that shaped and changed the way art was created and defined will be discussed. The course will begin with an analysis of the historical, social, and theoretical issues, such as the reconstruction of Paris, Napoleon III, the role of female artists, government sponsored art exhibitions, the Salon shows, and the Anonymous Society of Painters and its impact in the art world. The course will look at the works of the artists who would be labeled the Impressionist and for whom the art movement Impressionism emerged.
