- Thursday: Introduction to the Rococo period and artists Watteau and Hogarth.
- Friday: Italian Rococo.
The French Academy ranked classical art forms over romantic art forms. Its purpose was to standardize art instruction through a hierarchical system overseen by Jean-Baptiste Colbert. It promoted a compromise between baroque and classical styles that appealed to Louis XIV's taste for grandeur but in a more secular form known as le bon gout, or good taste. This style was imposed across France and elevated Paris over Rome as the artistic capital of Europe.
This document provides context on the Baroque period in Italy and Spain through several artworks and artists. It discusses the 17th century conflicts in Europe including the Thirty Years War. The development of science at this time is also noted. For art, the document outlines the development of the Baroque style in Italy, focusing on Caravaggio's realism and use of tenebrism. It then discusses the artists Gentileschi, Annibale Carracci, Bernini, and their contributions to developing the Baroque style through works like The Calling of Saint Matthew and The Ecstasy of Saint Therese. Finally, it briefly introduces the Spanish Baroque, noting key artists like Velazquez who were inspired by Italian masters.
The document provides an overview of Baroque art in Holland and Flanders between the 16th and 17th centuries. It discusses the historical context of the Dutch gaining independence from Spain in 1648. It then profiles several prominent Dutch Baroque artists from the period, including Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Jan Bruegel the Elder, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, and Johannes Vermeer. For each artist, it provides brief biographical information and images to highlight characteristics of their work.
Jan Van Eyck (1385-1441) was a Flemish painter who served as court painter to the Count of Holland. Some of his most famous works include the Ghent Altarpiece and the Arnolfini Portrait. He was influential as one of the first Western artists to use oil-based pigments in his paintings and the first to sign his name on a portrait. Modern theorists have proposed that Van Eyck's realistic style was achieved through using convex mirrors to trace projected forms, though this claim is disputed. The document provides biographical information about Jan Van Eyck and discusses his artistic accomplishments and innovative techniques.

Titian was one of the greatest Venetian artists, known for his tonal approach to painting landscapes and figures. He employed bold strokes of color as a base and would leave paintings for months before reexamining and refining them. His mastery brought figures to a state of perfect symmetry and living flesh through gradual stages. Titian's works were commissioned during the Counter-Reformation to combat Protestant movements and iconoclasm.
The document provides background information on key figures and developments during the High Renaissance period in 16th century Italy. It discusses the three major figures of the High Renaissance - Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo. For Leonardo, it describes his training in Florence and career working for patrons in Milan and Florence. It highlights his use of sfumato technique and imaginative landscapes. The document also provides analysis of Leonardo's famous works like the Mona Lisa, noting its pyramidal composition and enigmatic smile.
1) Florence established itself as a center of art and architecture in the early 15th century after gaining independence. Major projects like the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore were completed during this period.
2) Brunelleschi and Ghiberti competed to design the baptistery doors, with Ghiberti winning. Brunelleschi then turned his attention to solving the engineering challenges of building the dome of Florence Cathedral, establishing new construction methods.
3) Wealthy families like the Medicis became important patrons of the arts, commissioning works from artists such as Donatello, Masaccio, and Botticelli. These artists helped establish ideals of naturalism, perspective, and classical inspiration that

Exodus 8:16–24
or Jeremiah 26:1–15
Ephesians 5:1–9
Luke 11:14–28
Jesus Overcomes the Strong Man
Jeremiah was charged with speaking evil when he spoke the Word of the Lord (Jer. 26:1–
15). So also, Jesus is accused of doing evil when in fact He is doing good. He casts out a
demon from a mute man so that he is able to speak (Luke 11:14–28). But some said Jesus
did this by the power of Beelzebub, Satan. Like Pharaoh of old, their hearts were hard (Ex.
8:16–24). They did not recognize the finger of God, the power of the Holy Spirit at work
in and through Jesus. Jesus is the Stronger Man who overcomes the strong man. He takes
the devil‘s armor of sin and death and destroys it from the inside out by the holy cross. He
exorcizes and frees us by water and the Word. We were once darkness, but now we are
light in Christ the Lord (Eph. 5:1–9). As children of light, our tongues are loosed to give
thanks to Him who saved us.
