Romanticism

Look back in your notes for History of Art and Design I for the early precursors of Romanticism: Artemesia's Holofernes paintings, Jacob van Ruisdael's landscapes, etc. Although elements of the Baroque anticipated Romanticism, as movement it really begins in the late 18th century.

And here's an interesting slide show from a French chiropractic organization (in English) about the ramifications of the Grand Odalisque's long spine. The best explanation is, of course, Mannerism--but medical folks will have their say . . .

Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and the Graphic Arts

Workbook: As part of an extra credit assignment, explore the rise of importance of graphic arts during the Neoclassical and Romantic periods, and the development of new printing technologies. Of particular importance is the development of Chromolithography. Although the lithographic process had been around for some time, the invention of color printing in the nineteenth century is what made all of your jobs possible. Use the following links:

Printmaking techniques This page from Monoprints.com provides a nice overview of printing techniques, with further pages with more details. And here's a short summary of printing techniques (and some good advice) from Washington Printmakers Gallery.

The Printed Image in Europe: History and Techniques

The Philadelphia Print Shop's page, Chromolithography: The Art of Color

Glossary of Printmaking Terms (U of Kansas)

This new site from the University of Delaware covers the history of Color Printing in the Nineteenth Century. It provides excellent information and high-quality images.

For a clear explanation of the lithographic process, see this page from the Tamarind Institute.

The nineteenth-century book artist, poet, and printer William Blake provides an interesting blend of illumination and printing, in a truly unique style. Peek here at the Octavo Press page on Blake's Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, which they've just published as a digitally scanned CD, as they have with his Book of Urizen. The most comprehensive Blake site available on the web is The William Blake Archive.
