Modernism, Liberation and a New Way of Seeing Diploma Lecture Series 2013 Revolution to Romanticism: European Art and Culture 1750-1850 Goya Michael Hill 20/21 February 2013 Lecture summary: Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) was the quintessentially ambitious artist, competing with the greats of the past and mastering every genre of painting. He became deaf mid-way through his career, plunging him into a silent world of visual narrative. This perhaps accounts for something of the intense emotionalism of his storytelling, which culminates in the so-called ‘Black paintings’ of his last years. Slide list: 1.

  • Witches Sabbath( the Great He- Goat)
    Witches sabbath( the great he- goat) Continue Otherwise known as the Great On-Goat, Francisco Goya provides a visually stunning and historically terrifying representation of this famous mural that adorned the mid-1800s that brought to life vivid and terrifying memories of the Spanish Inquisition. The description of the painting depicts Satan surrounded by a group of frightened and anxiously mutilated witches. Satan appears as an almost shady goat whose characteristics are not so easy to see or define. A goat man appears with his mouth wide open, as if he are shouting curses (or instructions) to his closest followers. He appeals to the modern belief that power is asserted through fear, not respect for power or title. Women's age varies, but throughout their work they have similar distortions. They seem frightened, but overwhelmingly obedient, as if they obey Satan's orders and intentions to obey. He is considered to be part of fourteen or more paintings depicting Goyah's Black Paintings. The story of Francisco Goya took extreme measures and risks on the heels of the terrible Spanish Inquisition, as well as the witch hunt and trials that followed soon after. Goya directly and visually attacks the feelings and mentality of the time, which reveled in superstitions and religious horror on the dark side of human nature. Although this mural (among other works by Goya) was moderately hidden during its creation for fear of recriminations in his artistic commentary, it is considered one of his best works - all of which appear later in his career. Francisco Goya retreated from the public eye and was constantly afraid to go crazy.

  • Francisco De Goya
    Francisco de Goya, pintor a caballo entre el clasicismo y el romanticismo que se enmarca en el periodo de la Ilustración del siglo XVIII, es una figura imprescindible de la historia del arte español. El artista vive en una constante dicotomía, puesto que trabaja para la corte y, al mismo tiempo, introduce la crítica social en su obra y se interesa por temas poco habituales, como el lado oscuro del ser humano. De esta manera, revoluciona el arte con obras maestras como La maja desnuda o La familia de Carlos IV. Su talento a la hora de plasmar a la perfección la personalidad de sus personajes en sus retratos y de captar un sentido de la luz preciso y delicado queda reflejado en sus pinturas al óleo, sus frescos, sus aguafuertes, sus litografías y sus dibujos. Esta guía estructurada y concisa te invita a descubrir todos los secretos de Francisco de Goya, desde su contexto, su biografía y las características de su obra hasta un análisis de sus trabajos principales, como la Adoración del nombre de Dios por los ángeles, El sueño de la razón produce monstruos o La maja desnuda, entre otros. Te ofrecemos las claves para: conocer la España de los siglos XVIII y XIX, que pierde importancia a nivel mundial y que se muestra reacia a toda idea liberal que provenga de fuera de sus fronteras; descubrir los detalles sobre la vida de Francisco de Goya, artista lleno de contradicciones que se convierte en una de las figuras clave de la historia del arte español; analizar una selección de sus obras clave, como La maja desnuda, la Adoración del nombre de Dios por los ángeles, El sueño de la razón produce monstruos o La familia de Carlos IV; etc.

    Twenty-Three Tales Author(s): Tolstoy, Leo Nikolayevich (1828-1910) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Famous for his longer novels, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy displays his mastery of the short story in Twenty-Three Tales. This volume is organized by topic into seven different segments. Part I is filled with stories for children, while Part 2 is filled with popular stories for adult. In Part 3, Tolstoy discreetly condemns capitalism in his fairy tale "Ivan the Fool." Part 4 contains several short stories, which were originally published with illustrations to encourage the inexpensive reproduction of pictorial works. Part 5 fea- tures a number of Russian folk tales, which address the themes of greed, societal conflict, prayer, and virtue. Part 6 contains two French short stories, which Tolstoy translated and modified. Finally, Part 7 contains a group of parabolic short stories that Tolstoy dedicated to the Jews of Russia, who were persecuted in the early 1900©s. Entertaining for all ages, Tolstoy©s creative short stories are overflowing with deeper, often spiritual, meaning. Emmalon Davis CCEL Staff Writer Subjects: Slavic Russian. White Russian.
