Abstract
The paper reveals that, while working over a decade apart, Goya and Delacroix are both described as having changed the depiction of current events capturing the disillusionment and realities of modern life . To illustrate the similarities in both their adherence to the Romantic Movement as well as their political treatment of subject matter pertaining to war, this essay discusses a painting by each artist; Goya's "The Third of May" 1808 and "Delacroix's Massacres at Chios", 1824.
From the Paper
"The Romantic Movement in Spain and France gained foothold after the French Revolution (1789-1799) and the Napoleonic War (1808-1814) much later than both Germany and Britain. Described as an anti-intellectual movement in both art and literature, artists in the Romantic tradition actively commented against the traditions of aristocratic domination of politics and societal norms and supported the rise of nationalism. Two artists whose work belonged to this movement were Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) and Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863). While working over a decade apart, Goya and Delacroix are both described as having changed..."

Abstract
This paper explores Eugene Delacroix's best known work of political romanticism, "Liberte Leading the People", attending to its iconographic, allegorical appeal, and the iconology of symbols and connected meanings. Like all art of the kind, the canvas appeals to human emotive tendencies and beliefs, as opposed to the more banal and disputed facts of July 1830 that saw the house of Orleans brought to power.
From the Paper
"Iconography addresses the meaning of works of art, as compared to their form, towards exploration of iconology, as opposed to the viewer's merely intuitive recognition of what a work represents. Panofsky outlined the iconographic approach's focus on images and allegories as compared to more symbolic values obtained through iconological interpretation. (Meaning 40-41) James Rubin's article on Eugene Delacroix's work of the 1820s describes a young man whose career coincided with the rise of French romanticism, in the dissatisfaction preceding the revolution of July 28, 1830."

Abstract
This paper explains that, during the romantic movement in Spain and France, which is described as an anti-intellectual movement in both art and literature, artists of this tradition actively commented against the traditions of aristocratic domination of politics and societal norms and supported the rise of nationalism. The author points out that both Goya and Delacroix related their artistic visions and imagination to actual events and made political statements through their depiction of war. The paper explores this theme in Goya's "The Third of May 1808", which he created in response to the tyranny of Napoleon's forces, and in Delacroix's "Massacres at Chios, 1824", which was his objection to the continuing social repression of the professional and peasant classes.
From the Paper
"The decades preceding and following the turn of the 18th century were violent and bloody. It was an era of much political and social upheaval where people, ranging from both intellectual and educated to peasants, began to question the role and power of the aristocracy whom they began to view as irresponsible despots . In particular, the divine right of royalty was questioned along with the rules they imposed upon their subjects as well as the war atrocities they caused. Artists, including painters began to portray the fall out of this political upheaval."

Abstract
The paper examines how the primary similarities between these two works by Poussin and Delacroix reflect the multi-figurative depiction of mythological interpretations within the function and placement of these large-scale works in a gallery setting. The paper describes how by capturing the critical moment of violence in these two works, the painters create a line of motion that connects all of the forms together, providing a central axis for varying movements that might move out of this line.

From the Paper
"Mary Cassatt was a lone American among the French impressionists. Her influence from impressionism and her intimate familiarity with the techniques of Japanese prints led to her series of works featuring women in intimate or personal experiences. Of these paintings, "The Bath" is an oil on canvas that features a mother giving her female daughter a hand bath. This analysis will discuss the various styles employed in the work by Cassatt who Christopher labels a sponge..."

Abstract
The paper discusses two paintings of French artists that refer to different historical periods of art history, to different art styles, and present different themes. The first painting is "Liberty Leading the People" by Eugene Delacroix, a work that glorified the revolution of 1830 in France, and the second is Claudet Monet's "Boulevard des Capucines," which showed the daily life of Paris as a center of art and culture. The first painting refers to French progressive Romanticism, and the second one to Impressionism.
From the Paper
"In 1831 Eugene Delacroix showed his "Liberty Leading the People" in Paris salon, which was dedicated to "three glorious days" of July revolution, 1830 . The power, democratic manner and brave artistic manner of the painting caused shock and admiration of viewers. The painting was quickly returned to Delacroix as government officials were afraid of its revolutionary appeal. It was returned to public in 1855 when it came to Louvers. Inspired by the revolutionary events of 1830, Delacroix decided to reflect his impressions in the painting that would demonstrate the main value of the nation the seek of freedom and democracy. This power is presented in the image of young beautiful woman, who leads the crowd of rise. Her fine image, energy and internal freedom may compare her to Greek goodness of victory Nica . She holds French flag in one hand and a gun in another, Phrygian cap on her head is an ancient symbol of emancipation from slavery. In order to outline her leading image, Delacroix pictured her in the center and made her imaged the lithest in the composition. She is like the source of light, which lights the thirst of freedom in the crowd. The boy, which stands next to the young woman is full of enthusiasm and in his seek for freedom he even forestalls the woman. Realism of the painting is defined by the expressiveness of people, their firm faces and their motion. Because people are shown in motion, the painting looks more realistic and impressive."

Abstract
This paper examines the art of Goya and Delacroix and the politic statements that each has made through their works of art. The paper further emphasizes that the political statements of today are not the same as during these painters' lives, and that their work is more of a historical commentary on the society of the time. Through the research, the evidence shows that both of these painters were involved in their social ideals.
From the Paper
"Eugene Delcroix was a masterful French painter who believed that his work was an expression of his beliefs, and who often found inspiration for his paintings through his study of literature. Delecroix's most famous paintings included, "The Barque of Dante" (1822), "The Massacre at Chios" (1824), "The Death of Sardanapalus" (1827), and "Liberty Leading the People" (1830) 1. It is believed that Delacroix's work often reflected his admiration for the Greeks who displayed nobility in the face of ardent struggle. A student of history through literature, Delacroix often depicted paintings of kings, battles for survival, and literary heroes that spoke to him of the honor of man 1. Goya began his artistic career in Spain as a portraitist who meticulously proved his artistic abilities to the nobility and began painting their images with great acceptance."

Abstract
The paper examines Wordsworth's poem "Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey", and highlights how nature is described in vivid and intense terms, in contrast to the mundanity of modern civilization. The paper then examines Delacriox's painting "Massacre at Chios" and how its portrayal of a great massacre also expresses passion and feelings that transcend ordinary mundane events. The paper posits that although these works are very different, there is the common Romantic theme of a reality that is larger, more imaginative and more intense when compared to ordinary reality.
From the Paper
"The Romantic period and movement covers a wide range of themes, styles and perceptions in art and literature. However, while there are divergent themes and approaches, there are also many areas of similarity. The Romantic era can best be understood through a clear grasp of the underlying ethos and the 'mood' of this genre in art. The ethos of romanticism, whether in literature or painting, conforms in general terms to certain central concerns. Among these central themes that emerge in Romanticism are the importance of the imagination; a heroic and defiant attitude to life, the belief in wider possibilities and experiences and a reaction to the society of the time."
