CK ART F200x

I want to apologize for any confusion my blog may have caused. In my effort to complete it over the Spring Break, I unfortunately overlooked the date of the art period given by the Professor. Therefore, two of my introduced Artists, Anna Atkins and Camille Pissarro, and their artworks don't meet the time frame requirements. In this week's Early Modern Blog, I would like to present the development of art following innovations in science and technology. The innovation in technology in this blog will be photography.  The first successful photographic experiment was a Daguerreotype, created by Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre in 1837. In late 1839, daguerreotypes that engraved images in silver-coated copper plates became popular and were produced in many nations. In early 1840, the first photography studios started appearing in the UK. Photography offered the possibility of an instant portrait that was affordable to all societal classes. Photography created a new media that was also us

In my Romantic Era Blog, I would like to compare Romanticism and Art Nouveau styles. The first artwork that I would like to introduce is the painting  The Cornfield  by the famous romantic tradition painter John Constable(1776-1837) and the art nouveau genre painting  The Seasons (Summer)  by Alphonse Mucha(1860-1939).  The painting  The Cornfields  was created in 1826 in John Constable's studio in London in oil on canvas, measuring 143x122 cm. It is in the main collection of the National Gallery London, UK. The painting depicts a cornfield on Fen Lane that Constable frequented in his childhood on the way to his school in Dedham. "Constable exhibited the painting at the Royal Academy in 1826. Despite receiving critical praise, it failed to sell, either at the Royal Academy or at any of the four other exhibitions to which Constable sent it."(the cornfield, n.d.) The artwork depicts a rural scene on a hot summer day with a little shepherd boy thirstily drinking cold water o

  In my classical exhibit blog, I would like to introduce you to three extraordinary artists who exquisitely synthesized art and science.  The first artist in my exhibition is John Constable (1776-1837) and his landscape,  The   Hay Wain.  The landscape was painted in 1821 oil on canvas in a London studio and has measurements of 130.2x185.4 cm and is attributed to the romantic style of painting. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of London, UK. "The Hay Wain is an idyllic image of a summer day in the artist’s beloved Suffolk countryside. First shown to the public in 1821, the landscape became the third in a series of so-called "six-footers", the canvases that Constable painted for exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Arts."(The Hay Wain, n.d.) John Constable grew up along the Stour River in East Bergholt, Suffolk. The impressions of the idyllic countryside can be found in his landscape paintings, which are closely related to the Stour Valley area, which i
