Document Summary
1648, france established by louis the 14th. Has 2 parts and are interconnected: the salon, the school. The oath of the horatii (historical painting) Religious themes are the same as historical themes (christianity) Portraits were considered important because they were more than just copying, they are trying to get at the phycology of a person (intellectually) Lastly landscapes and nature were at the bottom because you did not need to be educated to paint these things. History and religion they need the education, know where the story came from, why it was significant in the day. History paintings are part imagination, it has to come from your mind, therefore you need more intellect and education. Academy was taking ideals from the 17th century (1600"s) Academy liked images of mirror reality (no heavy pallet work, no brushworks, highly realistic, using realism, do not see the artists personality, no emotions, see the artists highly developed technological skills)
