Art of Western Europe of the 17th century. "Man is but a reed, the weakest of the creatures of nature, but he is a thinking reed"
slide 2
The eighteenth century in Western Europe represents a period of transition from absolute monarchy in a number of countries to bourgeois society. It is often referred to as the Age of Enlightenment. France became the classical country of the Enlightenment and the brightest flourishing of artistic culture. In the first half and the middle of the 18th century, the “Rococo” or “Louis XV style” style, generated by French culture, spread, and realistic art also grew. Portrait of Louis XV

The French Enlightenment was of great importance for the development of progressive ideas of culture in the 18th century. Religion, the understanding of nature, society, the state order - everything was subjected to the most merciless criticism: everything had to appear before the court of reason and either justify its existence or abandon it. French enlighteners, starting with J. Mellier, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau and ending with the encyclopedists led by Diderot, a galaxy of writers, including Lesage, Prevost, Marivaux, Beaumarchais, and masters of fine art in the person of Watteau, Chardin, Latour, Pigalle , Boucher, Greuze, Fragonard, Houdon, David spread French culture and French art throughout Europe, giving them that peculiar and unfading charm and value that captivate and cannot but interest contemporaries to this day.

The fine arts masters of the 18th century were in much closer contact with audiences and critics than in the past. They were required to use their work as a means of entertainment, encouraged to enjoy life. The most striking masters, characteristic of the playfully coquettish, festive, decorative painting that dominated court art in the first half of the 18th century during the Regency and the short reign of Louis XV, were the exquisitely elegant Francois de Troyes (1679-1752), the decoratively sensual Francois Lemoine ( 1688-1737), graceful Charles Natoire (1700-1777), graceful Charles Antoine Coypel (1694-1752), mannered and unnatural Karl Vanloo (1705-1765) and the most important Rococo artist Francois Boucher (1703-1770).

The art of the court portrait of the 30-50s of the 18th century, responding to the tastes of the aristocracy, set itself the task of creating an outwardly elegant, decorative and sensual image of a model in the Rococo style. Among such portraits, the works of J. M. Nattier (1685-1766) stood out, who began his career as a historical painter, and then specialized in the so-called “mythological” portrait invented by him, which became very fashionable at that time. He depicted court ladies as nymphs, Diana, Venus and other ancient goddesses, conveying the resemblance extremely remotely and shamelessly flattering his models. Jean-Marc Nattier.

The most outstanding sculptural works of the first half of the century include two equestrian marble groups by Guillaume (First) Kustu, sculpted by him to decorate the pleasure park in Marly (1740-1745). Features of the transitional style from Rococo to Classicism, the search for a realistic interpretation of images emerged in the work of the most prominent master of sculpture in the middle of the 18th century, Jean Baptiste Pigalle (1714-1785).

Thus, since the middle of the 18th century, and especially in the second half of the century, the visual arts have been changing more and more, turning to the search for more truthful, realistic images. Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806) was an artist in whose multifaceted and controversial work one can observe the development of both the decorative tendencies of Rococo art and the deeply emotional, realistic trends of the second half of the 18th century.

The end of the XVIII century is characterized by the French bourgeois revolution of 1789-1794 and the beginning of a new period in the history of Europe. In the visual arts, this time is marked by the dominance of classicism; the brightest and most advanced artist of the revolution, Louis David, affirmed the harsh and courageous ideals of the struggle for public duty, for the freedom of the individual. His energetic artistic language was concise and restrained. He expressed feelings of patriotism and civic prowess. Louis David "Death"

The age of the Enlightenment, the age of the development of intellectual thought, could not but be interested in the expression in art of the individual, the psychological. Masterful, soulful portraits performed by Latour and Perronneau, Chardin and Aved, Hogarth, Reynolds and Gainsborough, Greuze and Ghislandy influenced the development of the portrait in the 19th century. Without those truthful, poetic and direct images of nature, which were given by landscape painters of the 18th century, such as J. Vernet and G. Robert, Canaletto and Guardi, Fragonard and Gainsborough, the achievements of landscape painting of the 19th century are also inconceivable. And, finally, the contribution made by Chardin and Greuze, Hogarth and Chodovetsky, Crespii Bonito to the development of realistic genre painting, which will become so widespread only in the next century, is indisputable. Thus, we see that the 18th century brought a lot of new things to the fine arts of Western Europe, both in terms of the development of painting techniques and the further development of various genres in art. In addition to the successes achieved by many individual artists, one cannot fail to note those factors that had a positive impact on the organization of artistic education.
Slide 27
The eighteenth century is characterized by the widespread creation of academies of arts, institutions that brought together the greatest masters of fine art and trained young artists. The Academy was founded in Dresden in 1697, in Berlin in 1699, in Vienna in 1726, in Copenhagen in 1754, in Venice in 1755, in St. Petersburg in 1758, and in London in 1768.
Slide 28
The eighteenth century is the time of the formation of aesthetics as a science, holistic aesthetic systems are being created: the enlighteners led by Diderot and Lessing, the German idealists, Kant, Hegel and others. The first systematic histories of art are published (Winckelmann). Winkelman

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)
slide 30
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (fr. Jean-Jacques Rousseau; June 28, 1712, Geneva - July 2, 1778, Ermenonville, near Paris) - French writer, thinker, composer. He developed a direct form of government of the people by the state - (direct democracy), which is used to this day, for example in Switzerland. The baroque rationalism of the 18th century was replaced by sentimentalism, the main feature of which was a new cultural stream, the source of which was feeling. It has transformed a cultured person, his attitude towards himself, towards people, towards nature and towards culture. The most original and influential representative and conductor of this trend was Rousseau. It put him in antagonism to the representatives of rationalism - the philosophers of the XVIII century. But, since Rousseau adopted rationalism in politics and introduced feeling and passion into it, he became the main forerunner of that radical upheaval that ended the 18th century. Rousseau was also a musicologist, composer and botanist.
Slide 31
Childhood A Frenchman by birth, Rousseau was a native of Protestant Geneva, which preserved until the 18th century. its strictly Calvinistic and municipal spirit. The mother died in childbirth. Father - Isaac Rousseau (1672-1747), watchmaker and dance teacher, was acutely worried about the loss of his wife. Jean-Jacques was a favorite child in the family, from the age of seven he read with his father until the dawn "Astrey" and the biographies of Plutarch;
slide 32
He was a student of a notary, an engraver, studied at a monastery, worked as a footman, house secretary and mentor, then communicated with encyclopedists. Thus, he went from the simplest person to a well-known personality of that period. In the summer of 1749, Rousseau went to visit Diderot, who was imprisoned in the Château de Vincennes. On the way, having opened a newspaper, I read an announcement from the Dijon Academy about a prize on the topic “Did the revival of sciences and arts contribute to the purification of morals”. A sudden thought struck Rousseau; the impression was so strong that, according to his description, he lay in some kind of intoxication under a tree for half an hour; when he came to, his vest was wet with tears. The thought that dawned on Rousseau contains the whole essence of his worldview: "enlightenment is harmful and culture itself is a lie and a crime." In response, Rousseau was awarded the prize; the entire enlightened and refined society applauded its accuser.
Slide 33
In 1761 the "New Eloise" appeared in print, in the spring of the following year - "Emil", and a few weeks later - "The Social Contract" ("Contratsocial"). During the printing of "Emile" Rousseau was in great fear: he had strong patrons, but he suspected that the bookseller would sell the manuscript to the Jesuits and that his enemies would distort its text. "Emil", however, was published; the storm broke a little later. The Paris Parliament, preparing to pronounce a sentence on the Jesuits, considered it necessary to condemn the philosophers as well, and sentenced “Emil”, for religious free-thinking and indecency, to be burned by the hand of the executioner, and his author to imprisonment. The Prince of Conti made it known at Montmorency; the Duchess of Luxembourg ordered to wake Rousseau and persuaded him to leave immediately. Rousseau, however, tarried all day and nearly fell victim to his slowness; on the road, he met bailiffs sent for him, who politely bowed to him.
slide 34
Philosophy The main philosophical works of Rousseau, which set out his social and political ideals: "New Eloise", "Emil" and "Social Contract". Rousseau, for the first time in political philosophy, tried to explain the causes of social inequality and its types, to comprehend the contractual mode of origin of the state in a different way. He believed that the state arises as a result of a social contract. According to the social contract, the supreme power in the state belongs to all the people. The sovereignty of the people is inalienable, indivisible, infallible and absolute. The law, as an expression of the general will, acts as a guarantee of individuals against arbitrariness on the part of the government, which cannot act in violation of the requirements of the law. Thanks to the law as an expression of the general will, relative property equality can also be achieved. Rousseau solved the problem of the effectiveness of the means of control over the activities of the government, substantiated the rationality of the adoption of laws by the people themselves, considered the problem of social inequality and recognized the possibility of its legislative solution. It was not without the influence of Rousseau's ideas that new democratic institutions arose, such as a referendum, a popular legislative initiative, and such political demands as a possible reduction in the term of deputy powers, a mandatory mandate, and the recall of deputies by voters.
Slide 35
Compositions Leaving aside special treatises on botany, music, languages, as well as Rousseau's literary works - poems, comedies and letters, one can divide the rest of Rousseau's writings into three groups (chronologically they follow one after another in this order): 1. convicts of the age, 2. instructions, 3. self-defense
slide 36
Pedagogical ideas Rousseau's worldview is characterized by dualism: recognition of the primordial existence of spirit and matter. In the field of epistemology - sensualist. Recognized the presence of a higher power that created the whole world. Defended the idea of equality of people, their natural rights to freedom. He advocated the elimination of large property. Small property as a result of personal labor was considered inviolable. He put forward the idea of free education, which follows nature, helps her by eliminating bad habits. Education should be natural, or nature-like, i.e. Appropriate to the age of the child, and carried out in natural conditions in the bosom of nature. He opposed authoritarianism and denied punishment, believing that children should be limited by the immutable laws of nature, and not the prohibitions of the educator. Two properties of human nature play a special role in education: the ability to perceive the world through sensations and self-love. The main factors of education. 1. Nature - ensures the development and improvement of the senses and abilities. 2. People - accustoming a person to use the development of his natural abilities, the development of the senses. 3. Objects - encountering things enriches the child's personal experience. The task of the educator. Tactfully, imperceptibly for the child, direct all his activities, form his interests and views. The result of such an upbringing is a free-thinking person who lives by his own work. His concept of education J.-J. Rousseau expounded in the work in which he concentrated his reflections on the innate goodness of man: this is "Emile, or On Education" (1762), a treatise that he considered the best and most important of his works and in which his pedagogical views are expressed through artistic images. It should be noted that no other work devoted to the upbringing of children, either before or after Emil, had such a strong influence on the development of pedagogical thought.
Slide 37
Slide 38
Rousseau's music belongs to several musical works, including operas. Rousseau's most significant and well-known musical composition is the opera The Village Sorcerer (Fr. LeDevinduVillage), written under the influence of the Italian opera school on his own French libretto. The first performance of the opera took place on 10 October 1752 at Fontainebleau in the presence of the king. Interestingly, the libretto of Rousseau's opera, freely translated into German, formed the basis of W. A. Mozart's opera Bastien et Bastienne.
Slide 39
In the summer of 1777, Rousseau's health began to inspire fear in his friends. In the spring of 1778, one of them, the Marquis de Girardin, took him to his dacha in Chateau de Ermenonville. At the end of June a concert was arranged for him on an island in the middle of a park; Rousseau asked to be buried in this place. On July 2, Rousseau died suddenly.

Two styles: baroque and classicism The heyday of landscape gardening art An individual approach to man The world is a contradictory, changeable unity A different perception of nature The heyday of large national art schools in Italy, Flanders, Spain, France, Holland.
The heyday of gardening art - regular "French" parks, landscape "English" parks with bosquets, alleys, parterres and reservoirs of geometrically regular shapes with their rectilinear paths and curly shapes of carefully trimmed bushes emphasized the absolute control of man over nature. a picturesque composition like a natural landscape with lawns affirms the highest value of that art which is indistinguishable from nature.
Development of fine arts Expansion of themes, development of new independent genres or development and deepening of those that already existed in the Renaissance Increased interest in the individual personality, in all the features of its physical appearance and character, emphasized attention to the inner world of a person Rise of portrait art Development of a psychological portrait.
Perception of reality Artists of the 17th century perceive reality more whole. Now a prominent place in art is occupied by genres that were not previously common, for example, the genre of everyday life, the image of animals, still life.

But still, in spite of everything, they wanted to believe that thanks to the mind and the best spiritual qualities of people, goodness would triumph in the world.
