Discussion: Three Pieces from Romanticism
"Apotheosis of Homer" by Ingres
"Stormy Coast Scene after Shipwreck" by Emile-Jean-Horace Vernet
"The Raft of the Medusa" by Gericault
These areas are explored:
1. An explanation of how the works fit into the context of the time period.
2. Compare the works mentioned in form, content, and subject matter. Using the terminology and concepts that you have learned in the course, explain the similarities and differences in the styles of the works and the context in which they were made. Compare and contrast their aesthetic qualities and symbolic significance, as well as the artists' points of view. Include your personal thoughts in the paper, and support your ideas with references.
