This is a 2 in 1 assignment - NO PLAGARISM
Pick a Baroque artist and do some of your own research on him or her.
You should include basic biographical information about the artist, as well as information about their medium (where they a painter? sculptor?) and their style. Also, include an example of their work, with at least one picture.
Discuss the example in relation to the artist's style. You should include the source(s) from which you get your information, whether that is the textbook or elsewhere (and don't use Wikipedia! Use appropriate, reliable sources).
Pick an artist from the list below:
Frans Hals
Judith Leyster
Jan Vermeer
Jacob van Ruisdael
Maria van Oosterwyck
Anthony van Dyck
Pietro da Cortona
Giovanni Battista Gaulli
Nicolas Poussin
Conduct a bit more research on another Romantic or Realist painter we haven't discussed in the class materials.
Especially discuss the style (either Romantic or Realist) of your artist, and how the two styles are different (or similar; these styles often merged in many ways, and some artists were called both Romanticists and Realists simultaneously).
Also think about the country your artist is from, and how his or her style reflects that culture.
This discussion board is meant to deepen your understanding of Romanticism and Realism by facilitating a full class discussion about additional examples of each style.
Pick from Romantic Artists: or Realist Artists:
Caspar David Friedrich
Jean-Francois Millet
John Constable
Honore Daumier
Joseph Mallord
