Wege in die Schule von Barbizon - von Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot bis Jean-François Millet

In the organizer's words:

At the beginning of the 19th century, artistic styles began to overlap in time and could no longer be clearly distinguished from one another across Europe. The rise of nationalism led to the most diverse forms of "art styles" in the respective countries.

Art historian Thomas R. Hoffmann would like to use the 2024/25 Urania season for an art tour through a century of upheavals and revolutions to present the diverse art movements of the 19th century and ask questions about their different interpretations.

Where do the stylistic influences come from? What were the role models and inspirations in the individual countries and nations? Where are the similarities, where are the differences? How are historical developments and upheavals related to the artistic styles?

An exciting tableau of images forms the backdrop for approaching the respective art movements. The lecture deals with the first generation of French landscape painters who searched for new motifs in the great outdoors not far from the metropolis of Paris.
