•

•
•
•
•
•
•
key changes in the representation of the human body (from the Renaissance to the
present
changes in portraits and self-portraits
expanding range of types (genres) of paintings; increased range of subject matter
developments toward and away from naturalism
major differences between periods of art with respect to who the audience is (who
looks at it and who commissions and/or buys it: note that these are not always the
same) and what types of subjects dominate these periods
changing roles of patronage and the artist’s relationship to the public
Study suggestion: identify the key characteristics of the rococo style, the neoclassical, the
moral genre, realism, romanticism, and impressionism. Which artists are associated with
each? What subject matter? What visual qualities are most characteristic? Make a table
which looks something like this and complete it as you study:
key artists,
if style; key
paintings, if
artist is
listed
subject matter: why
this focus? Is there
a general meaning
to the type of
subject chosen?
characteristics
of the
composition
which earlier
movement
does it
resemble?
rococo
neoclassical
moral genre
romanticism
[continue with other
styles OR list
individual artists]
period-styles to recognize:
early Renaissance
Classical Renaissance
Mannerism
Baroque
Rococo
Neoclassical
Realism
Romanticism
Impressionism
be able to identify works by these artists:
Leonardo
Caravaggio
Titian
Vermeer
Monet
Cassatt
Renoir
Daumier
Delacroix
As in previous exams, I will try to structure the questions so that the answers will be brief.
This probably means that I will list characteristics for a movement and ask you which ones
belong and which ones do not. I may ask you to give one or two reasons for the
emergence of something in art or to identify one important difference between two
movements, and so on. You should be prepared to think concisely and get to the point
quickly.
My plan for the exam format is this:
I. 25 - 40 id’s (these will come from the image list on this sheet and from works by the
artists listed above from earlier units
II. A checklist of style characteristics, artworks, and artists which you match to the correct
style or period
III. T/F statements and very short answer questions
IV. Images not previously seen: to identify by style or by artist
Remember that the final is worth 150 points:it will be longer than previous exams.
