1
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:07,059
So today we are going to talk about the artistic production and we are going to end with the 18th century.

2
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:13,560
After the artistic production, what we have left is Spain in the 18th century.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,519
But the main characteristics of the 18th century end here with the artistic production.

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,260
We are going to see two main artistic styles.

5
00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:25,480
The first one is the Rococo.

6
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:32,359
and this rococo as you are going to see is an artistic style that is going to show the

7
00:00:32,359 --> 00:00:38,759
wealthiness of the aristocratic the aristocracy it means the wealthiness of the rich people in

8
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:46,520
the 18th century okay so this rococo is going to be characterized by reflects reflecting the tastes

9
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,640
of aristocracy so it is going to be a french style it's going to appear in france and it's

10
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:00,679
going to spread all over Europe in the 18th century so that's the idea the Rococo is an artistic style

11
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:06,359
it's going to appear in the 18th century in France and it's going to spread all over Europe and the

12
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:12,519
main characteristic is that it's going to reflect the taste of the aristocracy it means the wealthiness

13
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:18,439
of the aristocracy you know we are going to see now so the first characteristic is going to be

14
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:23,099
Elegant and ornate. It means decorative. It means they are going to have a lot of

15
00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:30,060
Decorative motives. Okay, for example, this is more neoclassical than than rococo

16
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,620
Okay, but you are going to see that they are using this a golden

17
00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:39,780
color they are going to show how rich they are a

18
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,640
Truly rococo image would be this

19
00:01:43,379 --> 00:01:44,680
Okay

20
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,680
Everything is full of

21
00:01:47,019 --> 00:01:53,959
different decorative motifs and the chairs are decorated and the lamp and

22
00:01:55,060 --> 00:02:00,900
You see the curves. Okay, the the lines that they are going to form our curves

23
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:07,879
Okay, and what we are going to see is that they are going to show how rich they are the golden colors

24
00:02:08,219 --> 00:02:09,259
Okay

25
00:02:09,259 --> 00:02:10,360
marble

26
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,199
in the frameworks of the of the

27
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:22,300
doors etc so what they are going to show is how wealthy is the aristocracy in the

28
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:28,580
18th century and this artistic style is going to appear in the 18th century in

29
00:02:28,580 --> 00:02:33,860
France okay this is another example you see how

30
00:02:33,860 --> 00:02:40,479
everything is goldy okay everything is with golden frameworks or a gold color

31
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:50,159
okay everywhere showing how powerful how rich they are second as I said the

32
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:56,400
wealth of the aristocracy is going to be shown in this type of artistic style

33
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:05,180
again gold everywhere this is the basic color gold and also in the in the

34
00:03:05,180 --> 00:03:11,280
paintings what we are going to see is the aristocracy represented in in the

35
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:17,400
free time it means that they are enjoying games or they are enjoying their

36
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:25,139
free time okay for example here we have part of the aristocracy the bourgeoisie

37
00:03:25,139 --> 00:03:31,000
that they are going to be hunting that is one of the activities on the free

38
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,960
time okay and we are going to see how wealthy they are because of the dress

39
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:48,530
because of the colors, because of the clothes, etc. Remember curves and

40
00:03:48,530 --> 00:03:55,110
asymmetry in the ornamentation or the decoration. So what you are going to see

41
00:03:55,110 --> 00:04:00,770
here with this guy is kissing this woman, that is part of the aristocracy

42
00:04:00,770 --> 00:04:07,129
of course because of the dress. You can see how her body is making an S, so what

43
00:04:07,129 --> 00:04:12,889
you see is the curves and as you can see there is no symmetry is asymmetric okay

44
00:04:12,889 --> 00:04:19,790
with trace a line in the middle of the other painting what we are going to see

45
00:04:19,790 --> 00:04:26,290
is that there is no symmetry or in the architecture you are going to see the

46
00:04:26,290 --> 00:04:31,610
lines that they are curved okay everything is full of decorative motifs

47
00:04:31,610 --> 00:04:40,790
And here maybe you can find some symmetric motifs, but of course the curves are going

48
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:48,329
to be the most outstanding elements.

49
00:04:48,329 --> 00:04:53,100
So this is rococo.

50
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,839
And finally what we are going to see is light colors like pastel.

51
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,660
For example this one you see that they are light colors, it's not really dark, they are

52
00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:12,040
soft they are giving us a quiet and calm moment again the same here okay they are

53
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,920
resting they are in their free time and they are giving us or they are showing

54
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:29,860
us their bright colors their light colors and how happy they are also we

55
00:05:29,860 --> 00:05:34,939
are going to talk about neoclassicism okay is the second type of the second

56
00:05:34,939 --> 00:05:42,860
artistic style this artistic style is going to be a reaction against the rococo is going to be

57
00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:50,500
against of this uh the decoration of the rococo the excess of decoration in rococo and is going

58
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:59,459
to as you can see neo means new classicism means classic so what they are going to do is to return

59
00:05:59,459 --> 00:06:08,579
or to return to the classical decoration and motifs from Greek and

60
00:06:08,579 --> 00:06:15,480
Roman era. So the idea is an artistic style that is going to react

61
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,079
against the excessive decoration of the Rococo style, perfect, and this style is

62
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:23,939
going to be influenced by the simplicity and rationality of classical art.

63
00:06:23,939 --> 00:06:31,259
classical art means Rome and Greece okay the unseen Rome and unseen Greek or

64
00:06:31,259 --> 00:06:37,620
unseen Greece sorry so the idea is this neoclassicism that means new classicism

65
00:06:37,620 --> 00:06:42,720
means that they are going to recover the simplicity and rationality of this

66
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:49,500
classical art from Greece and Rome and they are going to react again against

67
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:53,040
this excessive decoration.

68
00:06:53,040 --> 00:07:04,180
So let's see, for example, this arc is going to be in Paris, this is the triumph arc of

69
00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:10,379
Paris, it's created during the Napoleon era, and as you can see, what we are going to see

70
00:07:10,379 --> 00:07:18,560
is that there is not that much decoration, we are going to see the symmetry and the influence

71
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,879
from the classical architecture or the greek and roman architecture remember

72
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:32,000
this triumph arcs came from the roman empire so this type

73
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
of construction was built in the roman era

74
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,160
but in the 18th 19th century they are going to start building again

75
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:54,160
these triumph arcs in order to imitate the Roman era. Remember Napoleon is going to be an emperor

76
00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:01,439
and he wants to make reference to the Roman emperors in the ancient era. So what you are

77
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:09,199
going to see here is the characteristics of this simplicity and rationality of the classical art,

78
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:16,399
symmetry not that much decoration okay and trying to imitate these roman constructions

79
00:08:19,339 --> 00:08:23,339
so it's going to be inspired by the creco roman style as i said for example this

80
00:08:23,339 --> 00:08:29,339
uh this church this is the pantheon the agrippa that is going to be in rome and as you can see

81
00:08:31,579 --> 00:08:37,019
what we are going to see is all these elements not the pediment and the um

82
00:08:37,019 --> 00:08:47,519
and the columns that they are going to be similar in both cases okay also what you need to talk

83
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:52,740
about is the symmetry okay it's going to be symmetric as you can see so what we are going

84
00:08:52,740 --> 00:09:05,940
to see in the 18th century is how the how the this artistic style is imitating the Roman and

85
00:09:05,940 --> 00:09:12,740
and Greek constructions, okay? So the pediment, so you can see the columns, so you can see there is

86
00:09:12,740 --> 00:09:18,980
not that much decoration in the outside, some statues that they are going to imitate the

87
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:26,179
Roman ones, and the symmetric and the proportion of the construction, the symmetry and the proportion

88
00:09:26,179 --> 00:09:34,720
of the construction. There is going to be a sober ornamentation, it means not that much ornamentation,

89
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:40,320
okay it means that there is not going to be ornamentation at all this is the british museum in

90
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,480
in great britain in london and you can see here the the pediment with the

91
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,639
statues inside and the reliefs inside sorry and also the columns but you can see there is not that

92
00:09:52,639 --> 00:10:00,960
much decoration okay this is neoclassicism okay it's not classical because they are imitating

93
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:09,669
the roman and greek architecture and this is for example in aranjuez what you can see is the

94
00:10:09,669 --> 00:10:16,789
symmetry the perfect symmetry you can see how we have a straight straight lines okay we see that

95
00:10:16,789 --> 00:10:24,629
there is not that much ornamentation or decoration so this is neoclassical too rationality because

96
00:10:24,629 --> 00:10:31,750
what we see is the symmetry and also how they form this the straight lines form the different

97
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:40,019
squares and of course they are going to create public buildings like the triumph

98
00:10:40,019 --> 00:10:44,659
parks or the museum the british museum

99
00:10:44,659 --> 00:10:48,340
those are public buildings that everyone can visit or can

100
00:10:48,340 --> 00:10:53,460
yes can visit now we need to talk about the painting and later on

101
00:10:53,460 --> 00:10:57,620
the sculpture so let's talk about the painting

102
00:10:57,620 --> 00:11:01,779
it's going to be inspired by this order and balance of the classical art

103
00:11:01,779 --> 00:11:08,659
okay so you can see here napoleon he's riding the horse he's crossing the alps okay and he's

104
00:11:08,659 --> 00:11:14,100
imitating a roman emperor remember he's going to be an emperor so he is going to imitate

105
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:22,980
a roman emperor here is a marco aurelio riding his horse okay what you can see is here this um

106
00:11:22,980 --> 00:11:30,740
the arm is in the same position they are both riding a horse and he this painting

107
00:11:30,740 --> 00:11:37,740
is imitating the order and balance of this other this Roman production okay

108
00:11:37,740 --> 00:11:43,840
this Roman sculpture but here in a painting okay so both emperors both

109
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:51,100
making the same gesture both riding the horse both leading their troops to the

110
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:59,389
triumph they are going to represent my mythological and historical themes for

111
00:11:59,389 --> 00:12:05,149
example here you have Socrates okay Socrates is going to drink the poison

112
00:12:05,149 --> 00:12:14,690
okay so what we see is how all the students or the followers of Socrates

113
00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:22,590
they are starting to cry because he is going to die because of the poison okay

114
00:12:22,590 --> 00:12:25,090
he is going, the trial

115
00:12:25,090 --> 00:12:26,389
a trial has

116
00:12:26,389 --> 00:12:30,909
established, you see

117
00:12:30,909 --> 00:12:32,950
that Socrates must

118
00:12:32,950 --> 00:12:34,929
die, so he is going to

119
00:12:34,929 --> 00:12:36,830
accept the law, even

120
00:12:36,830 --> 00:12:38,769
when to accept the law means

121
00:12:38,769 --> 00:12:40,870
to die, so what he

122
00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:42,870
is showing with his finger

123
00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:44,970
and his arm is, I'm going to accept

124
00:12:44,970 --> 00:12:46,990
the law, even I know

125
00:12:46,990 --> 00:12:48,409
this law is not fair

126
00:12:48,409 --> 00:12:50,850
but I'm going to follow the law

127
00:12:50,850 --> 00:12:52,350
and I'm going to drink the poison

128
00:12:52,590 --> 00:13:13,590
So that's the idea, the idea of a Socrates that is going to accept his destiny, that is going to accept the law, but showing to everyone that he is following the law even when he feels that this law is not fair, is unfair, sin justa.

129
00:13:13,590 --> 00:13:19,129
So, that's why these paintings express moral values.

130
00:13:19,129 --> 00:13:23,870
Socrates is expressing a moral value, I'm going to follow the law, is giving an example,

131
00:13:23,870 --> 00:13:29,769
I'm going to follow the law even when I know that this law is unfair and means that I'm

132
00:13:29,769 --> 00:13:34,100
going to be dead in a few minutes.

133
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:40,840
And finally the sculpture, we are going to see mythological themes too, ok?

134
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:51,259
is Perseo with the head of Medusa. You see how they keep the Roman proportions of the body,

135
00:13:52,379 --> 00:13:58,779
and they are going to use marble in order to produce these sculptures.

136
00:14:00,379 --> 00:14:08,139
Second, they are going to create these portraits and funerary monuments. You see there is not that

137
00:14:08,139 --> 00:14:13,720
much decoration what you are going to see is this sculptures that some of them

138
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:20,379
are mythological they are going to imitate okay the Roman and

139
00:14:20,379 --> 00:14:31,139
Greek productions also in the clothes they are wearing so the influence of the

140
00:14:31,139 --> 00:14:39,250
Greek and Roman culture is complete and they are going to convey beauty and

141
00:14:39,250 --> 00:14:49,509
perfection for example here okay in in this in this sculpture what we have is

142
00:14:49,509 --> 00:14:54,870
here is Ganymede and here is a falcon this falcon is

143
00:14:54,870 --> 00:15:07,350
Zeus okay so Ganymede is a Trojan young man he was supposed to be

144
00:15:07,350 --> 00:15:13,830
really beautiful so Zeus or Theus is going to fall in love with him so he is

145
00:15:13,830 --> 00:15:18,750
going to turn he's going to transform into a falcon in order to capture him

146
00:15:18,750 --> 00:15:24,570
and keep Nate him to the Olympus I'll Olympus no no sequester is really

147
00:15:24,570 --> 00:15:30,070
learning and Ganymede's in the Olympus is going to be the one that is going to

148
00:15:30,070 --> 00:15:37,070
use a cup he's going to give the cups to the to drink to the different gods

149
00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:45,590
and also Ganymedes is going to be the lover of Zeus so as you can see they are

150
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:51,549
representing the bodies are the Greeks and Romans used to do and they are

151
00:15:51,549 --> 00:15:56,309
representing mythological themes and as you can see

152
00:15:56,309 --> 00:16:04,779
beauty and proportion are respected and they are going to make productions in

153
00:16:04,779 --> 00:16:14,159
marble and bronze like here, Perseo or Ganymedes. And that would be it related with the art.

154
00:16:14,159 --> 00:16:18,340
The last video is going to be related with Spain in the 18th century and we will finish

155
00:16:18,340 --> 00:16:19,000
with this unit.
