This rise of Napoleon also triggered lavish spending, ultimately causing the French economy to suffer. “ (page 1) “The England was largely unaffected by the French Wars during the 19th century. However, much of the area ruled by the French allies in Europe suffered in the early part of the century because of Napoleon’s zeal to take over the world, England enjoyed the benefits of the Industrial Revolution, which brought prosperity, particularly from the textile industry. These technical revolution brought along with it new textile production. methods and influenced the development of European costume throughout the continent, extending to the Americas.” (page 2) “Inspired by the First Empire and coinciding with a narrower fashion period referred to as the Director that ranged from 1790 to 1800, the Empire era lasted from 1790 to 1820.
By examining the personalities of each of the palace’s residents it makes it clear to see why they added certain elements such as art and décor and animals. In addition to the personality quirks the contributed to the palace, Dunlop also observes the château’s architecture. An important fact to note is that the Château de Versailles is not considered old by European standards. However, once it was completed “than every ruler in Europe, from the Mediterranean to the Baltic, wanted a copy of it.” Dunlop goes on to say that this type of undertaking made France the cultural center of Europe just as Italy was during the Renaissance. Dunlop begins with King Louis XIV.
Francesca Ogilvie Mr. Morningstar M&C History August 29, 2012 In what ways did the Renaissance move Europe away from the medieval and toward the modern? Did the Renaissance help Europe develop and flourish as it is today? The Renaissance was a great era that opened up a chance of progress, and therefore modernization, for Europe. Although it begun in Italy, over a short period of time it had made it’s way to the north and then, eventually, influenced the world in many ways. The Renaissance came after the devastating Dark Ages; where Europe lost 25 million people to the Black Death, and many lost the ability to read and write (“The Black Death”).
In 1903, Stieglitz created a magazine called “Camera Work” that was completely devoted to photography and contained only photographic images in it (Greenough, Sarah). Stieglitz had a greater impact on American Art than any other artist had. In The Hand of Man, I see the industrious picture being related to the “Jungle” by Upton Sinclair and the Industrial revolution because it contains very modern objects such as the train or the factory while also having smoke, which provides you with a sense of belief that there is pollution caused by all this. Stieglitz was not afraid to show off this picture and is well known for his modern art exhibits and ideals about art and how it relates to the Industrial age. The Hand of Man was first published in January 1903 in the inaugural issue of Camera Work.
There was movement away from the old ways which concerned the collective and towards what was best for the individual. The move towards a more humanist or autonomous society was common in Europe during this period. It was also a period of population growth. During the late nineteenth century there were very similar patterns of population growth on the continent, a change that disproved the Malthusian concept of population growth and sustainability. The growth of ones population was
In many countries all over the world more or less similar steam engined automobiles have been constructed in this period. From 1828 on many inventors have been developing electric vehicles with a peak in production and sales in the first decennium of the 20th century.The electric cars had only a low range of travelling distance. This was a big disadvantage in this period of extension of road infrastructure. The electric car lost the battle against the petrol powered car but at the end of the 20th century new developments in electric car techniques have given this type of car new possibilities. Probably the most important change in the history of the automobile was the invention of the four stroke petrol engine by Nikolaus Otto in 1867.
As traditional art forms had become outdates due to industrialization. It seems like the term “modernism” has been a conflicting term in the academic world. This is because the term “modernism” acquires a different scope and penetration in each different academic discipline. The inception of modern music typically located at the close of the 19th century, while to talk modern in English literature is to focus upon a relatively highly influential body of work produced in the first two decades of the 20th century. In the history of art, on the other hand, the student of modernism can expect to run a gamut from the French painting of the 1860s to the American art of a century later and may even be directed as far back as the later 18th century (Modernism, 2003).
[pic] [pic] Fig1.Old Underground map, before Beck, 1926 Fig2.Redesigned Underground map, 1933 To begin with, when Harry Beck redesigned the old tube map, he did not only changed the map, but also superseded the insurmountable difficulties that customers had with getting a grip of how the trains on the Underground run. Harry Beck´s redesigned London Tube map was submitted in 1931 and its first publication was given out in 1933. Straightaway, new version increased the number of the customers of the tube and steered much-needed new passengers to the underground. Beck achieved the clarity and simplicity of the map by straightening the lines, using the basic colors and the lines ran only vertically,
Literary analysis: Modernism Between the late 19th century and early 20th century, modernism was a movement in arts, cultural tendencies, and associated cultural movements which centered around Europe. It was shaped by the development of industries, growth of cities and the negative effects of World War I. Modernists rejected the Enlightenment era thinking and realism like the romantics. Also, they combined the idea of idealist and realist instead of taking one side like the Romantics and the Victorians. The short novella “Heart of Darkness” by Joseph Conrad the modern novelist was considered as the beginning of the “Early Modernism” because the author described and mentioned many stories with modern themes and content in a modernist literature tones and forms. The novella “Heart of Darkness” was considered as the beginning of the “Early Modernism”.
Similarities and Differences between American and European Values Kat L SOC 315 Professor Norsworthy November 22, 2013 Similarities and Differences between American and European Values Although the demographics of the United States (U.S.) are extremely diverse and ever- changing, approximately eighty-percent of American citizens are of European descent. So this means that we as Americans have the same values as our European counterparts, right? Not necessarily. This paper will examine the similarities of our U.S. values and beliefs, as well as explore the differences that make us unique. The U.S. is considered a “superpower” to other nations and its military forces are often involved in peacekeeping and humanitarian missions.
