This book, "European Painting," offers a visual overview of European painting between 1750 and 1880, a period of intense transformation in which artists explored new ways of representing the world, influenced by profound political, social, and cultural changes. This book is a visual journey through a century of creativity, encompassing Neoclassicism, with its return to the sobriety and harmony inspired by classical antiquity, to Romanticism, which prioritized emotion and imagination, and Realism, which sought to depict everyday life with unprecedented honesty. Artistic Movements and Key Figures: During the second half of the 18th century, Neoclassicism emerged as a reaction against the decorative excesses of the Rococo, promoting an aesthetic based on reason, proportion, and idealism. Figures such as Jacques-Louis David marked this movement with works that extolled civic values and morality. As the 19th century progressed, Romanticism burst onto the scene, challenging rational ideals and focusing on the sublime, the exotic, and the emotional. Artists such as Francisco de Goya, Eugène Delacroix, and J.M.W. Turner captured the drama, intensity, and passion of a constantly changing Europe on their canvases. By the mid-19th century, Realism had emerged as a direct response to the idealism of Romanticism. Led by artists like Gustave Courbet and Jean-François Millet, this movement depicted everyday life with a critical and unadorned eye, reflecting the social conditions of the time. However, by 1880, new trends were beginning to emerge, laying the foundations for modernity in art. This book, "European Painting," brings together some of the most emblematic works of this period, presenting a detailed analysis of each movement and key artist. Through high-quality reproductions and explanatory texts, the reader can immerse themselves in a century of pictorial innovation that transformed European art and laid the foundations of modern painting
