Course objectives
European painting of the 19th century is a complex subject covering a number of different cultural areas corresponding with still more shaped nation states in the era. The lectures will be aimed at complex understanding of particular aspects of the European painting which were essential for Moravian painting of the 19th century. The lectures will be focused especially on painting in France. In the 19th century, Paris was the main centre of decisive influence for contemporary painting in a global context. French art of the 19th century had a big impact on development of painting in Germany and the Central Europe. Paris was a crucial destination for a number of Moravian painters too. The lectures will be focused on painting of the 19th century in the United Kingdom too. British painting had a special creative impact on art in the Continental Europe. To a lesser extent, the lectures will pursue painting in particular regions with an influence on global Eropean art in a particular era of the century (Belgium). Because of close connections of Munich with Vienna and Moravia German painting will be pursued in an another cycle of lectures.
