10. What is meant by the phrase “a taste for the natural” in terms of 18 century art? Identify<br />
th<br />
TWO characteristics implied by this taste.
Some possible answers include:<br />
• Rejection of the artificial or artifice of rococo<br />
• rejection of the aristocracy<br />
• desire for moral paintings<br />
• desire for paintings about the middle and lower classes<br />
• the influence of Roussea – desire for simplicity and the primitive<br />
NOTE THAT NATURALISM IS NOT A CORRECT <strong>ANSWER</strong>; also note that pastel portraits<br />
reflect the desire for the natural but they are not a characteristic of the taste for the natural<br />
11. Why did the Royal Academy of Art invent the genre of the fête-galante?<br />
1 point if half the answer is given; two points for both halves<br />
1)To admit Watteau and 2) to de-politicize his painting Embarkation to Cythera<br />
You might also have said that the Academy was faced with an unfamiliar genre and created<br />
the category specifically for Watteau. You did need to mention the artist’s name for full<br />
credit.<br />
12. What invention contributes to the increasing popularity of the pastel portrait and how<br />
does it do this?<br />
• Easier to make pastel crayons (only 1 point)<br />
• invention of glass (only 1 point)<br />

an oil painting (2 points)<br />

19 - <strong>20</strong>. Both Poussin and Claude are French baroque landscape painters but their landscapes<br />
are generally very different.<br />
What is the correct term for Poussin’s landscapes? Heroic landscapes; grand manner<br />
landscape (either is acceptable) (1 pt)<br />
What is the correct term for Claude’s? Pastoral landscape is correct but I accepted poetic<br />
landscape for this question (it is not a new type of painting; therefore not accepted for<br />
<strong>questions</strong> 5-8) (1 pt)<br />
What characteristics make them different? (2 of the following for 2 points)<br />
Poussin includes classical/heroic narratives – there are usually people and architecture in the
painting – the narrative has an important meaning<br />
the landscape and architecture together have a structured, composed quality<br />
Claude creates more lyrical, natural scenes; when people are present, they are not the<br />
source of meaning; atmospheric use of light (as opposed to the clarity of Poussin)<br />
EC: (2 points) Why do regional differences become less noticeable or prominent in the 17 th<br />
century?<br />
Some of the following:<br />
Artists are traveling to other countries and are influenced by a broader selection of art<br />
Print materials make it easier for artists to see other art works.<br />
Kings (like Philip) have large collections of art from different regions and artists who have<br />
access to the King’s collection see more art<br />
