Jean-Antoine Houdon (French, 1741-1828), Diana the Huntress, probably between 1776 and 1795, terra cotta, height overall 75 1/2 inches

Diana is usually represented as a huntress, dressed in a short tunic, with her bow and quiver, surrounded by nymphs or hunting dogs, sometimes accompanied by a stag. Houdon chose to show her completely naked, which caused a scandal at the time. The plaster model was made in 1776 for the Prince of Saxe-Gotha (Gotha castle).

Romanticism, and the Romantic school - An art movement and style that flourished in the early nineteenth century. It emphasized the emotions

painted in a bold, dramatic manner. Romantic artists rejected the cool reasoning of classicism — the established art of the times — to paint

pictures of nature in its untamed state, or other exotic settings filled with dramatic action, often with an emphasis on the past. Classicism was

nostalgic too, but Romantics were more emotional, usually melancholic, even melodramatically tragic.

Paintings by members of the French Romantic school include those by Théodore Géricault (French, 1791-1824) and Eugène Delacroix (French, 1798-1863), filled with rich color, energetic brushwork, and dramatic and

emotive subject matter. In England the Romantic tradition began with Henry Fuseli (Swiss-English, 1741-1825) and William Blake (1757-1827),

and culminated with Joseph M. W. Turner (1775-1851) and John Constable (1776-1837). The German landscape painter Caspar David

Friedrich (1774-1840) produced images of solitary figures placed in lonely settings amidst ruins, cemetaries, frozen, watery, or rocky wastes. And in Spain, Francisco Goya (1746-1828) depicted the horrors of war along with

aristocratic portraits.

Honoré Victorin DaumierFrench caricaturist, painter

and sculptor. He began work as a graphic artist, having

learnt lithography techniques in 1830, and been employed

on Charivari and La Caricature (1830-35) until the

latter's suppression by the government. He was

imprisoned in 1832 for his anti-monarchical satire of

Louis Philippe as Gargantua and during the course of his life he produced over 4,000 lithographs of political and social comment, including

large scale works
