What does it look like when a nation shifts from royal courts to revolutionary ideals? In 18th and early 19th century France, sweeping changes in power, privilege, and philosophy reshaped not only the fabric of society, but the very form and function of its art. Get ready to explore how this charged cultural landscape gave rise to some of the most powerful and enduring artistic movements in European history.

Join New York Adventure Club for a two-part series exploring how the artistic trends of France shaped Western art before and after the French Revolution. In Part Two: Art After the French Revolution, we’ll follow the dramatic shift away from the courtly frivolity of the aristocracy and into an age of political messaging, heroic idealism, and emotional intensity — from Neo-Classicism to Romanticism and the rise of Realism.

Led by art historian, museum educator, and lecturer Mariska Beekenkamp-Wladimiroff, this art-centric virtual journey will feature:

• A breakdown of major post-revolutionary art movements: Neo-Classicism, Romanticism, and Realism, and how they contrast with earlier styles
• How artists responded to the Revolution and rise of Napoleon, using art as political propaganda, personal expression, or social critique
• The evolving role of the artist, from court painter to independent voice, navigating a new France without royal patronage
• Iconic works and artists that defined the era, including David’s revolutionary canvases, Géricault’s drama, and Courbet’s realism
• Key historical influences on style and subject matter, such as Napoleon’s campaigns, the rise of nationalism, and shifting class structures

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Mariska — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
