The PromptRespond to the following discussion question for this module. Chapter 30 covers a very turbulent time in western art.  In Europe, it was a time that the aristocratic rulers lost power through revolutions and social change challenged long-held beliefs and living conditions, and ways of life.  This was not a time of calm, successive movements but a time when counter points of view coexisted and clashed.  Specifically, the ideas of the Enlightenment and of Romanticism.  For this prompt, please choose one piece of work from either style and discuss it using the four types of art historical analysis.  Please include what aspects of the piece show Enlightenment ideas or Romantic characteristics. Please support your opinion with other examples of art from this chapter.  Remember to include an image of the work of art you are discussing.
