Wege in die Romantik - von Eugene Delacroix bis Francisco de Goya

In the organizer's words:

At the beginning of the 19th century, artistic styles began to overlap in time and could no longer be clearly distinguished from one another across Europe. The increased development of nationalisms led to the most diverse forms of "art styles" in the respective countries.

Art historian Thomas R. Hoffmann would like to use the 2024/25 Urania season for an art tour through a century full of upheavals and revolutions to present the diverse art movements of the 19th century and pose questions about the different ways in which they can be read.

Where did the stylistic influences originate? What are the role models and inspirations in the respective countries and nations? Where are the similarities, where are the differences? How are the historical developments and historical upheavals connected to the artistic styles?

An exciting tableau of images will form the backdrop for approaching the respective art movements.

This lecture approaches the Romantics and spans the arc from France via England and Russia to the German-speaking regions.
