English painting from 1260 to debut late XVIIIth

Résumé du document

In many countries, arts schools met with a block. Instead it is the freedom of individual talent that is the specificity of English painting. We see it fully realized, with Hogarth, and strive to reflect all of society. With Gainsborough, it expresses the heart of his poetic sensibility. Constable and Turner cover the scope of his love of infinitely romantic landscape. Nothing connects to classicism and its perfection of a different order elsewhere that in Europe. It has neither the grandeur of Renaissance or Baroque, nor the aesthetic rigor of thought of French painting. It is rather complex due to socio-economic changes that mark a clear shift from one period to another. English painting is first the fact of painters from the continent, although as they are inseparable from the English art. It nevertheless increased national causes of major exhibitions of 18th and early 19th century. We consider that the English school begins with the reign of the Tudors. In rejecting the authority of the pope in 1534, and ordering the dissolution of the monasteries in 1536, Henry VIII put an end to the tradition of sacred art as it was practiced in monasteries in the middle Ages.
