80 Pages : pbk. 30 cm. French painting evolved from religious and classical themes to bold modern experimentation. Early periods focused on academic realism and history painting, then moved into Romanticism (emotion, drama) and Realism (everyday life). In the 19th century, France became the center of art with Impressionism, emphasizing light and color, followed by Post-Impressionism and Symbolism. The 20th century brought major modern movements like Cubism, Fauvism, and Surrealism, with artists constantly pushing artistic boundaries and influencing global art.
