The Enlightenment period made a huge impact not only in American culture but worldwide, the Enlightenment period was between the 1700 and 1800’s. During the Enlightenment period many new things were created such as laws, art work, and the way music was formed. There were also many people who made a huge impact during the Enlightenment period some of them include; Thomas Paine, Mary Wollstonecraft, Isaac Newton, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. There are many wonderful paintings that were around during the Enlightenment Era. One of the paintings that I really enjoyed was “The Lady of Shallot” you can view this painting at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_of_Shalott_(painting). This painting stood out to me because I believe it is different from many of the other paintings that were painted during the Enlightenment Era. I think many of the paintings that were around during the Enlightenment were very busy and often had many people in one painting, but this painting stood out because it is very calm and only has The Lady of Shallot in the painting and nobody else. This painting is an oil-on-canvas painting that was painted by John William Waterhouse in 1888. The painting measures at 200 centimeters by 153 centimeters which converted to inches is 60.2 inches by 78.7 inches. The painting is one of Waterhouse’s best known oil paintings. This painting is said to be a representation from a scene from Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s 1833 poem titled “The Lady of Shallot”. The poem “The Lady of Shallot” was built upon the Arthurian legend of Elaine of Astolat, which she was mentioned in the Italian novella titled Donna di Scalotta. Tennyson’s work was popular with many Pre-Raphaelite poets and painters. Some of the artists that illustrated pain... ... middle of paper ... ... Tennyson wrote about in his poem. I also liked the fact that Waterhouse did not only paint one painting from Tennyson’s poem but he painting three separate pieces. I enjoyed the first painting the best because you could really grasp what part of the poem Waterhouse was painting about. I also believe the first painting had a lot of emotion showed in the Lady of Shallot’s face and you could almost feel the pain and confusion she was going through at the time. Another thing that I found interesting while researching this painting was not only did Waterhouse paint three paintings titled the Lady of Shallot, there were many other artists that titled their painting The Lady of Shallot, one example would be William Holman Hunt painting that was finished in 1905. I found it amazing that one story can make such an impact in the art world during the Enlightenment period.
The painting of Fidelia and Speranza comes from a poem description by Edmund Spenser who is the Elizabeth poet. This poem is
The Enlightenment challenged what was previously thought to be the way of life. Prior to the Enlightenment whatever you were born into that was it, you were stuck and had no say in if you could receive power or money, you were the king’s subject, but the Enlightenment changed the role of the people from subject to citizen. This switch gave the people abilities that were never seen before 1450. It became a change and with the movement from subject to citizen, questions started surfacing and with those questions came action, and with that action came a new era for human rights. Human rights were improved across the board, from African Americans to women to the citizen. Without the Enlightenment some powers that needed to be changed like that of slavery may never had been

The subject’s body is facing to the right of the painting, the direction in which she holds the book. She, however, is facing directly in front, in reference to the portrait, with her gaze slightly to the right. Her left arm is hidden below the book, away from view in the painting, while her right arm rests between the pages of the book, probably near the middle of the book, as if to prevent it from closing. She is wearing a red dress, with short sleeves and a V shape in the chest area. She has two necklaces hanging from her neck. She has a red bund round her head, probably to hold her hair off her face.

Part of the thigh region can be seen but the legs are hidden off the painting. She ...

The Enlightenment period in Europe was a shift in the way that society thought about power and liberty. The ideals of this period helped to inspire the revolutions of the 18th century. The American colonies desired liberty from foreign rule, the French wanted to increase the power of the people in their class structure, and the Haitians fought for representation for the millions of slaves on their island. While the ideas of the enlightenment were not fully employed in each of these revolutions, they brought the nations closer to a fully representative government, rather than one of absolute power.
The Enlightenment itself ignited the changes in perspective that were needed to provoke improvement in society and set new standards for our future. These standards spread rather rapidly across Europe and eventually to America and challenged the old order. These ideas of rational thinking over religion and authority delivered a vast political change throughout the world which can still be felt today. These revolutionary thoughts of rationalism brought on freedom of speech and the demand for equality in society. This was not only the igniter to the French revolution but was also, how many governments including the United States based their modern
