/kloc-the angel went to Italy in 0/806 and returned to Paris in 0/824. Later, in 1834- 184 1 year, he went to Rome to study the works of Italian classical masters in the Renaissance, especially Raffaello Santi. After the education of dawit and Italian classical traditions, Angel has a deeper understanding of classical law. After dawit's exile in Belgium, he became the standard-bearer of French neoclassicism and contended with romanticism.
As a representative of neoclassicism in the19th century, he represented a conservative academic school, which was in opposition to the emerging romantic painting school at that time and formed a sharp school dispute. Angel does not rigidly copy the style of ancient masters, but is good at grasping the plastic beauty of classical art and integrating this classical beauty into nature. He got a simple and simple style from classical beauty, and always took winkelmann's "quiet greatness, sublime simplicity" as the principle. His paintings have absorbed the heritage of Italian painting and ancient Greek pottery decorative painting in the15th century, paying attention to line modeling, especially being good at portrait painting. In terms of specific techniques, he "strives for clean lines and smooth shapes", so almost every painting strives for rigorous composition, simple colors and elegant images. These characteristics are particularly prominent in his series of paintings that show the beauty of human nature, such as Spring, Maid-in-waiting, Bathroom of Wapingsong and Turkey Cabin.
1805, Angel completed the painting "Portrait of Lady Riviere", which is undoubtedly one of Angel's representative works in color. Even colors are combined harmoniously like mosaics. Colors show some ups and downs, but they don't resort to shadows. Ivory white highlights the body and clothes to form the light-receiving part of the picture, and the dark blue sofa forms the shadow part of the picture. Both colors blend into the black background. Small changes in red and yellow are harmless to the overall effect. The expression of personality and simplicity, light and shade and simplicity-these are all things that make this portrait have a beautiful taste. This work was exhibited in the salon of 1806, but its "unique, revolutionary and gothic" style attracted the anger of many critics. After that, Angel went to Italy, where he studied the paintings of Florence in the15th century, in order to improve his style to the level of the Renaissance and transform the paintings at that time. He once said: "Art that has not been pondered in the early stage of art development is sometimes more beautiful than art that has reached perfection in terms of its foundation." At that time, he was deeply attracted by medieval art.
1824, Angel opened his own school in Paris, and all the young people who pursued primitivism turned to him. He pursued a straightforward and pure primitive style, took religious painting as his favorite genre and was interested in the Renaissance in the Middle Ages. He believed that the way to make artistic sounds was through the Greeks and Raffaello Santi (Raphael
Santi, 1483- 1520) studies nature and pays attention to the description of details, mainly striving for clean lines and flat shapes. He emphasizes the beauty of innocence and indifference, which is contrary to David's artistic view. Angel undoubtedly poured more emotion and enthusiasm into his attitude towards ancient Greece.
Angel's reputation was in full swing, which was the era when classicism came to an end and romanticism rose. He had many arguments with Delacroix, the representative figure of neo-romanticism. Romanticism emphasizes the use of color, while classicism emphasizes the integrity of outline and the rigor of composition. The Academy of Fine Arts, controlled by anger, scoffed at the new painting style and formed an academic style.
Angel was famous before his death and was buried in the famous Father Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
Angel worships Greek and Roman art and Raphael, and defends classical laws like David, but he also shows a strong interest in medieval and oriental exoticism, so he is dramatically classified as romantic by some art historians.
Angel is a man who loves nature. Angel studied nature before seeking advice from the Greeks and Raphael. He once asserted: "The Greeks are natural; Raphael is Raphael because he knows nature better than others. " But Angel can't completely give up the treatment of light and shade. He also uses strong, too bright and unreal colors to make up for the cold colors in his works. In this case, when we look at Angel's paintings, we usually think the lines are too clean. It is this cleanliness of lines that leads Angel to abstraction, which will make the picture lack of content. But in order to express the light and shade and reflect (to enrich the content of the work), he will also interrupt the lines and make them "painterly". However, in this "painting style" as hard as metal, there is no fluency and "soul" necessary for the general "painting style". For example, Paul and Francesca wrote it in 18 19. When his lines became too accurate, he drowned it with details and painted a bunch of purely vulgar and interesting decorations. But when he imitated Titian, he was like Raphael, and his works became precious masterpieces. After his first visit to Rome, he perfected his painting style, more and more masterpieces appeared, and his art reached its peak.
