1. The Lady of Shallot

John William Waterhouse, 1888

Romanticism because it references a poem that was popular during that time and the woman’s' emotions are very evident.

  1. The Oath of the Horatii

Jacques-Loius David, 1784-85

Neoclassicism because it references a classical story.  While there is emotion it is very contained and intellectual.

  1. The Voyage of Life: Childhood

Thomas Cole, 1842

Romanticism because it show the wonder and vastness of nature over classical architecture.

  1. Socrates

Jacques-Louis David

Neoclassical because it is a classical (meaning Greek or roman) figure.  Even though he is dying he is very calm about his death and is philosophizing until the very end.  It presents a moral and a heroic figure.
