Art history:
Single space, 10-12 font size, standard margins, one to two pages.

For this exercise I’m giving you a new position: you are a young art dealer working for the Durand-Ruel Gallery. It was probably the most important gallery for modern painting of the 19thcentury in France. (Theo Van Gogh worked for the rival gallery Goupil).

Paul Durand-Ruel wants to increase his business in the U.S., especially anxious to sell works in the lucrative American market to American clients. He sends you to New York city branch to assist in that endeavor.

So, your task is to sell the new French styles to American buyers. Pick two paintings (from among Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, vary your choices to include 2 of different styles (1850 - 1900) and write up how you would convince prospective buyers to buy this new modern art.
Le dejeuner sur lherbe (1863) and gare saint lazare (1877)


What are the important formal characteristics of the paintings?
What’s new in what the artist is doing? What’s modern?
Are the subjects modern? How might they appeal?
Do you have a client who might appreciate something new,
​daring and different?
​Or can you make a case for continuing art traditions in this new work?

Imagine who your American clients might be (wealthy of course, but why might the new French modern painting appeal to them?) As a representative of Durand-Ruel Gallery you are a supporter of the new French painting, so convince us why it is good and why it matters!

Choose your works from the lectures and/or textbook only. Include the artist, title, date for me so I know which you have chosen.

Your text should contain the persuasive arguments you would use to convince someone to invest in this new art, and these two paintings specifically.

see explanation and i got an a btw.

Explanation:

b. The development of diseases in the sixteenth century would support the arguments of the “new generation of historians in the second paragraph because the “new generation of historians” would look at this in relation to european imperialism and see the impact of the european diseases like smallpox that would plague places like modern day united states because of the european immunity, but lack of native immunity.  

c. The “biological competition” contributed to the European imperialism in the Americas by creating a survival of the fittest environment where the europeans brought in diseases like smallpox that had plagued europe generations ago, but infected the native populations and weaken them in both their numbers and their strength, which enabled the Europeans to take control of the new world and develop a dominance while the natives were fighting a disease. This was “biological competition” because the Europeans' immunity was assisting them in fighting the natives' lack thereof.

In 1574, Akbar the emperor of the Subcontinent ordered his wazir to make a Katab-khana in the palace. This was to discover and reintroduce old texts. Books like Rajatarangini, Ramayana and Mahabharata were translated into different languages. One of these languages was Persian. After this many different old books both religious and non-religious were translated for the general public to read.

This was done to make different sects and religions stay united. His actions to a certain extent did eliminate disagreements between the people from different religions.

2.

Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak was not the person behind Akbar's policies. It was actually his favorite wife named Mariam-uz-Zamani. She was a Hindu by birth. She was born at the house of Raja Bharmal of Amber. Later, when she grew up she was married to Akber. This marriage had political benefits. Jahangir was her son. She, however, did not play any political role in the Mughal court.

A) Ethnic divisions hindered the development of land-based empires in the period 1450-1750. For example, the Manchu people in the Qing Dynasty in China sought to preserve their ethnic values while ruling China, which proved to be an obstacle for them to rule the vast majority of Han Chinese.

B) Ethnic divisions also hindered the development of maritime empires in the period 1450-1750. For example, the ethnic division between the French colonists and the Haitian people led to multiple Haitian rebellions and ultimately the Haitian Revolution against France.

C) Many land-based empires and maritime empires institutionalized hierarchical distinctions amongst different ethnic groups, often with the use of slavery. The European colonists, for instance, made African Americans the lowest class in American society by enslaving them. Similarly, Christians under Ottoman rule are recruited as janissaries. In both examples, the ruling class adopted policies that limit the social mobility of the ethnic groups that are alien to themselves.

In general, because of his numerous achievements, Akbar was awarded the epithet "the Great." The majority of Akbar's achievements military-related.
