  Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875), French Realism Painter and Printmaker, was a pivotal figure, especially in his landscapes which anticipated the plein-air painting innovations of the Impressionists. He is also recognized for his portraits, print-making and etchings. Some of his landscapes have an amazing, shimmering silver quality to them.

  Neoclassic artist, Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), was an important French painter during the French Revolution and Napoleonic Era. He was an active supporter of the French Revolution and later aligned himself with Napoleon and the French Republic. His paintings are realistic and classical in style with sculptural severity. His type of history painting was a change from the frivolities of Rococo.

  The sculptures of Michelangelo were a major influence on Auguste Rodin (1840-1917). Like Michelangelo, Rodin worked mostly with the human figure, his figures express emotional intensity, and at times, he left his sculptures to seem unfinished, but to Rodin, they were complete. Some of his famous sculptures are The Thinker, The Kiss and The Burghers of Calais.
