	French art
		As the birthplace of the Gothic style, France was a centre for sculpture and manuscript illumination in the Middle Ages, and of tapestry from the 15th century.

		Their art is the matrix of a succession of brilliant phases of art from the 1890s, beginning with Symbolism (Odilon Redon, Gustave Moreau, and others) and the group les Nabis.

		Throughout the article Maraini claims that art history, a discipline concerned with aesthetic shifts, attended mainly to the cultural accomplishments of social minority groups (a term she uses to define the cultural elites) comprised of the merchant class, the bourgeoisie, the aristocracy, and the priesthood.
		French colonial women had an immediate influence on the course of the Protectorate’s educational programs including those of the vocational schools and the open workshops, and their vision was guided by the same colonial ideology that defined that of French colonial men.

	french poster history
		Bearing the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites, the Arts and Crafts Movement, and Byzantine art, this style was to dominate the Parisian scene for the next ten years and to be the major international decorative art movement until World War I. By 1895, a poster craze was in full bloom.

		Deliberately rejecting the aristocratic and erotic subjects which had dominated French art for the past century, a group of artists looked back to Roman and Greek models, especially items being uncovered in the excavations of Pompeii, to produce works of high moral seriousness.
		So much of neo-classical painting was official art, that is art sponsored by first the French Republic, and then by the Emperor Napoleon, that I have included a special section on Images of Napoleon.
		Many of these paintings are not considered "great art," but they form an important addition to the history of art: art in service to political power.
