Picturing France, 1830–1900 is a learning resource intended for middle, high school, and early college classes. It takes a multi-faceted look at nineteenth-century painting in France, as well as the culture that produced and is reflected by that art. Organized by region, it provides a quick glance at the setting, history, and cultural life of Paris, the Île-de-France, the mountain areas of Franche-Comté and Auvergne, Normandy, Brittany, and Provence as well as in-depth examinations of more than fifty works of art. The packet’s classroom guide includes activities that bring the music, literature, politics, cuisine, and artistic strategies of 19th-century France to life. Recommended for social studies, history, French language, and art curricula.
