How did the artist of 18th and 19th century visualizing the nation explain with examples |
|
Answer» Artists in the eighteenth and NINETEENTH CENTURIES found a way out by personifying a nation. In other words they represented a country as if it were a person. Nations were then portrayed as female FIGURES. The female form that was chosen to personify the nation did not stand for any particular woman in real life; rather it sought to give the ABSTRACT idea of the nation a concrete form. That is, the female figure became an allegory of the nation. |
