Question

1. what did the enlightenment contribute to the arts during kauffmans time?

a. a focus on emotional expression
b. a preference for abstract forms
c. an interest in medieval folklore
d. an emphasis on reason and classical ideals

Explanation:

The Enlightenment emphasized reason, logic, and classical ideals. It was a reaction against superstition and blind faith. During Kauffman's time (Angelica Kauffman was an 18th - century artist), the Enlightenment's influence led to an emphasis on these rational and classical aspects in the arts. Emotional expression (a) was more of a Romantic trait (which came after the Enlightenment in many ways). Abstract forms (b) are more associated with 20th - century art movements. Interest in medieval folklore (c) was more of a Romantic or Pre - Raphaelite interest.

Answer:

d. An emphasis on reason and classical ideals
