  • Recognizing only harmony and order, classicism “straightened out” the bizarre forms of baroque art, ceased to perceive the spiritual world of man tragically, and transferred the main conflict to the sphere of relations between the individual and the state. Baroque, which has outlived itself and come to its logical conclusion, has given way to classicism and rococo.

Sentimentalism (fr. sentiment - feeling). In ideological terms, he, like classicism, relied on the ideas of the Enlightenment.

An important place in the aesthetics of sentimentalism was occupied by the image of the world of feelings and experiences of a person (hence its name).

Feelings were perceived as a manifestation of the natural principle in a person, his natural state, possible only with close contact with nature.

It is most legitimate to consider sentimentalism as one of the artistic movements that operated within the framework of classicism.

If Rococo focuses on the external manifestation of feelings and emotions, then sentimentalism

highlights the inner

the spiritual side of human existence.

In Russia, sentimentalism found its most striking embodiment in literature and painting, for example, in the work of V. L. Borovikovsky.

Classicism is the artistic direction of the era of absolutism. Classicism takes shape in France in the 17th century, in the era of Louis XIV, who went down in history with the famous phrase: "The state is me." The greatest representatives of classicism in French literature are the tragedians Corneille and Racine, the comedian Molière, and the fabulist La Fontaine. The aesthetic program of classicism was outlined in the poetic treatise of Nicolas Boileau "Poetic Art".

The subject of art, according to the classicists, can only be high, beautiful. “Stay away from the low, It is always ugliness…” wrote Boileau. In real life, there is little high, beautiful, so the classicists turned to ancient art as a source of beauty. Borrowing plots, characters from ancient literature is a characteristic feature of classicism.

The pathos of classicism, which was formed in an era when the state in the form of an absolute monarchy played a progressive role, is the assertion of the primacy of state interests over personal ones. This civic pathos was expressed in different ways in different genres.

The classicists created a strict genre system. Genres were divided into high (they included tragedy, epic poem, ode) and low (comedy, fable, satire). All genres were clearly separated from each other, for each there were laws that writers had to adhere to. So, for the tragedy of classicism, the conflict of feeling and duty, the law of three unities (“Let everything be done on the day And in only one place ...” wrote Boileau), a five-act composition and Alexandrian verse as a form of narration were mandatory. The normativity of classic aesthetics did not become an obstacle for artists, the best of which, within the strict laws of classicism, were able to create bright, artistically convincing works.

Features of the tragedies of classicism. Corneille's tragedy "Sid"

Tragedy was the leading genre of classical literature.

In the aesthetics of classicism, the theory of tragedy was carefully developed. Its main laws are as follows. 1. Tragedy is based on an internal conflict of feeling and duty. This conflict is fundamentally insoluble, and the tragedy ends with the death of the heroes. 2. The plot of the tragedy obeys the law of three unities: unity of place (all events take place in one place), unity of time (all events take place in 24 hours), unity of action (there are no side storylines in the tragedy that do not work for the main conflict). 3. Tragedy is written in verse. The size is also determined: the Alexandrian verse.

One of the first great classicist tragedies is The Cid by Pierre Corneille (1637). The hero of the tragedy is the courageous and noble knight Rodrigo Diaz, sung in the Spanish heroic epic "The Song of My Side" and numerous romances. The action in Corneille's tragedy is driven by a conflict of feeling and duty, which is realized through a system of private conflicts flowing into each other. These are the conflict of feelings and public debt (the storyline of the Infanta), the conflict of feelings and family debt (the storylines of Rodrigo Diaz and Jimena) and the conflict of family debt and public debt (the storyline of King Fernando). All the heroes of the tragedy of Corneille, after a painful struggle, choose duty. The tragedy ends with the approval of the idea of ​​public debt.

"Sid" Corneille was enthusiastically received by the audience, but became the object of sharp criticism in the literary environment. The fact is that the playwright violated the fundamental laws of classicism: the law of the unity of the genre (in "Sid" the tragic conflict receives a successful resolution), the law of three unities (in "Sid" the action takes place within 36 hours in three different places), the law of the unity of the verse

(Rodrigo's stanzas are not written in Alexandrian verse). Over time, the deviations from the classic norms allowed by Corneille were forgotten, while the tragedy itself continues to live in literature and on the stage.
