Louis XIV ruled as an absolute monarch, based on the theory of divine right. His mishandling of the economic crises
of the 1780s gave rise to the French Revolution. The Neoclassic movement uses ancient legends to convey a message
of patriotism to the contemporary French public- patriotic spirit and self-sacrifice are the main themes using imagery
of the classical world as the vehicle. Romanticism was characterized by its emphasis on emotion and individualism as
well as glorification of all the past and nature, challenging notions stemming from the industrial revolution. Realism is
often used to describe a style in art and literature in which the aim is to depict ordinary existence without idealistic
fantasy. It arose as a response to Romanticism. Price includes catered lunch. Instructor: Dr. Steven Derfler

Voisin or Catherine Monvoisin had studied the poison recipes of Lucrezia Borgia. By the twentieth-century, two serial
killers would grab French headlines. The French Bluebeard built his net worth on the inheritances of his dead wives
and girlfriends. Finally, Jacques the Ripper invited his “clients” to his apartment basement right under the nose of the
Gestapo during the German occupation of Paris. All of these monsters died either on the Place de Gréve, the Gibet de
Montfaucon, or lying down on the guillotine’s plank. Instructor: Mr. Stewart Ross
