The painting on the left is Civilization by G.
W. Maynard.
It is typical of paintings of the time which tend to represent
classical images of beauty based on religious themes, rulers,
or mythological legends. The painting on the right is The Man
with the Hoe by J.F. Millet. Millet was unique at the time because
he painted vivid, natural-looking, ordinary people instead of
idealized images of beautiful, wealthy people. He influenced
artists such as Van Gogh.
