How did each painting reflect or inspire social change or revolution? What was the social or revolutionary context of the painting?
What additional historical events or social factors may have influenced the creation or interpretation of each painting?
Explain how the style and specific visual characteristics of each painting contributed to or reflected its overall content or meaning.
