The 19th century was the peak of literary and artistic creation. If one were to choose the most famous countries, then England's Faulkner and France's painter Francis Bacon would probably be the focus of attention. Faulkner was born in the middle of the 19th century and was regarded as the greatest of the 20th century. His works were full of darkness and violence, with a strong sense of social criticism, including classic works such as The Sound and Fury, The Fall of Virgil, and A Farewell to Arms. Francis Bacon was a famous French painter in the late 19th century. His works were famous for their strong colors and strokes, especially in the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements. His representative works included The Game of Time, sunrise: Impression, The Last Supper, and so on. In addition to Faulkner and Francis Bacon, the works of other famous 19th-century writers such as Dickens, Jane Austen, Bronte, Hugo, Tolstoy, etc. all made important contributions to the history of literature. Other than Bacon, there were also painters like John Fletcher, Paul Gauguin, Edward Awamaru, and others whose works had high artistic value.
