Why were both Ode on a Grecian Urn and On the medusa of leonardo Da Vinci in the Florentine Gallery met with criticism once they were written

A: People thought there should be no connection between writing and art.

Explanation:

Poems written about other artistic works such as paintings and songs were known as ekphrasis. This means the literal representation of the medium of sight through words, where paintings or other art forms were given a "voice" describing themselves.

Examples of such works of ekphrasis are Ode on a Grecian Urn and Medusa of Leonardo Da Vinci in the Florentine Gallery. These two poems deal with an art painting form that is given a descriptive aspect through the imagination and words of the poets’ John Keats and P. B. Shelley. But when such works were produced, there was a lot of criticism from even their regular readers who believe that these 'descriptive' works ruin the artistic nature of the paintings they describe. There can be no perfect representation of the visual art form, which the poets seem to try to do. And they believe that art should remain art and be not given any other dimension. They do not need to be replicated in words and are to be left alone, to be enjoyed how they are meant to be.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
