Art Has The Power Of Transcend Life
There is no doubt that art has the power to transcend life. But artist themselves have had the daunting tasks, as historical scribes, to record time, space,
and attitudes in their works. The "Capitalist Realism" movement is no different – if not one of the best examples of this visual history.
As a play on the term social realism, the artists of the movement included Gerhard Richter of whom's work the Lab currently features. Alongside such
artists as Manfred Kuttner, Sigmar Polke, and Konrad Lueg, Capital Realism was action and reaction to a Germany's division between East and West.
The collaborations of the group were exhibited in spaces that further perpetuate the manifestations of the time period with stark abattoirs, abandoned
shopping malls and the like. Though the collective's art now is increasingly popular, very few of them went on to create a living out of it; Richter was
one.
Born in Dresden in 1932, Gerhard Richter came of age after World War II. In the villages of Reichenau and Waltersdorf, where his father taught school
before being mobilized, Richter had a provincial childhood that mixed Tom Sawyer escapades in the forests of Saxony with compulsory membership in
the Hitler Youth and a catch–as–catch–can education. His mother, the daughter of a gifted pianist and a bookseller prior to her marriage, read Goethe,
Nietzsche and the classics of German literature, listened avidly to the great 18th– and 19th–century composers and encouraged her son 's

Analysis Of Paul Cezanne's ' Mont Sainte Victoire '
One of the most influential painters of the twentieth century was Paul Cezanne. He was willing to break the traditionally accepted artistic practice in
order to better portray his artistic creativity. Cezanne was became part of the movement that followed the Impressionists called the Post–Impressionism
movement. The artists who were the driving forces behind this movement were Gauguin, Van Gogh, Seurat, and Cezanne. These artists were placed in
this grouping because they were the avant–garde artists of the time period, who wanted to be able to express their emotions rather than simply
representing what they saw. Cezanne's Mont Sainte–Victoire seen from The Bibemus Quarry was painted in 1985. Mont Sainte–Victoire is a mountain
that is in the South of France and overlooks the Aix–en–Provence, which happens to be the hometown of Paul Cezanne. This work exemplifies the
Post–Impressionistic techniques because Cezanne utilized the avant–garde techniques, while at the same time demonstrating the relationship between
the artist and the work. This work embodies the period style because it contains avant–garde geometric shapes to define the forms, colors, and
interpretations that were important to the Post–Impressionists. First off, the harshness of the lines goes hand in hand with the shapes that exist in the
work. The shapes tend to be simplified shapes, which demonstrates that Cezanne wanted things to appear as if they could be broken down. Cezanne

The Armorer 's Shop By David Teniers
Conservation Study
While there were several works of art that I had liked, the artwork and album finally chosen from Noelle Ocon's album for this particular study was The
Armorer's Shop by David Teniers the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Younger. The goals for the study of this painting were to delve into topics such as
subject matter, spectrum bands used to reveal information about the painting, and conservation efforts in general. As such, this study will start with the
subject matter and style of presentation.
The Armorer's Shop's medium and materials are oil paints applied to connected wood panels. The artwork was painted circa 1640–1645 ("The

Interestingly, outside of The Armorer's Shop, there is virtually no evidence that Brueghel and Teniers ever collaborated with each other (Woll.)
As seen in the visible light photographs, the painting was flaking in some areas. The key issue here, however, is not necessarily the flaking paint.
Instead, it is the fact there were also two barely noticeable lines that were particularly noticeable from the back of the painting. At the time of these first
few pictures, The Armorer's Shop had been strictly attributed to Teniers the Younger, with no mention of Brueghel (Huskinson).
The painting was first analyzed using visible light, which can only show some surface details through techniques like grazing. However, a couple of
other bands of the spectrum that can be used to obtain information about the painting in question are infrared, in the form of infrared reflectography, and
x–ray. These were both utilized in this case to analyze The Armorer's Shop. Infrared can be used to see through the paint layers to the underdrawing
and also to detect details in the painting that may have changed color since being painted ("Infrared (IR) Light."). X–ray can be used to see through the

How A Partial Biography Could Be Harmful For A Painter?...
"How a partial biography could be harmful for a painter? Lorenzo Lotto's peripatetic career in Vasari's Lives" (I still need a better title)
Why do we read Vasari's Lives? Surely not for the historical accuracy of the data he provides us nor for his scientific approach to the artist's
biographies. We read what we consider a masterpiece of Italian literature mainly because, instead of concentrating on long tedious enumeration,
exegetical and philological details or monotonous galleries of portraits, Vasari preferred to choose according to his taste, to stick to what he was given
to know, to carefully consider and judge the paintings with his intelligence, sensibility and enthusiasm. This explains why it is interesting to analyse
even a scanty biography as the one of Lorenzo Lotto in both the editions of the lives. Lotto's biography may be considered especially interesting in
order to understand how an artist, who developed his own pictorial poetic, diametrically different from that of his fellow citizens, and who worked
mainly in peripheral centres, entered the ranks of those painters, sculptors and architects whose memory Vasari has sought to preserve.
In either edition of the Lives, Vasari devotes to Lotto a scanty biography shared with Jacopo Palma, also knew as Palma il Vecchio. In the Torrentini's
edition, Lotto's life is particularly concise, to use a euphemism. Vasari literally reserves the artist's biography a one–tenth of the lines he uses to
describe Palma's Life.

The baroque period was very important piece European art history, in which all
forms of art was changed under the influence of "religious and ideological movements of
the Catholic Counter–Reformation in Europe." (Sandywell, 1st Edition, 2011) This era
lasted from early 1600 to late 1800. The baroque period can also be broken down into two
sub categories: Italian baroque and Spanish baroque. The paintings during the baroque

The Renaissance : Mannerism
The Renaissance: Mannerism
In 1517, the Catholic Church split into two branches of Christianity: Protestantism and Catholicism. Martin Luther's list of grievances, called the 95
Theses, listed the issues with the Catholic Church. These problems include the rigid hierarchy in the Church that ultimately promoted an elitist culture
within the religion. Almost all Christian Bibles were written in Latin, meaning only the wealthy and educated could have a relationship with God.
Additionally, Luther and his followers believed that Christian art produces idolatry and therefore distracts an individual from developing a personal
relationship with God. This clashes with the Catholic belief that visual imagery promotes piety, ultimately heightening one's chances of going to
Heaven if an individual chooses to be a patron to Christian art. As a result, Pope Paul III held a series of meetings over the course of almost twenty
years. Called the Council of Trent, these meetings lasted from 1545 to 1563 and consisted of various Catholic leaders seeking to improve the Church's
declining reputation. This Catholic Counter–Reformation paved way for new forms of art. One of these forms of art is Mannerism. Derived from the
Italian word "maniera" meaning "manner" or "style," the style first developed in Italy and spread to other countries. This form of art started in the
1520 and lasted until about 1600, a time period in which many know as the late Renaissance. Supported by the elite class,

Art history essay on Adopting an approach
Martin Robertson and Mary Beard's manuscript, Adopting an Approach, focuses on the study of Athenian pottery. The manuscript begins, by
describing Sir John Beazley and his revolutionary method of studying Greek vases. The Beazley Method focuses on the technical conventions of
Greek Vases such as naming the artist, dating the pieces and then grouping them based off of similar characteristics. Beazley "provided for the first
time a comprehensive framework of analysis for Athenian painting, and a way of dating and classifying." (Pg. 16) However, what Beard's main
argument suggests is that it is not the artists that help us understand the importance of the vases because even if a vase is assigned to a specific time

This particular kylix is a good example because it shows how the women contradict each other and through this piece we can understand the jobs of
each type of woman and we can speculate how they balanced one another out in Athenian society.
Adopting an Approach has many strong arguments and claims throughout the manuscript. Particularly in the beginning, Beard does a great job of
enticing the assumed college–level reader and relating to that specific audience. She does this when explaining, "understanding the images around us,"
by talking about a French perfume advertisement. By doing this, she relates to the age group that would be reading this manuscript by combining
something that they might be familiar with, to something they are unfamiliar with. Although this is initially a strong way to go about attracting the
reader, it needs to be done at the right moments. On pages fourteen and fifteen, she gives many more unrelated examples, which ultimately, causes the
reader to forget the original point trying to be made. Beard's claim needed to be made quicker, before the reader loses sight of what the article is

The Most Famous Work Of Art
The 13th and 14th centuries in Italy are as known as the early Renaissance. Several artists remain well recognized from this period in art history.
Duccio di Buoninsegna was an Italian painter, active in the city of Siena. His most famous work of art is the Maesta Altarpiece located in the
Cathedral of Siena. At that time, Siena was very competitive with Florence. The greatest Florentine painter was Giotto di Bondone. He was a couple
years younger than Duccio. Giotto's crowning achievement is a series of fresco murals painted in the Arena Chapel. Duccio and Giotto were two
astonishing artists.

His stillness is in contrast to the crowd, it allows scenes flow around him. Judas reaches and kisses Christ from the left, there appear to be regret in
Judas face. There is not apparent though his aggressive posture. Christ's right hand is pointing forward. This may express Christ's future forgiveness
of Judas. Duccio's depiction leaves more space for imagination for the viewer. In Giotto's painting, Christ is in profile. This allows for eye contact
between Christ and Judas. Christ is a little taller than Judas, and he gaze silently upon Judas's face. From the gaze of the Christ, we can feel a sense
of forgiveness and sorrow. Moreover, we can feel Juda feels sorry for what he has done. Their expressions make the painting more emotional, they
emphasize the nobility of the Christ and let viewer have a better connection to this emotional content.
Both Duccio and Giotto captured the act of Saint Peter slicing an ear off of a roman solider. Duccio is telling the story of the arrest of Christ
though a passing of time. In Duccio's painting, we can clearly see the anger on Peter's face, he is next to Judas on his left. The viewer will draw their

Brueghel the Younger was practicing painting in the studio of a landscape painter, Gillis van Coninxloo (Artnet, 2016).

At first contact with the painting, my eyes were immediately drawn to the center of the painting where a dominant figure of a man is highlighted not
only by his large size, but also by his bright red jacket which invokes a strong presence in the painting. In contrast, the other peasant–like characters'
wear muted, dark colors while the child's clothing in the far bottom left of the painting is almost indecipherable among the dark tree trunk. The use of
the primary color red at the center of the painting emphasizes a sense of tension, urgency and motion (Herberholz, & Herberholz, 2002, p. 29).
However, I also observed the emanating warm palette of colors associated with this Flemish renaissance era (Pastro, 2005, p. 51). The colors are
"cozy" and reassuring. In truth, the blue sky, light ochre buildings and the terracotta–colored church, all covered with crisp white snow gives the
painting its arresting quality, presenting a peaceful winter country scene. Overall, the painting presents a wide range of values and tones of colours. For
instance, shades of yellow and gray are strategically painted onto the snow to represent the shoe prints of the characters. Interestingly, unlike his father,
Pieter Brueghel the Youngerdepicted detailed objects in the painting through the use of representational shapes. In these artwork, the emphasis is on
the realistic presentation of the subject matter. The people, objects, or landscape look very real and may be considered an imitation of nature
(Herberholz, & Herberholz, 2002c, p. 90). In fact, artists frequently use realistic shapes in a two–dimensional artwork to represent three dimensional
object–forms–that they see in the natural world (Herberholz, & Herberholz, 2002b, p. 34). In addition, the actions of the prominent figures give the

Losing Sight Analysis
William Kraft, a musical composer and conductor, once said, "When you go to the theater, if you're really involved in the play, you don't think about it
– you're in it." This quote from William Kraft is especially true for the One Act plays I attended. The smaller theater space and closer proximity to the
stage allowed you to more involved in the play than if you were seated farther away. In the following response, a synopsis and critique of three of the
plays I saw will be given.
The first act of the night was a play titled "Losing Sight." To summarize this play, there was a talented painter with diminishing vision. Because of his
impending blindness, the painter tried to seclude himself from and push away all his family and friends. With the help of his deceased grandfather and

David Tenier Research Paper
Flemish artist, David Teniers– David Teniers II or David Teniers the younger– was one of the most famous and prominent artist of peasant life in the
17th century. He was born in Antwerp and his works were influenced by his father, David Teniers the Elder, and his father
–in–law, Jan Brueghel. In
1632, Teniers became a master of a guild in St. Luke. He was later chosen to preside over the same guild in St. Luke in 1644 ("David Teniers the
Younger"). Teniers achieved noble status in 1663 and also successfully lobbied for the establishment of an art school in his city (Van Vlieghe).
Teniers is believed to have over 2,000 paintings. One of those paintings is called Winter Scene with a Man Killing a Pig circa 1650. The medium is

Teniers flourished during the Dutch Golden Age, which was a period that roughly spanned the17th century. This particular piece of art by David
Teniers as well as most of his other artworks can be described as a genre painting. Genre paintings are artworks that depict ordinary life ("Genre
Painting"). Genre art depict everyday scenes, such as that of Winter Scene with a Man Killing a Pig. It shows the motions of everyday life: market
settings, domestic settings, party scenes, streets, inns, etc.; all that is associated with the "peasant life." In this particular painting, it tells the story of
a winter day in a peasant village where a ritual of life and death is occurring. There's also another interesting aspect to the painting. The row of
houses as well as the people are painted in warm earthy colors, which juxtaposes the cool silvery tones of the rest of the painting ("Winter Scene with
a Man Killing a Pig"). By doing this, the viewer's eyes immediately look at the row of houses, then to the family, slaughtering the pig, which is the

then married each other, it would result in a huge scandal. After 24 years of being married to Beatrice, he left her for Bess Houser who Lawren
ended up marrying in 1834. Beatrice's family threatened Lawren to charge him with bigamy which is the act of entering a marriage while you are
still legally in one. Lawren ended up moving to the United States of America later that year with Bess. They then moved again in 1940 to
Vancouver, British Columbia. That is when Lawren began to make abstract paintings. Twenty nine years later, Lawren was made a Companion of

Essay about Salome and Cupid
The paintings Salome with the Head of St. John the Baptist, by Guido Reni and Cupid Chastised, by Bartolomeo Manfredi are both 17th century
visual representations of a story. The story behind Salome is the interesting biblical story of the beheading of St. John the Baptist, as it's title suggests.
The story goes that Salome performed a dance for the king and his guests. Herod Antipas saw Salome's dance and was so impressed, and drunk, that he
promised to give her whatever she asked of him. After consulting her mother, Salome asks Herod for the head ofJohn the Baptist. Herod delivered on

The cool green and grays that surrounds Salome can symbolize her cool, calm, staid disposition, and almost blasГ© attitude in light of what is before
her, the head of a dead man. The two women in the back left of the plane are wearing more vibrant colors but are muted by a shadow. Salome is the
focal point of the piece, therefore receiving more light and wearing brighter colors than the other figures in the painting. She and the head of John the
Baptist are the only figures that are not crossed by a pronounced shadow, both are illuminated by the light that extends from the right of the
composition. This value construction puts emphasis on the two main characters, the figures that hold the most narrative weight.
Goldish yellow, pink and white are the colors of Salome's dress. The yellow in Salome's dress can be taken as a reflection of her confident and
satisfied posture and facial expression. Pink can symbolize femininity or sexuality, a major factor behind the events of the story. For it was Salome's
display of these qualities, in her dance, that moved Herod so much as to grant her any request. These vibrant colors also provide contrast to the cool
background, with pink (a tint or red) serving as a contrast to green, further emphasizing the protagonist woman and relating to the viewer her
significance in the story behind the depiction. Similarly, in Cupid Chastised vibrant foreground colors contrast a neutral background. Mars' fiery red

This is the first of a series of paintings of the Months, of which only five remain. This painting representing January reveals winter 's firm grip on the
countryside. Three hunters return with only a rabbit to show for their efforts. Their feet press into the powdery snow. Nearby rabbit prints mark its
recent passage. The tired dogs shiver against the cold. Snow blankets the world. Bruegel deftly dusted the bushes and tree branches in white. The
ponds below are frozen, and great icicles hand from the millwheel on the lower right. Leafless trees dot the countryside. Bruegel subtle colour palette
with its muted earth tones perfectly evokes the season. It also masks the obvious cross–diagonal construction of the landscape. The four trees in the

Vonnegut uses Characterization to develop the fact that things aren't as perfect as they seem. He does this by mentioning different points of views for

Analysis Of A Harbor In Moonlight
Claude–Joseph Vernet is a very largely known French artist from the early 1700's. He has been known to be one of the best landscape painters of all
time. Vernet paints from a different perspective than many artists and his art leaves a lasting impact on viewers' minds. Many of his paintings are
famous including "A Harbor in Moonlight" which is located at the St. Louis Art Museum.
A Harbor in Moonlight stood out as a very interesting piece. What initially caught my eye was the different lighting and shades of every color in
this painting. My first reaction was a sense of calmness and relief. There are many reasons that I got the initial first feelings that I did. The biggest
reason is the arrangements of lighting. Vernet does a good job of incorporating lighting into every part of this piece. I feel that the lighting plays the
biggest role in this artwork because without it, it is very dull and dark. The result of a dull and dark painting would not be anywhere near the same
result as the lighting.
It almost seems like the lighting is meant to say something or symbolize something. Just by looking at it, each light has a different role and level of
importance in the picture. The main sources of light that stood out to me were the fire, moon, lighthouse, and even the reflection of light on the
surface of the water. All of them provide a different sense of feeling in this scene. The fire gives me a feeling of security and safety, because people

Analysis Paper : Paul Cezanne
Contextual Analysis Paper: Paul Cezanne One of the most influential painters of the twentieth century was Paul Cezanne. He was willing to break the
traditionally accepted artistic practices in order to better portray his artistic creativity. Cezanne became part of the movement following the
Impressionists called the Post–Impressionism movement. The artists who were the driving forces behind this movement were Gauguin, Van Gogh,
Seurat, and Cezanne. These artists were grouped together because they were the avant–garde artists of the time period, who wanted to be able to
express their emotions rather than simply representing what they saw. Cezanne's Mont Sainte–Victoire seen from The Bibemus Quarry was painted in
1985. Mont Sainte–Victoire is a mountain that is in the South of France and overlooks the Aix–en–Provence, which happens to be the hometown of
Paul Cezanne. This work exemplifies the Post–Impressionistic techniques because Cezanne utilized the avant–garde techniques, while at the same time
demonstrating the relationship between the artist and the work. This work embodies the period style because it contains avant–garde geometric shapes
to define the forms, colors, and interpretations that were important to the Post–Impressionists. First off, the harshness of the lines goes hand in hand
with the shapes that exist in the work. The shapes tend to be simplified which demonstrates that Cezanne wanted things to appear as if they could be

Rogier Van der Weyden Essay
Rogier Van der Weyden was a Flemish painter of the mid
–15th century. Rogier was chiefly influenced by his first teacher, Robert Campin. Although
details of his early training are sketchy, it is generally accepted that he entered the workshop of Robert Campin, the foremost painter in Tournai and
dean of the painters' guild, in 1427 at the age of 27 (http://www.belgium.be). Rogier remained in Campin's studio for five years, becoming an
independent master of the guild on August 1, 1432. Van der Weyden was not permitted to sell his artwork while studying in Campin's shop. From
Campin, Rogier learned the ponderous, detailed realism that characterizes his earliest paintings, and so alike are the styles of these two masters that
critics still do ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Campin was not the only source of inspiration in Rogier's art. Jan van Eyck, the great painter from Bruges, also profoundly affected the developing
artist, introducing elegance and subtle visual refinements into the bolder, Campinesque components of such early paintings by Rogier as St. Luke
Painting the Virgin. It was in Bruges, where Rogier may have resided between 1432 and 1435, that he became thoroughly acquainted with van Eyck's
style (http://humanitiesweb.org). The spiritual essence of a scene was displayed with similar technical virtuosity by Van der Weyden. His international
renown was exceeded only by that of Hugo van der Goes, who united van Eyck's naturalism with penetrating studies of humanity(Eyewitness Books,
Renaissance, 20.) Rogier may well have also been influenced by the writings of Thomas a Kempis, the most popular theologian of the era, whose
"practical mysticism," like Rogier's paintings, stressed empathetic response to episodes from the lives of Mary, Christ, and the saints (http:
//www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/weyden/). By translating the main ideas of Gothic Art into the new, lifelike style, Rogier did a great service to
northern art. He saved much of the tradition of lucid design that might otherwise have been lost under the impact of Jan van Eyck's discoveries (The
Story of Art, 276).

The Most Famous Work Of Art
The 13th and 14th centuries in Italy are as known as the early Renaissance. Several artists remain well recognized from this period in art history.
Duccio di Buoninsegna was an Italian painter, active in the city of Siena. His most famous work of art is the Maesta Altarpiece located in the
Cathedral of Siena. At that time, Siena was very competitive with Florence. The greatest Florentine painter was Giotto di Bondone. He was a couple
years younger than Duccio. Giotto's crowning achievement is a series of fresco murals painted in the Arena Chapel. Duccio and Giotto were two
astonishing artists.

Judas face. There is not apparent though his aggressive posture. Christ's right hand is pointing forward. This may express Christ's future forgiveness
of Judas. Duccio's depiction leaves more space for imagination for the viewer. In Giotto's painting, Christ is in profile. This allows for eye contact
between Christ and Judas. Christ is a little taller than Judas, and he gaze silently upon Judas's face. From the gaze of the Christ, we can feel a sense
of forgiveness and sorrow. Moreover, we can feel Juda feels sorry for what he has done. Their expressions make the painting more emotional, they
emphasize the nobility of the Christ and let viewer have a better connection to this emotional content.
Both Duccio and Giotto captured the act of Saint Peter slicing an ear off of a roman solider. Duccio is telling the story of the arrest of Christ
though a passing of time. In Duccio's painting, we can clearly see the anger on Peter's face, he is next to Judas on his left. The viewer will draw their

How A Partial Biography Could Be Harmful For A Painter?...
"How a partial biography could be harmful for a painter? Lorenzo Lotto's peripatetic career in Vasari's Lives" (I still need a better title)
Why do we read Vasari's Lives? Surely not for the historical accuracy of the data he provides us nor for his scientific approach to the artist's
biographies. We read what we consider a masterpiece of Italian literature mainly because, instead of concentrating on long tedious enumeration,
exegetical and philological details or monotonous galleries of portraits, Vasari preferred to choose according to his taste, to stick to what he was given
to know, to carefully consider and judge the paintings with his intelligence, sensibility and enthusiasm. This explains why it is interesting to analyse
even a scanty biography as the one of Lorenzo Lotto in both the editions of the lives. Lotto's biography may be considered especially interesting in
order to understand how an artist, who developed his own pictorial poetic, diametrically different from that of his fellow citizens, and who worked
mainly in peripheral centres, entered the ranks of those painters, sculptors and architects whose memory Vasari has sought to preserve.
In either edition of the Lives, Vasari devotes to Lotto a scanty biography shared with Jacopo Palma, also knew as Palma il Vecchio. In the Torrentini's
edition, Lotto's life is particularly concise, to use a euphemism. Vasari literally reserves the artist's biography a one–tenth of the lines he uses to
describe Palma's Life.

Baroque is important in regards of European philosophical art history, generating identifiable and stylistic changes in: painting, sculpture and
architecture throughout the periods of the late sixteenth century to the early eighteenth. Dominant particularly in the regions of southern Europe such
as: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria and southern Germany.Baroque is a stylistic movement that often exaggerated motion to: illustrate drama, tension
and grandeur features such as exaggerated lighting, intense emotions, release from restraint, and even a kind of artistic sensationalism" through various
art forms.
Baroque art did not really depict the life style of the people at that time; the era was rather intimately integrated along the religious philosophies of the
Catholic Counter Reformation: instituting a program of restoration and a new way of living, in Europe and its colonies. Its popularity and success was
highly encouraged by the Catholic Church and was made as a responsive movement made by the Council of Trent towards the Protestant
Reformation–the two differed: Protestant reformers wanted to reassess doctrines such as justification and sweep away medieval practices such as the
adoration of saints.

differences between these stories is the different social hierarchies. In Marta case, she had a desire to be with the rich, but they excluded her. While,
the businessmen ate at the coffee shop instead of an expensive restaurant. This clearly displays the divided aspect in "They're not my husband". In

The inclusion of this element in the painting helps to deliver an idea about the widely spread practice of gambling in England of the 18th century.
Gambling was so common a feature of daily life that it can be included in conversation portraits such as Assembly at Wanstead House without any hint
of the scandal (Richard 3). It is also crucial to note that everything occurs in a calm atmosphere and does not express signs of passion, which may
also be viewed as an attribute of the higher society. The guests are gathered there playing cards and drinking tea, which appears to be a common
practice for England of respective time. It is important to note that the events seem to take place in the evening, and it is signified through the view

The Immaculate Conception : Painting By Antonio De...
In the painting The Immaculate Conception (Figure 1) painted by Antonio de Palomino y Velasco, there is a prominent central figure found in the
middle of the canvas. The figure is a woman draped in white and blue garments with red accents and surrounded by cherubs and doves. The woman
is the Virgin Mary and has a crown of 12 stars around her head. Both cherubs and doves are often used as religious symbols and this piece of art is
Biblical in that it illustrates Mary very much like she is described in the book of Revelation. Revelation 12:1 reads that "...a great sign appeared in
heaven: A woman clothed with the sun and, the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars." During the time period that Antonio
Palomino created this piece, there were countless other artists painting similar works with their own spin on things. Notable artists include the likes of
Juan de Valdes Leal and Bartolome Esteban Murillo. In this time period, the counter–reformation was taking place and I believe that, as a response to
the protestant reformation, the painting of religious images was used to reignite growth in the Catholic Church.
Antonio de Palomino y Velasco was a Spanish painter of the Baroque period in addition to being an art historian. Originally from Bujalance, Antonio
Palomino later studied lessons in painting under a major seventeenth century artist in Juan de Valdes Leal during the 1670s. After he completed his

Art Has The Power Of Transcend Life

  • 1. Art Has The Power Of Transcend Life There is no doubt that art has the power to transcend life. But artist themselves have had the daunting tasks, as historical scribes, to record time, space, and attitudes in their works. The "Capitalist Realism" movement is no different – if not one of the best examples of this visual history. As a play on the term social realism, the artists of the movement included Gerhard Richter of whom's work the Lab currently features. Alongside such artists as Manfred Kuttner, Sigmar Polke, and Konrad Lueg, Capital Realism was action and reaction to a Germany's division between East and West. The collaborations of the group were exhibited in spaces that further perpetuate the manifestations of the time period with stark abattoirs, abandoned shopping malls and the like. Though the collective's art now is increasingly popular, very few of them went on to create a living out of it; Richter was one. Born in Dresden in 1932, Gerhard Richter came of age after World War II. In the villages of Reichenau and Waltersdorf, where his father taught school before being mobilized, Richter had a provincial childhood that mixed Tom Sawyer escapades in the forests of Saxony with compulsory membership in the Hitler Youth and a catch–as–catch–can education. His mother, the daughter of a gifted pianist and a bookseller prior to her marriage, read Goethe, Nietzsche and the classics of German literature, listened avidly to the great 18th– and 19th–century composers and encouraged her son 's ...

  • 2. Analysis Of Paul Cezanne's ' Mont Sainte Victoire ' One of the most influential painters of the twentieth century was Paul Cezanne. He was willing to break the traditionally accepted artistic practice in order to better portray his artistic creativity. Cezanne was became part of the movement that followed the Impressionists called the Post–Impressionism movement. The artists who were the driving forces behind this movement were Gauguin, Van Gogh, Seurat, and Cezanne. These artists were placed in this grouping because they were the avant–garde artists of the time period, who wanted to be able to express their emotions rather than simply representing what they saw. Cezanne's Mont Sainte–Victoire seen from The Bibemus Quarry was painted in 1985. Mont Sainte–Victoire is a mountain that is in the South of France and overlooks the Aix–en–Provence, which happens to be the hometown of Paul Cezanne. This work exemplifies the Post–Impressionistic techniques because Cezanne utilized the avant–garde techniques, while at the same time demonstrating the relationship between the artist and the work. This work embodies the period style because it contains avant–garde geometric shapes to define the forms, colors, and interpretations that were important to the Post–Impressionists. First off, the harshness of the lines goes hand in hand with the shapes that exist in the work. The shapes tend to be simplified shapes, which demonstrates that Cezanne wanted things to appear as if they could be broken down. Cezanne utilizes an array of geometric ...

The Armorer 's Shop By David Teniers Conservation Study While there were several works of art that I had liked, the artwork and album finally chosen from Noelle Ocon's album for this particular study was The Armorer's Shop by David Teniers the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Younger. The goals for the study of this painting were to delve into topics such as subject matter, spectrum bands used to reveal information about the painting, and conservation efforts in general. As such, this study will start with the subject matter and style of presentation. The Armorer's Shop's medium and materials are oil paints applied to connected wood panels.

Interestingly, outside of The Armorer's Shop, there is virtually no evidence that Brueghel and Teniers ever collaborated with each other (Woll.) As seen in the visible light photographs, the painting was flaking in some areas. The key issue here, however, is not necessarily the flaking paint. Instead, it is the fact there were also two barely noticeable lines that were particularly noticeable from the back of the painting. At the time of these first few pictures, The Armorer's Shop had been strictly attributed to Teniers the Younger, with no mention of Brueghel (Huskinson). The painting was first analyzed using visible light, which can only show some surface details through techniques like grazing. However, a couple of other bands of the spectrum that can be used to obtain information about the painting in question are infrared, in the form of infrared reflectography, and x–ray. These were both utilized in this case to analyze The Armorer's Shop. Infrared can be used to see through the paint layers to the underdrawing and also to detect details in the painting that may have changed color since being painted ("Infrared (IR) Light."). X–ray can be used to see through the entire painting to detect its base and find possible weaknesses or damages to the painting's ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 6. How A Partial Biography Could Be Harmful For A Painter?... "How a partial biography could be harmful for a painter? Lorenzo Lotto's peripatetic career in Vasari's Lives" (I still need a better title) Why do we read Vasari's Lives? Surely not for the historical accuracy of the data he provides us nor for his scientific approach to the artist's biographies. We read what we consider a masterpiece of Italian literature mainly because, instead of concentrating on long tedious enumeration, exegetical and philological details or monotonous galleries of portraits, Vasari preferred to choose according to his taste, to stick to what he was given to know, to carefully consider and judge the paintings with his intelligence, sensibility and enthusiasm. This explains why it is interesting to analyse even a scanty biography as the one of Lorenzo Lotto in both the editions of the lives. Lotto's biography may be considered especially interesting in order to understand how an artist, who developed his own pictorial poetic, diametrically different from that of his fellow citizens, and who worked mainly in peripheral centres, entered the ranks of those painters, sculptors and architects whose memory Vasari has sought to preserve. In either edition of the Lives, Vasari devotes to Lotto a scanty biography shared with Jacopo Palma, also knew as Palma il Vecchio. In the Torrentini's edition, Lotto's life is particularly concise, to use a euphemism. Vasari literally reserves the artist's biography a one–tenth of the lines he uses to describe Palma's Life. ...

He painted "his brother Martial, in a straw hat and purple slippers, and their young cousin ZoГ«, dressed in striped chiffon and red boots" to show a sense of fashionable leisure. (MFAH). The style of the painting is impressionism because the artwork shows the recreation of the view that the artist was trying to give an impression of.

  • 12. The Renaissance : Mannerism The Renaissance: Mannerism In 1517, the Catholic Church split into two branches of Christianity: Protestantism and Catholicism. Martin Luther's list of grievances, called the 95 Theses, listed the issues with the Catholic Church. These problems include the rigid hierarchy in the Church that ultimately promoted an elitist culture within the religion. Almost all Christian Bibles were written in Latin, meaning only the wealthy and educated could have a relationship with God. Additionally, Luther and his followers believed that Christian art produces idolatry and therefore distracts an individual from developing a personal relationship with God. This clashes with the Catholic belief that visual imagery promotes piety, ultimately heightening one's chances of going to Heaven if an individual chooses to be a patron to Christian art. As a result, Pope Paul III held a series of meetings over the course of almost twenty years. Called the Council of Trent, these meetings lasted from 1545 to 1563 and consisted of various Catholic leaders seeking to improve the Church's declining reputation. This Catholic Counter–Reformation paved way for new forms of art. One of these forms of art is Mannerism. Derived from the Italian word "maniera" meaning "manner" or "style," the style first developed in Italy and spread to other countries. This form of art started in the 1520 and lasted until about 1600, a time period in which many know as the late Renaissance. Supported by the elite class, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 13. Art history essay on Adopting an approach Martin Robertson and Mary Beard's manuscript, Adopting an Approach, focuses on the study of Athenian pottery. The manuscript begins, by describing Sir John Beazley and his revolutionary method of studying Greek vases. The Beazley Method focuses on the technical conventions of Greek Vases such as naming the artist, dating the pieces and then grouping them based off of similar characteristics. Beazley "provided for the first time a comprehensive framework of analysis for Athenian painting, and a way of dating and classifying." (Pg. 16) However, what Beard's main argument suggests is that it is not the artists that help us understand the importance of the vases because even if a vase is assigned to a specific time period or artist, there is ...

This particular kylix is a good example because it shows how the women contradict each other and through this piece we can understand the jobs of each type of woman and we can speculate how they balanced one another out in Athenian society. Adopting an Approach has many strong arguments and claims throughout the manuscript. Particularly in the beginning, Beard does a great job of enticing the assumed college–level reader and relating to that specific audience. She does this when explaining, "understanding the images around us," by talking about a French perfume advertisement. By doing this, she relates to the age group that would be reading this manuscript by combining something that they might be familiar with, to something they are unfamiliar with. Although this is initially a strong way to go about attracting the reader, it needs to be done at the right moments. On pages fourteen and fifteen, she gives many more unrelated examples, which ultimately, causes the reader to forget the original point trying to be made. Beard's claim needed to be made quicker, before the reader loses sight of what the article is about.

  • 14. The Most Famous Work Of Art The 13th and 14th centuries in Italy are as known as the early Renaissance. Several artists remain well recognized from this period in art history. Duccio di Buoninsegna was an Italian painter, active in the city of Siena. His most famous work of art is the Maesta Altarpiece located in the Cathedral of Siena. At that time, Siena was very competitive with Florence. The greatest Florentine painter was Giotto di Bondone. He was a couple years younger than Duccio. Giotto's crowning achievement is a series of fresco murals painted in the Arena Chapel. Duccio and Giotto were two astonishing artists.

There is not apparent though his aggressive posture. Christ's right hand is pointing forward. This may express Christ's future forgiveness of Judas. Duccio's depiction leaves more space for imagination for the viewer. In Giotto's painting, Christ is in profile. This allows for eye contact between Christ and Judas. Christ is a little taller than Judas, and he gaze silently upon Judas's face. From the gaze of the Christ, we can feel a sense of forgiveness and sorrow. Moreover, we can feel Juda feels sorry for what he has done. Their expressions make the painting more emotional, they emphasize the nobility of the Christ and let viewer have a better connection to this emotional content. Both Duccio and Giotto captured the act of Saint Peter slicing an ear off of a roman solider. Duccio is telling the story of the arrest of Christ though a passing of time. In Duccio's painting, we can clearly see the anger on Peter's face, he is next to Judas on his left. The viewer will draw their attention to Peter after viewing the moment of the kiss of Judas.

  • 15. The Collection At The Museum Of Fine Arts RESEARCH Integrated into the Permanent Collection at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Pieter Brueghel the Younger 1620's painting Return from the Inn, illustrates an outdoor winter scenery of rustic peasant life in early seventeenth century Belgium. Born in 1564 or 1565 in Brussels, Belgium, Pieter Brueghel the Youngerwas a Flemish painter best known for being the oldest son of the notable sixteenth–century Netherlandish painter Pieter Brueghel the Elder and Mayken Coecke van Aelstv (Artnet, 2016). Following the passing of both of his parents, Brueghel the Younger and his siblings Marie and Jan went to live with their grandmother Mayken Verhulst, a reputable painter of watercolors. It was her who acquainted Brueghel the Younger to painting. Around 1578, the family relocated to Antwerp, Belgium, where Brueghel the Younger settled down and started a family. Also during this time, Brueghel the Younger was practicing painting in the studio of a landscape painter, Gillis van Coninxloo (Artnet, 2016). The flourishing art market of this era and the high demand of Pieter Brueghel the Elder's paintings drove his son to dedicate his time to recreating a body of low–priced and inspired replicas of his father's peasant scenes works (ArtUK, 2016).

Harris was able to take street dance and put it on the stage. The hip–hop dancers were trained and they delivered the dance professionally.

Return From The Inn Part of the Permanent Collection at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Pieter Brueghel the Younger's painting Return from the Inn made around 1620, illustrates an outdoor winter landscape of rural peasant life in early seventeenth century Belgium. Born in 1564 or 1565 in Brussels, Belgium, Pieter Brueghel the Younger was a Flemish painter best known for being the oldest son of the famous sixteenth century Netherlandish painter Pieter Brueghel the Elder and Mayken Coecke van Aelstv (Artnet, 2016).

At first contact with the painting, my eyes were immediately drawn to the center of the painting where a dominant figure of a man is highlighted not only by his large size, but also by his bright red jacket which invokes a strong presence in the painting. In contrast, the other peasant–like characters' wear muted, dark colors while the child's clothing in the far bottom left of the painting is almost indecipherable among the dark tree trunk. The use of the primary color red at the center of the painting emphasizes a sense of tension, urgency and motion (Herberholz, & Herberholz, 2002, p. 29). However, I also observed the emanating warm palette of colors associated with this Flemish renaissance era (Pastro, 2005, p. 51). The colors are "cozy" and reassuring. In truth, the blue sky, light ochre buildings and the terracotta–colored church, all covered with crisp white snow gives the painting its arresting quality, presenting a peaceful winter country scene. Overall, the painting presents a wide range of values and tones of colours. For instance, shades of yellow and gray are strategically painted onto the snow to represent the shoe prints of the characters. Interestingly, unlike his father, Pieter Brueghel the Youngerdepicted detailed objects in the painting through the use of representational shapes. In these artwork, the emphasis is on the realistic presentation of the subject matter. The people, objects, or landscape look very real and may be considered an imitation of nature (Herberholz, & Herberholz, 2002c, p. 90). In fact, artists frequently use realistic shapes in a two–dimensional artwork to represent three dimensional object–forms–that they see in the natural world (Herberholz, & Herberholz, 2002b, p. 34). In addition, the actions of the prominent figures give the painting a series of clear lines that are sharp and even perhaps violent. In the book Artworks for ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Racial Discrimination In Education Case Study Discrimination According to the free advice staff (2016), "racial discrimination in education refers to any harassment of students based on race, color, or national origin" (Para. 1). The actions of discrimination are nothing new. Discrimination takes on many forms and have occurred over many years. Discrimination has even been brought back to focus through the media coverage of current events. Discrimination of the 1950's represented an age of equal opportunities in education. One such educational opportunity pursued was at the University of Texas Law School where a student wanted admission but because of his color was denied access. The fight for equal education is then established and the case of Sweatt v Painter begins. The Reason cited in Complaint Sweatt v Painter is a case that shifted equality in education to new standards of admission and enrollment for African Americans.

This quote from William Kraft is especially true for the One Act plays I attended. The smaller theater space and closer proximity to the stage allowed you to more involved in the play than if you were seated farther away. In the following response, a synopsis and critique of three of the plays I saw will be given. The first act of the night was a play titled "Losing Sight." To summarize this play, there was a talented painter with diminishing vision. Because of his impending blindness, the painter tried to seclude himself from and push away all his family and friends. With the help of his deceased grandfather and ex–girlfriend, the painter learned to accept his fate and return to life in the company of others. The plot of "Losing Sight" is constructed around the painter's search for a new identity after his old identity, which was found in painting, was taken from him. The plot follows a normal plot structure beginning with an exposition and ending with a resolution. The three characters in the play worked off each other nicely. The painter brought seriousness and sadness to the play while the grandfather added a comedic side to the play that kept it from feeling overwhelmingly depressing. The third character in the play was the painter's ex–girlfriend who gave the painter something/someone to hold onto ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The story behind Salome is the interesting biblical story of the beheading of St. John the Baptist, as it's title suggests. The story goes that Salome performed a dance for the king and his guests. Herod Antipas saw Salome's dance and was so impressed, and drunk, that he promised to give her whatever she asked of him.

The cool green and grays that surrounds Salome can symbolize her cool, calm, staid disposition, and almost blasГ© attitude in light of what is before her, the head of a dead man. The two women in the back left of the plane are wearing more vibrant colors but are muted by a shadow. Salome is the focal point of the piece, therefore receiving more light and wearing brighter colors than the other figures in the painting. She and the head of John the Baptist are the only figures that are not crossed by a pronounced shadow, both are illuminated by the light that extends from the right of the composition. This value construction puts emphasis on the two main characters, the figures that hold the most narrative weight. Goldish yellow, pink and white are the colors of Salome's dress. The yellow in Salome's dress can be taken as a reflection of her confident and satisfied posture and facial expression. Pink can symbolize femininity or sexuality, a major factor behind the events of the story. For it was Salome's display of these qualities, in her dance, that moved Herod so much as to grant her any request. These vibrant colors also provide contrast to the cool background, with pink (a tint or red) serving as a contrast to green, further emphasizing the protagonist woman and relating to the viewer her significance in the story behind the depiction. Similarly, in Cupid Chastised vibrant foreground colors contrast a neutral background. Mars' fiery red garment stands ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This painting representing January reveals winter 's firm grip on the countryside. Three hunters return with only a rabbit to show for their efforts. Their feet press into the powdery snow. Nearby rabbit prints mark its recent passage. The tired dogs shiver against the cold. Snow blankets the world. Bruegel deftly dusted the bushes and tree branches in white. The ponds below are frozen, and great icicles hand from the millwheel on the lower right. Leafless trees dot the countryside. Bruegel subtle colour palette with its muted earth tones perfectly evokes the season. It also masks the obvious cross–diagonal construction of the landscape.

Sometimes we wish everything could be perfect, yet that may end up making things worse. We shouldn't try to be perfect like Dr. Hitz thinks it should be. We should just be thankful for what we have now. In "2BRO2B," Kurt Vonnegutuses characterization and internal conflict to stress the idea sometimes things aren't as perfect as they seem. Kurt Vonnegut uses Characterization to develop the fact that things aren't as perfect as they seem. He does this by mentioning different points of views for different characters. "He or she is going to live on a happy, roomy, clean, rich planet, thanks to population control." Dr. Hitz says how good of a life Wehling's child is going to live due to population control, this shows how he views population control.

Vernet paints from a different perspective than many artists and his art leaves a lasting impact on viewers' minds. Many of his paintings are famous including "A Harbor in Moonlight" which is located at the St. Louis Art Museum. A Harbor in Moonlight stood out as a very interesting piece. What initially caught my eye was the different lighting and shades of every color in this painting. My first reaction was a sense of calmness and relief. There are many reasons that I got the initial first feelings that I did. The biggest reason is the arrangements of lighting. Vernet does a good job of incorporating lighting into every part of this piece. I feel that the lighting plays the biggest role in this artwork because without it, it is very dull and dark. The result of a dull and dark painting would not be anywhere near the same result as the lighting. It almost seems like the lighting is meant to say something or symbolize something. Just by looking at it, each light has a different role and level of importance in the picture. The main sources of light that stood out to me were the fire, moon, lighthouse, and even the reflection of light on the surface of the water.

  • 28. Analysis Paper : Paul Cezanne Contextual Analysis Paper: Paul Cezanne One of the most influential painters of the twentieth century was Paul Cezanne. He was willing to break the traditionally accepted artistic practices in order to better portray his artistic creativity. Cezanne became part of the movement following the Impressionists called the Post–Impressionism movement. The artists who were the driving forces behind this movement were Gauguin, Van Gogh, Seurat, and Cezanne. These artists were grouped together because they were the avant–garde artists of the time period, who wanted to be able to express their emotions rather than simply representing what they saw. Cezanne's Mont Sainte–Victoire seen from The Bibemus Quarry was painted in 1985. Mont Sainte–Victoire is a mountain that is in the South of France and overlooks the Aix–en–Provence, which happens to be the hometown of Paul Cezanne. This work exemplifies the Post–Impressionistic techniques because Cezanne utilized the avant–garde techniques, while at the same time demonstrating the relationship between the artist and the work. This work embodies the period style because it contains avant–garde geometric shapes to define the forms, colors, and interpretations that were important to the Post–Impressionists. First off, the harshness of the lines goes hand in hand with the shapes that exist in the work. The shapes tend to be simplified which demonstrates that Cezanne wanted things to appear as if they could be broken down. He utilized an ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Although details of his early training are sketchy, it is generally accepted that he entered the workshop of Robert Campin, the foremost painter in Tournai and dean of the painters' guild, in 1427 at the age of 27 (http://www.belgium.be). Rogier remained in Campin's studio for five years, becoming an independent master of the guild on August 1, 1432. Van der Weyden was not permitted to sell his artwork while studying in Campin's shop.

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Campin was not the only source of inspiration in Rogier's art. Jan van Eyck, the great painter from Bruges, also profoundly affected the developing artist, introducing elegance and subtle visual refinements into the bolder, Campinesque components of such early paintings by Rogier as St. Luke Painting the Virgin. It was in Bruges, where Rogier may have resided between 1432 and 1435, that he became thoroughly acquainted with van Eyck's style (http://humanitiesweb.org). The spiritual essence of a scene was displayed with similar technical virtuosity by Van der Weyden. His international renown was exceeded only by that of Hugo van der Goes, who united van Eyck's naturalism with penetrating studies of humanity(Eyewitness Books, Renaissance, 20.) Rogier may well have also been influenced by the writings of Thomas a Kempis, the most popular theologian of the era, whose "practical mysticism," like Rogier's paintings, stressed empathetic response to episodes from the lives of Mary, Christ, and the saints (http: //www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/weyden/). By translating the main ideas of Gothic Art into the new, lifelike style, Rogier did a great service to northern art. He saved much of the tradition of lucid design that might otherwise have been lost under the impact of Jan van Eyck's discoveries (The Story of Art, 276).

There is not apparent though his aggressive posture. Christ's right hand is pointing forward. This may express Christ's future forgiveness of Judas. Duccio's depiction leaves more space for imagination for the viewer. In Giotto's painting, Christ is in profile. This allows for eye contact between Christ and Judas. Christ is a little taller than Judas, and he gaze silently upon Judas's face. From the gaze of the Christ, we can feel a sense of forgiveness and sorrow. Moreover, we can feel Juda feels sorry for what he has done. Their expressions make the painting more emotional, they emphasize the nobility of the Christ and let viewer have a better connection to this emotional content. Both Duccio and Giotto captured the act of Saint Peter slicing an ear off of a roman solider. Duccio is telling the story of the arrest of Christ though a passing of time.

  • 33. How A Partial Biography Could Be Harmful For A Painter?... "How a partial biography could be harmful for a painter? Lorenzo Lotto's peripatetic career in Vasari's Lives" (I still need a better title) Why do we read Vasari's Lives? Surely not for the historical accuracy of the data he provides us nor for his scientific approach to the artist's biographies. We read what we consider a masterpiece of Italian literature mainly because, instead of concentrating on long tedious enumeration, exegetical and philological details or monotonous galleries of portraits, Vasari preferred to choose according to his taste, to stick to what he was given to know, to carefully consider and judge the paintings with his intelligence, sensibility and enthusiasm. This explains why it is interesting to analyse even a scanty biography as the one of Lorenzo Lotto in both the editions of the lives. Lotto's biography may be considered especially interesting in order to understand how an artist, who developed his own pictorial poetic, diametrically different from that of his fellow citizens, and who worked mainly in peripheral centres, entered the ranks of those painters, sculptors and architects whose memory Vasari has sought to preserve. In either edition of the Lives, Vasari devotes to Lotto a scanty biography shared with Jacopo Palma, also knew as Palma il Vecchio. In the Torrentini's edition, Lotto's life is particularly concise, to use a euphemism. Vasari literally reserves the artist's biography a one–tenth of the lines he uses to describe Palma's Life. ...

The Adoration Of Saints The Adoration of Saints Baroque is important in regards of European philosophical art history, generating identifiable and stylistic changes in: painting, sculpture and architecture throughout the periods of the late sixteenth century to the early eighteenth. Dominant particularly in the regions of southern Europe such as: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria and southern Germany.Baroque is a stylistic movement that often exaggerated motion to: illustrate drama, tension and grandeur features such as exaggerated lighting, intense emotions, release from restraint, and even a kind of artistic sensationalism" through various art forms. Baroque art did not really depict the life style of the people at that time; the era was rather intimately integrated along the religious philosophies of the Catholic Counter Reformation: instituting a program of restoration and a new way of living, in Europe and its colonies. Its popularity and success was highly encouraged by the Catholic Church and was made as a responsive movement made by the Council of Trent towards the Protestant Reformation–the two differed: Protestant reformers wanted to reassess doctrines such as justification and sweep away medieval practices such as the adoration of saints.
