laboursofhercules

The myth of Hercules has endured and spread across time and space for several reasons. Hercules embodies virtues like strength, courage, and perseverance that have remained inspiring. His travels across Greece and Europe exploring adventures have captivated audiences for centuries. Retellings of his twelve labors have served educational purposes, teaching people not to give up when facing challenges. For these reasons, Hercules' story continues to be depicted in art and locations of cultural significance, conveying messages of virtue and human potential.

The document discusses the transition from the Renaissance period to Mannerism and Rococo styles. It notes that after great Renaissance artists like Raphael, subsequent artists sought to improve and continue the Renaissance trajectory in new directions. This led to the development of Mannerism, which represented a shift from classical concepts of the Renaissance. Rococo style later emerged as an extension of Baroque ideals into a more intimate interior design focused on pleasure, replacing the grandeur of Baroque as tastes changed among the French court.

Rococo

After the death of Louis XIV in 1715, French aristocracy abandoned Versailles for Paris salons which provided relief from rigid court life. This new culture of leisure for aristocracy gave rise to Rococo style characterized by delicate patterns, pastel colors reflecting pampered lifestyle. Rococo paintings by artists like Fragonard depicted romantic intrigues of aristocracy through playful erotic scenes pleasing the eye rather than providing intellectual enrichment. However, Rococo style later fell out of favor with rise of Enlightenment thinkers criticizing it as frivolous.

Spanish Painting:Velazquez

Gamez1523

Velázquez was a Spanish painter active in the 1600s who is considered one of the most important artists of the Baroque period. He began his career in Seville, painting religious scenes and portraits in a tenebrist style with strong contrasts of light and shadow. After moving to Madrid in 1623 to work for King Philip IV, his style evolved to include elements of Italian Renaissance painting, becoming softer and more coloristic. Some of his most famous works from this late period include Las Meninas, The Surrender of Breda, and Rokeby Venus. Velázquez was highly influential and helped establish the standards of 17th century portraiture.

Rubens - Painter o exuberance

Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) was from an Antwerp family. In 1591 he became a pupil Verhaecht, a landscape and decorative painter. In 1600 Rubens went to Italy and became a Court painter to Duke of Mantua. He travelled widely in Italy and visited many of the great cities. He spent time studied the works of Titan and Michelangelo. On return to Antwerp he was appointed as the Court Painter to the Spanish Governor of Netherlands, a post he held for the rest of his life. In Antwerp he built himself an Italianate palace and married Isabella Brandt in 1609. Afterward he became perhaps the most energetic and fruitful career in the history of art that made him the most important artist in Northern Europe and the greatest Baroque painter of Northern Europe. The most learned, inventive and productive artist in the history of the northern Baroque, Rubens’s talent was extraordinary. The range of his work was colossal, encompassing portraiture, allegory, religious painting, landscapes and designs for ornament, tapestry, books and prints. A diplomat and scholar, his intelligent use of iconography was never rivalled, perfectly matching allusions to a patron’s aspirations, while his emotive religious works were actively intended as part of the Catholic armoury against the onslaught of the Protestant Reformation

Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Goya

J Luque

Neoclassicism and Romanticism were two major artistic movements that emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Neoclassicism was a return to classical Greco-Roman styles and emphasized order, logic and morality. Romanticism valued emotion, individualism and nature, and was a reaction against Neoclassicism and the rationalism of the Enlightenment. Francisco Goya was a Spanish painter who worked during this period and bridged the styles, producing both Neoclassical court portraits as well as Romantic works reflecting the turmoil of his times through dark and imaginative subjects.

The ruff was an item of clothing worn around the neck in 16th-17th century Europe that symbolized wealth and status. Ruffs were made of stiffened linen or lace and increased dramatically in size over the century, requiring upright posture. By forcing good posture, ruffs emphasized aristocratic ideals of dignity and refinement. Ruffs began falling out of fashion in the early 17th century and were eventually banned in Spain, though the style persisted longer in the Dutch Republic as seen in portraits from that time.
