This painting by Claude Monet depicts a sunrise scene at the port of Le Havre, France. In the foreground are two small rowboats, with fishing boats and larger ships like clippers and steamships in the middle and background. Monet painted the scene to capture the contrast of traditional fishing alongside the modern industry symbolized by steamboats and cranes, representing France's regeneration after its recent defeat in the Franco-Prussian war. The painting helped give rise to the Impressionist movement with its loose brushwork and focus on capturing fleeting light effects.

Type Sculpture
Material Marble
Subject David
Dimensions 170 cm (67 in)
Location Galleria Borghese, Rome
Style Baroque
David is a life-size marble sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
The sculpture was one of many commissions to decorate the
villa of Bernini's patron Cardinal Scipione Borghese
was completed in the course of seven months from 1623 to
1624. The subject of the work is the biblical David, about to
throw the stone that will bring down Goliath, which will allow
David to behead him. Compared to earlier works on the same
theme (notably the David of Michelangelo), the sculpture broke
new ground in its implied movement and its psychological
intensity. The sculpture shows a scene from the Old Testament
First Book of Samuel. The Israelites are at war with the
Philistines whose champion, Goliath, has challenged the
Israelite army to settle the conflict by single combat. The young
shepherd David has just taken up the challenge, and is about to
slay Goliath with a stone from his sling:

Baldachin By Bernini
Artist: Gian Lorenzo Bernini
Height: 95′
Opened: 1634
Created: 1623–1634
Architectural style: Baroque architecture
Architect: Gian Lorenzo Bernini
St. Peter's Baldachin is a large Baroque sculpted bronze canopy,
technically called a ciborium or baldachin, over the high altar of St.
Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City, the papal enclave surrounded by
Rome, Italy.
The baldachin is at the centre of the crossing and directly under the
dome of the basilica. Designed by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo
Bernini, it was intended to mark, in a monumental way, the place of
Saint Peter's tomb underneath. Under its canopy is the high altar of
the basilica. Commissioned by Pope Urban VIII, the work began in
1623 and ended in 1634.[1] The baldachin acts as a visual focus within
the basilica; it itself is a very large structure and forms a visual
mediation between the enormous scale of the building and the
human scale of the people officiating at the religious ceremonies at
the papal altar beneath its canopy.

3. Scala Regai
is a flight of steps in the Vatican City and is part of
the formal entrance to the Vatican. It was built by
Antonio da Sangallo the Younger in the early 16th
century, to connect the Apostolic Palace to St.
Peter's Basilica, and restored by Gian Lorenzo
Bernini from 1663 to 1666.
The site for the stairs, a comparatively narrow sliver
of land between church and palace, is awkwardly
shaped with irregular converging walls. Bernini used
a number of typically theatrical, baroque effects in
order to exalt this entry point into Vatican. The
staircase proper takes the form of a barrel-vaulted
colonnade that necessarily becomes narrower at the
end of the vista, exaggerating the distance. Above
the arch at the beginning of this vista is the coat of
arms of Alexander VII, flanked by two sculpted
angels.

4. Piazza st. Peter in Rome

5. • is a large plaza located directly in front of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City
• At the centre of the square is an Egyptian obelisk, erected at the current site in 1586.
Gian Lorenzo Bernini designed the square almost 100 years later, including the
massive Tuscan colonnades, four columns deep, which embrace visitors in "the
maternal arms of Mother Church".
• Bernini had been working on the interior of St. Peter's for decades; now he gave
order to the space with his renowned colonnades, using the Tuscan form of Doric
• not to compete with the palace-like façade by Carlo Maderno, but he employed it on
an unprecedented colossal scale to suit the space and evoke a sense of awe.
• The trapezoidal shape of the piazza, which creates a heightened perspective for a
visitor leaving the basilica and has been praised as a masterstroke of Baroque theate

6. Fountain of Four Rivers
located in Piazza Navona, the ancient stadium of the Emperor
Domitian and the site of the Pamphilj family palace.

7. The Fountain of the Four Rivers depicts Gods of the four great rivers in the four continents
as then recognized by the Renaissance geographers: the Nile in Africa, the Ganges in Asia,
the Danube in Europe and the Río de la Plata in America.
Each location is further enhanced by animals and plants of that country. The Ganges
carries a long oar, representing the river's navigability. The Nile's head is draped with a
loose piece of cloth, meaning that no one at that time knew exactly where the Nile's
source was. The Danube touches the Papal coat of arms, since it is the largest river closest
to Rome. And the Río de la Plata is sitting on a pile of coins, a symbol of the riches
America might offer to Europe (the word plata means silver in Spanish).
Each River God is semi-prostrate, in awe of the central tower, epitomized by the slender
Egyptian obelisk (built for the Roman Serapeum in AD 81), symbolizing Papal power and
surmounted by the Pamphilj symbol of the dove.
The Fountain of the Four rivers is a theater in the round, whose leading actor is the
movement and sound of water splashing over and cascading down a mountain of
travertine marble. The masterpiece was finally unveiled to the world on June 12, 1651, to
joyous celebration and the inevitable criticisms of the day. Then as today the Fountain of
the Four Rivers continues to amaze and entertain visitors to Rome. Bernini triumphs yet
again!

8. st. Carlo alle Quattro Fontane
Address: Roma, Italy
Groundbreaking: 1638
Architectural type: Church
Architectural styles: Baroque, Baroque architecture
Architect: Francesco Borromini
The church was designed by the architect
Francesco Borromini and it was his first
independent commission. It is an iconic
masterpiece of Baroque architecture, built as
part of a complex of monastic buildings on the
Quirinal Hill for the Spanish Trinitarians, an
order dedicated to the freeing of Christian
slaves.
The concave-convex facade of San Carlo
undulates in a non-classic way. Tall corinthian
columns stand on plinths and bear the main
entablatures; these define the main framework
of two storeys and the tripartite bay division.
The church interior is both extraordinary and
complex. The three principal parts can be
identified vertically as the lower order at ground
level, the transition zone of the pendentives
and the oval coffered dome with its oval lantern

9. Hall of mirrors and bedroom in Versailles

10. The Hall of Mirrors (French: Grande Galerie or Galerie des Glaces) is the
central gallery of the Palace of Versailles in Versailles, France.
As the principal and most remarkable feature of King Louis XIV of
France's third building campaign of the Palace of Versailles (1678–1684),
construction of the Hall of Mirrors began in 1678.To provide for the Hall
of Mirrors as well as the salon de la guerre and the salon de la paix,
which connect the grand appartement du roi with the grand
appartement de la reine, architect Jules Hardouin Mansart appropriated
three rooms from each apartment as well as the terrace that separated
the two apartments.[2][3][7]
The principal feature of this hall is the seventeen mirror-clad arches that
reflect the seventeen arcaded windows that overlook the gardens. Each
arch contains twenty-one mirrors with a total complement of 357 used
in the decoration of the galerie des glaces.[7] The arches themselves are
fixed between marble pilasters whose capitals depict the symbols of
France.[citation needed] These gilded bronze capitals include the fleur-
de-lys and the Gallic cockerel or rooster.

11. Louis XV Fauteuil

12. The Louis XV style or Louis Quinze was a French Rococo style in
the decorative arts, and, to a lesser degree, architecture.
Datable to the personal reign of Louis XV (1723–1774), the
style was characterised by supreme craftsmanship and the
integration of the arts of cabinetmaking, painting, and
sculpture.
French furniture of the period—which typically came in two
sets, a summer and a winter—was highly ornamental, yet
elegant, and designed to mesh with the rest of the home decor.
Orientalia—themes from the Far East—and the fabulous were
the principle thematic expressions, and exotic woods and
marbles were employed to further the effect.

13. Louis XIV Fauteuil
the “Louis” chair has become an emblem of the Golden
Age of the French monarchy and the periods of
decorative arts that aligned with their reigns.

32. Gauguin Day of God 1894
Set in a Tahitian landscape by the sea, the composition is
divided into three horizontal bands. At the top, islanders
perform a ritual near a towering sculpture. Like many figures in
Gauguin’s Tahitian images, the monumental sculpture was
derived not from local religion but from photographs of carved
reliefs adorning the Buddhist temple complex at Borobudur
(Java). In the middle band, three symmetrically arranged
figures are placed against a field of pink earth in poses that
may signify birth, life, and death. The woman in the center,
formally linked to the sculpture at the top, is similar in
appearance to other depictions of Tahitian females who
Gauguin used to suggest the Christian figure of Eve in paradise.
The lower portion of the composition evokes brilliant,
contrasting hues reflected in the water. Gauguin’s Post-
Impressionist style, defined by a decreasing tendency to depict
real objects and the expressive use of flat, curving shapes of
vibrant color, influenced many abstract painters of the early
20th century.

33. Gauguin what when where 1897
the radical life change
played an important
role in his art, post
expression, symbolic,
religious
Gauguin indicated that the painting should be read from right
to left, with the three major figure groups illustrating the
questions posed in the title. The three women with a child
represent the beginning of life; the middle group symbolizes
the daily existence of young adulthood; and in the final group,
according to the artist, "an old woman approaching death
appears reconciled and resigned to her thoughts"; at her feet,
"a strange white bird...represents the futility of words." The
blue idol in the background apparently represents what
Gauguin described as "the Beyond." Of its entirety he said, "I
believe that this canvas not only surpasses all my preceding
ones, but that I shall never do anything better—or even like it."
The painting is an accentuation of Gauguin's trailblazing post-
impressionistic style; his art stressed the vivid use of colors and
thick brushstrokes, tenets of the impressionists (though the
Impressionists focused on quick brushstrokes), while it aimed
to convey an emotional or expressionistic strength. It emerged
in conjunction with other avant-garde movements of the
twentieth century, including cubism and fauvism.

34. Cezanne, Mt. St. victoire 1897
The Montagne Sainte-Victoire is a mountain in southern
France, overlooking Aix-en-Provence. It became the subject of
a number of Cézanne's paintings.
In these paintings, Cézanne often sketched the railway bridge
on the Aix-Marseille line at the Arc River Valley in the center on
the right side of the picture. Especially, in Mont Sainte-Victoire
and the Viaduct of the Arc River Valley (1885–1887), he
depicted a moving train on this bridge.
Only half a year after the opening of the Aix-Marseille line on
October 15, 1877, in a letter to Émile Zola dated April 14, 1878,
Cézanne praised the Mont Sainte-Victoire, which he viewed
from the train while passing through the railway bridge at Arc
River Valley, as a “beau motif (beautiful motif)”,[1] and, in
about that same year, he began the series wherein he
topicalized this mountain.[2]
These paintings belong to Post-Impressionism. Cézanne is
skilled at analysis: he uses geometry to describe nature, and
uses different colours to represent the depth of objects.

39. sunrise 1872
Impression, Sunrise is a painting by Claude Monet. Shown at what would later be known as the "Exhibition of the
Impressionists" in April 1874, the painting is attributed to giving rise to the name of the Impressionist movement.
Impression, Sunrise depicts the port of Le Havre at sunrise, the two small rowboats in the foreground and the red sun
being the focal elements. In the middle ground, more fishing boats are included, while in the background on the left side
of the painting are clipper ships with tall masts. Behind them are other misty shapes that "are not trees but smoke stacks
of packboats and steamships, while on the right in the distance are other masts and chimneys silhouetted against the
sky."[3] In order to show these features of industry, Monet eliminated existing houses on the left side of the jetty, leaving
the background unobscured.
Following the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, the regeneration of France was exemplified in the
thriving port of Le Havre.[6] Art historian Paul Tucker suggests that the contrast of elements like the steamboats and
cranes in the background to the fishermen in the foreground represent these political implications: "Monet may have
seen this painting of a highly commercial site as an answer to the postwar calls for patriotic action and an art that could
lead. For while it is a poem of light and atmosphere, the painting can also be seen as an ode to the power and beauty of a
revitalized France."[3]
The representation of Le Havre, hometown of Monet and a center of industry and commerce, celebrates the "renewed
strength and beauty of the country... Monet’s ultimate utopian statement." Art demonstrating France’s revitalization,
Monet’s depiction of Le Havre’s sunrise mirrors the renewal of France

The Starry Night is the only nocturne in the series of views
from his bedroom window. In early June, Vincent wrote to
Theo, "This morning I saw the countryside from my window a
long time before sunrise with nothing but the morning star,
which looked very big"[L 5] Researchers have determined that
Venus was indeed visible at dawn in Provence in the spring of
1889 and at that time was near its brightest possible. So the
brightest "star" in the painting, just to the viewer's right of the
cypress tree, is actually Venus
Van Gogh depicted the view at different times of day and under
various weather conditions, including sunrise, moonrise,
sunshine-filled days, overcast days, windy days, and one day
with rain.

and whose aesthetic and functional appeal remains to this day.
