Comparing Madame X And Le Bain

Throughout history, the use of subliminal messaging has been highly prevalent within various forms of media consumed by the human race. Using it allows authors to influence their political or societal viewpoint through implicit methods. Even stories as rudimentary as those produced for the entertainment of children, contain hidden messages deeply imbedded within them. Marxist theory, the analysis of the role of politics, money and power within literary works, allows readers to examine principles promoted by the author; these can be especially demonstrated in Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont’s Beauty and the Beast. These themes are exemplified through the bourgeoisie mindset of the elder sisters, the proletariat mentality of Beauty and the direct influence of wealth on the prominence of the merchant.

The art piece that I selected for my analysis is called The Triumph of Divine Love by Peter Paul Rubens. The artwork is an oil painting on canvas, circa 1625. This piece of art was commission by Isabella Clara Eugenia, Infanta of Spain and Portugal. The Triumph of Divine Love was one of eleven art pieces in a series portraying the Eucharist cycle, an important issue in the Catholic-Protestant strife. Its purpose was to aid in the Catholic Reformation and the artwork was to be displayed at the Convento de las Descalzas Reales in Madrid. (Ringling Museum n.d.)

Her thesis is written in scatters, a testament to her stream of consciousness writing style, though essentially, she concludes that masterpieces are original ideas that come only from the human mind and are timeless. There are so few of them because in order to create a masterpiece, one cannot be constrained by one’s identity that others created.

The two works of art that I have chosen is the painting The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli and the poem Stanze per la Giostra by Angelo Poliziano. The Birth of Venus was created between 1484 and 1486 by Sandro Botticelli. It was created in the early Renaissance period and is currently located in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. Stanze per la Giostra was written between 1475 and 1478 by the Renaissance poet Angelo Poliziano. Its current location is the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, although it is currently not on display. The Birth of Venus and Stanze per la Giostra share many similarities as Stanze per la Giostra was Botticelli’s inspiration for creating The Birth of Venus. In The Birth of Venus, Botticelli has transformed Poliziano’s words into a beautiful work of art. These works of art share the theme of beauty. While Angelo Poliziano describes the beauty of the goddess Venus in his prose, Botticelli has captured her beauty with his delicate brush strokes. I will be comparing the theme of beauty between The Birth of Venus and Stanze per la Giostra as well as connecting it to contemporary standards of beauty.

This essay analyzes on the portrait of “Madame X” painted by John Singer Sargent as well as the background of the artist himself. It analyzes on the physical, visual and aesthetics characteristics. In addition, it argues on the controversial output given by critics of the time as well as analyzing and comparing two interpretations of the portrait by art historians from the 19th century and the 20th century.

Man has been creating art for over 30,000 years. There are cave drawings, sculptures, Egyptian art, Greek Art, Modern Art and plenty more but to many, the Renaissance Art period is considered to be most important. Never had so many geniuses in art lived at one time and never had so many pieces of cherished art been produced. Two examples of Renaissance paintings are Cigoli’s Adoration of the Shepherds and Moretto da Brescia’s Entombment. Both paintings posses the attributes that were popular during the Renaissance period which I will now contrast and compare.

The purpose of this essay is to evaluate two art pieces that were created by two tremendously gifted individuals during the Baroque to the contemporary period. Masters of their movements, both sculptors were able to create masterpieces that revealed an unfolding event that could be read by their viewers from all sides.

I’ve focused on three art pieces which are so beautiful to me. The statue of The Maltese Virgin and Child at the Chancery House with the virgin holding baby in her arms with both looking into the sky, a Byzantine painting from the Byzantinscher Maler Jahrhunderts with the virgin holding child in her lap with baby looking at her and virgin looking at us and lastly, a marble statue located at The Metropolitan Museum of Art of the virgin sitting down holding child in her lap looking into baby’s eyes and baby looking into hers.

In the renaissance there were many famous artists and masterpieces. One of the most famous works of art is known as the statue of David, sculpted by Michelangelo. The statue of David is one of the greatest works of art from the high renaissance for so many reasons, including the fact that it is one of Michelangelo’s most well-known works of art. Michelangelo was one of the greatest artists from the high renaissance, along with many others. He created many masterpieces in his time and the statue of David may only be one of them but it is considerably the best.

Art is one aspect of the past that has carried on for decades. Art in any form may it be poetry, novels, and playwright, sculpting as well as painting, has been an outlet for generations and continues to be an outlet and a means for expression. This paper will discuss “ The Mona Lisa” one of Da Vinci’s most famous paintings, as well as another great painting, Antonio Veneziano’s

The very famous Mona Lisa was great inspiration for many other art pieces, but none as famous as itself except for Andy Warhol’s silkscreens of the Mona Lisa. It is said that he was so consumed by the famousness and celebrity that the painting created that he became obsessed with it for the rest of his life. His creation of his own Mona Lisa pieces, as well as his Jackie series and his Marilyn series and all the series that Warhol created of the many

One of the most unique figures in the continuum of the art world, Marcel Duchamp changed the way we look at and produce art today. Marcel Duchamp was by far, one of the most controversial figures in art. Two of the most well known and talked about pieces by him are The Fountain and The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even . Duchamp created many other pieces that caught the attention of critics, other artists, and the population in a negative way; however, these two pieces alone, brought about the greatest amount of controversy.

The first piece of art I consider important is not a piece within itself. I would say the art of satire is very important to western culture. The goal of satire was to criticize society in a humorous way that encourages the improvement of said society. The satirists had hopes that this would correct social evils by laughing at them. For example in Johnathan Swift’s, Gulliver’s Travels, uses different encounters to emphasize political corruption and mock the vices of the humans in his novel. This piece has one example of the most common vices found in humans; bickering, gluttony and avarice. Swift wanted to show that humans were at fault for their cruelty and failures because they were given reason. This style is unique because many of the pieces were absurd in the suggestions. The pieces would suggest things such as eating children (A Modest Proposal), mock social climbers and degenerate nobles (Marriage a la Mode). Satire is significant to our cultural history because it was a

Masterpieces in art was traditionally known as a work done with extraordinary skill; especially a supreme intellectual or artistic achievement. The works of Giotto in the Arena chapel are classified as masterpieces because, these pieces signal the time of Giotto establishing his own style that would then spread throughout Italy. Many of his contemporaries recognized his talent, “Renaissance artists and writers insisted that Giotto was their true artistic ancestor. At few other moments in the history of painting has a single artists work led to so rapid, widespread and a complete change” (Hart, Wilkins 73). The works of Masaccio and Van Eyck have been met with similar praise; they both introduced novel techniques in composition to achieve realism.
