Dolores Del Rio : The Beauty Of Female Beauty In France

My setting in in France in the 1930s. France is the largest country in Western Europe, with an area of 547,030 square miles. It is twice the size of colorado. France borders the Atlantic Ocean. France is composed of lush plains rich mountains, and beautiful coasts. It is situated between Belgium, Spain and the mediterranean sea. The climate is temperately cold in most of france, except near the mountains or in the northeast, with cool winters and mild summers. Southern France is generally warm, with mild winters and hot summers. Paris, its capital, is famous for its fashion houses, art museums including the monuments like the Eiffel Tower. The country is also known for its wines and sophisticated cuisine. Lascaux’s ancient cave drawings, Lyon’s Roman theater and the vast Palace of Versailles attest to its history. France’s capital is Paris and it is known for the City of Romance.

The people of France take pride in their selves. Although they seem like very modest people in France it is normal to have affairs while being married. They celebrate eleven official holidays. The French celebrate the traditional Christian holidays as well such as Easter and Christmas and normal ones like Fourth of July, Good Friday, Easter Monday, and Labor Day. On July fourteen they celebrate Bastille Day, which is the day that the Bastille fortress was stormed in and it started the French revolution. Another few that are not common here is victory in Europe day, Ascension Day, Whit Monday, Assumption day and , All Saints day and Armistice day, and last but not least St. Stephens Day. Although there are many great things about France there is one thing that’s not so positive about France is that it is well known for a lot of human trafficking. Although many laws have been passed to lower the rates of this awful problem and also to protect and keep the woman safe it is still very common. A little more information about their culture is that due to the fact that there country is a six sided shape they often use the word hexagon to describe their nation due to the similarity. France is a beautiful country filled lots of history. These are the five themes of geography for

From doing this first assignment project, I learned how focused the French culture is on art and how involved it is in their everyday lives. Art can come in so many forms in the French culture, a few being paintings, sketches, sculpting, and making music. As well as this, I learned about Impressionism which is a form of art that specifically came from the French culture in the 1870s and the 1880s. This form of art was created by a group of Impressionists whom were all French. Lastly, I learned how the French culture is full of elegance and love, which is also displayed through their artwork as well.

France is a nation known for artistic talent. Well before the works of Monet and Seurat, prehistoric man painted on his surroundings and constructed early forms of architecture. As history progressed, new art forms developed when the Celtics moved into Gaul. Following these migrations, art transformed again as France became more influenced by the Greeks and Romans. The origins of art in France have humble beginnings dating over 30,000 years ago, and art has evolved overtime through the process of Celtic migration and the adaptation of Greco-Roman design.

Culturally and historically speaking, France is among the most important nations in the Western World (France, Britannica). France has a vast history, and many significant things have happened throughout time. For example, toward the end of the 18th century (1787-1799), the French Revolution shook France (French Revolution, Britannica). Many revolutions had taken place, but this was by a good deal, one

Female representation in contemporary art scarce compared to male artists, so these two pieces, Madame de Pompadour at Her Toilette and Self Portrait as a Tehuana are great examples of how women are presented and how they showcase themselves in similar ways although these were made almost two decades apart. At a glance they may seem like completely different works, but with further examination we are able to uncover their many similarities. Both works focus on self-representation, identity, fashion, and femininity.

That the number of works that defend women outnumbers the works that slander them is fascinating. This imbalance indicates it may have been more beneficial to write a defense rather than a defamation of women. As previously stated, the use of the Christian doctrine by defenders of women helped writers put forth an upstanding posture that was acceptable by society. Most were in search of a national identity for the agenda that eventually led to the unification of the various territories into one Spain. The image of a Christian only society was equated with an honorable society. This was the semblance that was developed to represent Spain. Therefore, it is not surprising defenses were popular since they propagate Christian doctrine through the glorification of women in Marian form. This glorification of women allowed the audience to participate in the Marian tradition of the Catholic doctrine and in a sense reinforced their own moral values.

Influence, power and authority typically accompanied men in sixteenth century Europe, but often they symbolically follow the beautiful women in English Renaissance plays. One instance of this is when immediately after meeting with Bel-imperia, Hieronimo is suddenly able to initiate his revenge, whereas previously his attempts had been futile. Throughout English Renaissance plays, women of beauty are not only desired, but also symbolize who has power, authority, and agency. While women typically weren’t allowed to act independently and have their own agency, authors in this time period seem to radically imply that men who have the fierce loyalty or at least control over beautiful women can be successful. Ambitious men such as Balthazar, Lorenzo,

In her book Renaissance Women, Gaia Servadio studies the roles that women have been played throughout art history and argues that it is females who drive the Renaissance to “mature and advance.” Although it is hard to prove whether female is the impetus behind the Renaissance movement, we are convinced that they play a significant role in it. Furthermore, the subject matter of women and the way they are depicted are constantly evolving in response to the flow of artistic movements. In fact, we can see how the image of women changes and how that closely relates to the contemporary social environment by examining the artworks that depict females from the Renaissance and beyond. By inspecting the women on prints from the Renaissance and Baroque

France is well known for its vibrant culture, arts, architecture, and literature that is placed throughout the country. The most famous writers from France are Voltaire and Victor Hugo. Voltaire was a well-known philosopher and writer during the French Enlightenment time period.

Rococo influenced the ornamental arts in Europe, especially in France, southern Germany and Austria, and is marked by asymmetry, naturalism, pastel colors, light-heartedness and delicate shell-like and watery forms. In France the aristocracy built elegant town houses which later became salons—intimate areas for the exchange of conversations, intellectual gatherings and entertainment.

Since ancient times, women’s beauty has long been a common topic for literature and art. Appreciating women’s charming appearances and behaviors is free to talk about both in privacy and public. However, it should be pointed out that as what the painting Admonitions of the Instructress to Court Ladies reflects to people, due to the effect of old Chinese cultures and traditions, women’s inner self actually plays a more signifiant role than their external appearances, which echoes on a similar idea from Upanishads that attaining self(atman) is a major goal for people while the body is unreliable and not long lasting.

what is around them and what do women do to compete with the magazine look?

I remember the precise moment when I first laid eyes on the Portrait of Madame de Pompadour. At about ten years of age, my parents bought a book titled: Women who read are dangerous. This book depicted several paintings, sculptures and photographs of women reading; among which was the Portrait of Madame de Pompadour. The second I witnessed the detail and extravagance of the painting, I fell in love with it. Luckily at the time I was living in Bavaria, coincidentally also the current home of said painting. When I went to see it, it was much larger in person than I could have ever envisioned and much more vibrant in color and detail than I could have ever imagined. Over the years I have seen many more paintings, I have to yet be overwhelmed the way I was when I first saw the Portrait of Madame de Pompadour.
