Gruerica Painting

The painting language is never doing the function of simply to imitate or reflect a picture, but it gives a meaningful art imbibed with nature. The act of painting is an art through a meaning practice. In this picture, the painter said that, the source of painting. Then the background Judith story and depicting her role was very important in this scene. The picture should represent the reality of daily life and the events on his art and social life of the era.

Its vibrant blue color puts the viewer at ease, making the painting appear to be a tranquil and peaceful scene. As the observer’s eyes drift downward, they see the chaos as the Texans slowly lose the battle. At the top of the left building, a Mexican flag flutters in the wind, and to the right, another Mexican flag raises as the Texas flag is tossed to the ground. Through all this, at the bottom of the painting, hope is still shown: the Texans will not give up. Patriotism is shown as although they are outnumbered and their flag is lowered, they are still fighting. On the right side, it shows a man much larger than the others, shooting a man holding a Mexican flag. This figure represents patriotism in the physical form, and the observer can assume this man is an important figure in the battle of the

I believe, as do others, Judith and the Maidservant with the head of Holofernes is perhaps homage to her rape and subsequent treatment during her adolescent years. Her painting`s inspiration also plays tribute to the biblical story of Judith, who sleeps with the King Holofernes and than decapitates the drunk King in his sleep. Both Judith and the maidservant are now dominate in the painting over the dead male, they are quiet, unobtrusive and tense. A single candle burns within the dark room creating stark contrast between light and dark. The artist`s great skill can be seen in the bright highlighted details of Judith's hand and in the folds of clothing of the two. Depth and dark core detail can also be seen in the dark and reflective shadow areas within the room. Judith's hand covers the candlelight as she peers at the outside world, perhaps in an attempt to help in

One can just feel the emotion and pain of the people of this time, almost as if they lived through it. That’s how good of a job the artist did with this piece. I think people today would be very upset at this message, because the truth of the corruptness and struggle at the time is very upsetting. People today will see this mural and get a clearer sense of what the Mexican people at this time had to live through and from this gain a deeper understanding and appreciation. After all, words can only show so

In the painting, it depicts specifically moments after Holofernes’ head was fully decapitated and Judith attempting to hide what she just did. In Gentileschi’s painting, there are a few naturalistic qualities that make her piece

The story behind this painting is a Biblical tale about a strong heroine named Judith, who was known for her bravery and resistance against the Assyrian troops that come to assume control over her people. In this story, Judith uses her wit and seduction to ease her way into the Assyrian troops' camp and continue with a genius plan to execute the Assyrian General, Holofernes. She seduces him, and once he is drunk, beheads him in his own tent, with his own soldiers all around him oblivious (Branch). Judith was able to defeat the enemy and resist what could have been the end of many Israelites' lives. Cranach's choice suggested a political resistance that required a bravery similar to that of Judith's. Small details in the painting such as the bodice of the dress and Judith's jewelry show Cranach's love for a decorative surface, as well as the

Both those painting depict import political and moral scene. I like restrained aura of “Oath of Horatii”. I really like figures of 3 classical beautiful women seating to the right. Composition of this painting is very stable and organized. Three male figures to the left and three female figures to the right, and father figure in the middle like a breaking point. Colors are clear, bright, clothes

The painting ends with the “Last Judgement” on the right panel which shows people suffering. The center panel shows all the “Earthly Delights” such as games, music, romance turned into sins like sloth, gluttony, and lust. The meaning behind this shows that

The Judith and Holofernes piece is important to history because it shows rebellion in women which was not often seen, it also is important because it paved a path for other artists to venture out in it’s state which was free standing statues. The Judith and Holofernes art is by Donatello, it was created in 1460 towards the end of his career.

In this essay, I will discuss the startling differences between two depictions of the story of Judith and Holofernes. “Judith with the Head of Holofernes”, 1495, created by Andrea Mantegna, is a small-scale painting that was completed during the Renaissance. The second is a Baroque painting, “Judith Slaying Holofernes”, c.1620 by Artemisia Gentileschi and is on a larger scale than the version created by Mantegna. Both artworks take inspiration from the religious story that appears in the Catholic editions of the Bible. The story is about a young widowed Jewish woman, by the name of Judith, who murdered an enemy army general, Holofernes, to spare her people from death. I will compare and contrast how the scene has been depicted in rather different ways by each of the artists and the influencing factors that contributed to the overall outcome of both works. I will also be discussing how form and naturalism are portrayed between the two paintings, use of colour, symbolism and religion, as well as the Renaissance and Baroque eras.

Guernica was painted in 1937 by Pablo Picasso. It stands at 11’6’’ tall and 25’6’’ wide and is considered one of the most powerful paintings ever created. The work depicts the bombing of the city Guernica in Spain. The painting is a great piece of art because of its symbolism, solemn mood, and it contains many artistic elements. Don’t change sentence structure at the end. Change “contains many artistic elements” to fit in with the rest of the list.

For this project I will be going over the medium for Guernica by Pablo Picasso. The medium means the tools and paints used to create the artwork for this particular piece, it also has to do with the technique on how to construct this painting. But first, let me give you a little background of this symbolic painting. Pablo Picasso created this painting in reaction to the aerial bombing over Guernica, Spain by German and Italian forces during the Spanish Civil War back in 1937. After this tragedy, the Spanish Republic asked Picasso to paint a large mural about the bombing for display at the 1937 World’s Fair in Paris. Guernica was painted in remembrance to show the catastrophe of war as well as the anguish and destruction it inflicted on the people of Spain, especially the innocent civilians. The encompassing scenario is set within a room where, in an empty part on the left, a wide eyed bull looms above a woman grieving for a dead child she is holding. The middle of the painting shows a falling over in pain, having been pierced by a spear or lance. One of the focal points of this piece is the gaping wound in the side of the horse After it was completed, Guernica was exhibited to the world during a limited tour, receiving large amounts of recognition and becoming quite famous. This power piece obtain much exposure bring the Spanish Civil War to the world’s awareness. The colors for the painting are black, white, and grey. It is also done with oil paints on an eleven feet tall

From Whitney Chadwick third edition of Women, Art, and Society, the piece of artwork that engaged me deeply from this book is the 17th Century Italian Baroque painting Judith Decapitating Holofernes c. 1618 by Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi. This painting is oil on canvas painting in the style of classical Italian Baroque characteristics of chiaroscuro, dramatic realism, naturalistic, and rich vivid colors. What I see physically at first from the painting is at the center of the work a violent action is being played out by two young women using a sword to behead a man’s head while he’s in bed. I can see the arm strength of Judith and her maidservant in the way they’re holding the man down to keep him still while their killing him and in the way the artist arranges the women’s arms. I also see the amazement, terror, and vulnerability Holofernes is feeling by the way Artemisia painted in such detail in the look in his unnaturally wide eyes due to shock, his mouth is open like he’s either screaming for help or in pain, and how his body is contorted in an uncomfortable arrangement almost like he’s trying to get up to stop this assault. What mostly draws me and holds my attention to this painting is the raw intensified emotion Artemisia can show of the three characters in this dramatic climatic scene, how theatrical she is with the blood when Judith cuts into Holofernes neck, raw emotions, and how to me other paintings seem so “tame” compared to Artemisia Judith.
