I Look At The Painting By Angelica Kauffmann

The painting depicts real people doing everyday things, like studying. Classical Antiquity was greatly displayed through another painting it depicts a normal person holding a balance. In the Middle Ages this would have been frowned upon because they discouraged the making of realistic paintings (Follett software). Realistic paintings would not have been introduced to the Renaissance without the humanists studying classical antiquity.

Throughout the book, her nomadic family lived in extreme poverty where the children had to scramble for survival. Walls describes her family’s eating habits similar to those of cacti because “we ate irregularly, and when we did, we’d gorge ourselves” (22). Money would provide food for the Walls as rain would provide cacti their nutrients to survive. Jeannette assumed the responsibilities of head of the household when she was at the mere age of thirteen because her parents abandoned their roles as guardians. Looking from Wall’s perspective, money could solve several of the family’s problems such as their perilous living conditions and the constant need to feed their hunger. In addition, Walls’s mother Rose Mary was an artist. Every time the Walls received a paycheck, Rose Mary would sneak some of the funds to fuel her passion for arts. When Rose Mary received her inheritance from her deceased mother, she wanted to forget her responsibilities and spend the money to create more paintings. Abraham Lincoln said, “People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Rose Mary could use money to bring her happiness indirectly by purchasing art supplies. Thus, if money can fuel their passion and needs, then it can indirectly bring the individual

The era this piece most represents is the Renaissance art in the fifteenth-century Italy. It goes best with this era because of its use of nudity and shape and lighting. Its use of space of sharp edges and sculpture figures. Also the use of lighting shows an almost 3-D like image. Even though this is a print it almost seems like a picture of statues. The artist also used a sense of scale and proportion in this piece. Every statue is differently scaled from the others. The body parts on each statue did not quite fit with the other body parts. Every statue is different in size, stance, and color. Also the background behind each figure is different from the other ones, in its use of color and detail.

A. The painting of Alcibiades on His Knees Before His Mistress was painted in French,

In conclusion, parents that don’t have a lot of money have to make sacrifices. Parents make difficult decisions because they can’t to keep they can’t afford any other way out, to make their kids happy, and sacrifice their wants for their family’s needs. Although some say that poor families don’t make difficult decisions because people supply them money, but they are wrong because no one is helping the Lacey family. So the next time you find yourself wanting something that you can’t get, then think about the kids whose parents struggle to supply

During this style in both countries the sculptures and paintings had a feel of historicism, morality and antiquity. When it comes to the feature of historicism figure 23.4 of The Death of Germanius by Thomas Banks is a good example due to the fact that he tries to emphasize logic and credibility with the authenticy of his scene being as real and historical as possible, in comparison to figure 23.28 of The Death of Marat by David which was made to be used as propaganda so it wasn’t as informative and historical than Banks sculpture. In the morality aspect of this style women artist made influential pieces in both countries, however, England’s artist Angelica Kaufmann painting in figure 23.5 of Cornelia Presenting her Children as Her Treasures shows more a deeper meaning and background story with a well known historical figure compared to French’s piece in figure 23.29 of Marie-Louise Lebrun of her Self-Portait with Daughter which does tell a story as well but not quite as enriched as the other. When it cones to the difference in the Neoclassicism period from French to England in the architecture feature the focus in French were more for the exterior and playing with shapes using geometry to create uniqueness while England Architecture was based on antiquity and more had more of an interior

Neoclassical Art was an art form that followed the Baroque and Rococo art periods. Neoclassicism was a way for artists to display their wish to return to meaningful art, to escape the frivolity of landscapes and still life paintings, and paint something that had a moral, educational or inspirational value to the viewer. Neoclassical art was an attempt to return knowledge and purity back to art. Neoclassicism was mainly focused on Greek and Roman arts and stories of the classical era with some new advancement. It was a revival of antiquity.

The space, too, shows signs that this painting is from the Renaissance. There is clearly a recession in space, although it is seen mostly in the landscape beyond the main subject. But even in the foreground, the use of diagonals to create architectural

Sarah Painter I think your question is how can we reach everyone because the government can't/won't/doesn't, I believe that the perfect systems involves the citizen care more for their neighbor and their friend then having the latest iphone. I think if all of us willingly gave back to the community then we can reach each one. I'm reminded of a poem/story where a a guy is tossing sand dollars back in the ocean to give them another chance at life. And a guy asks you can't reach them all before hey die and he said I can make a difference in that one's life as he tosses another back in the ocean. We can make a difference with focusing on the one we can help.

The most notable feature of the far left, Italian Renaissance image is its emphasis on classicism in its design. The dome-shaped building in the background of the painting recalls that of the Pantheon of ancient Rome. The anatomy of the figures is extremely realistic and proportional, suggesting classical Greek and Roman sculpture. There is a symmetry and perfection in how the figures are arranged, as the man and the women are apparently exchanging rings in celebration of marriage under the auspices of a priest. The figures have a three-dimensional quality which contributes to the idealized, yet realistic texture of the work.

Prior to Phidias, art was simplistic and there weren’t many interpretations to be made from them. Ancient writers like Epictecus explains that this is not the case with Phidias’ art as there are multiple ways to interpret his complex works. Furthermore, expressionism is said to have resulted from the Parthenon where Phidias illustrates mythical moments and scenes of battle on its pediments and metopes respectively. Phidias encourages emotion, rather than dullness, allowing people to connect with the works and offer different interpretations of them. For instance, pediments of the Parthenon depict Poseidon and Athena competing for the love of Athens. Some viewers may empathize with Poseidon while others may empathize with Athena. Previously, art did not stir these varying viewpoints, and so the revolution of the classical style and thought is sparked by

The piece of art that I am analyzing for this reflection is, “At 54,” created by Riva Lehrer in 2013. According to her website, she used acrylic and collage as her choice of medium, which adds texture and multiple dimensions to a typically flat painting (Lehrer). The background is a textured blue, with gold star constellations towards the top. In the foreground is a white middle-aged woman in a pink outfit. She is positioned like a marionette with puppet strings attached to a wood tool to control the puppet, which she is holding and is coming out off of the canvas. Her outfit consists of a sheer tank top, which is held together in the middle by blue string, and a skirt held up by the same blue string. It appears that the skirt is coming out

Three fascinating artists known as Raphael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo marked the stylistic period of the Italy 1500 to 1600. These three men inspired the high Renaissance. Florence and Rome hosted the leading artist for that century. I will like to describe a painting of Raphael that caught my attention from reading the textbook; it is called the Marriage of the Virgin. In this painting the artists used linear perspective to create the illusion of space in the far back. He placed the vanishing point of the one point perspective in the doorway of the beautiful painted round house that is symmetrical on both side. The artists created the plaster in different sizes of rectangular shapes in red and cream colors to emphasize on the importance of linear perspective in the painting. If the painting was divided in two parts, the viewer will see that it is symmetric on both sides. There are thirteen figures on each side of the painting with the high priest being the middleman placed in the center of the human drama. He also put the figures in groups that relate to the part they each play in the artwork, this is known as a unified figure group in high

"A picture can paint a thousand words." I found the one picture in my mind that does paint a thousand words and more. It was a couple of weeks ago when I saw this picture in the writing center; the writing center is part of State College. The beautiful colors caught my eye. I was so enchanted by the painting, I lost the group I was with. When I heard about the observation essay, where we have to write about a person or thing in the city that catches your eye. I knew right away that I wanted to write about the painting. I don’t know why, but I felt that the painting was describing the way I felt at that moment.
