Jacque-Louis David Oil

“David Slaying Goliath” by Peter Paul Rubens is an example of Renaissance art. This painting depicts a well-known Bible story of a young Israelite boy named David who kills the giant, Goliath, with a slingshot, and chops off his head with a sword. Rubens has chosen to illustrate this Bible story at the moment when David is about to hack off Goliath’s head with the giant’s sword. In addition, we see armor-clad soldiers rushing into battle in the background. In “David Slaying Goliath,” Peter Paul Rubens uses color, value, and line to illustrate the dynamism and energy within the painting that makes it look realistic. In addition, these elements contribute to the sense of excitement and anticipation of the event depicted.

To truly understand what is relevant about this story of the Horatii and this painting of David in relation to the French Revolution, it is important to make a distinction between the things that are relevant for this research and what is not. The renaissance of the Antiquity sort of means the same as the downfall of the Ancien Regime. Neoclassicism is connected to reality and the values of the Antiquity, wherein the Ancien Regime is connect to the beauty and plentifulness of the rococo style. That rococo style is something most monarchies could identify with.(Kunstkennis.nl)

This royal assembly is dominated not by Charles IV but by Queen María Luisa, whose ugly features are accentuated by her ornate costume and rich jewels. On its right is Self Portrait painted in 1803 by James Barry. Barry represents himself wearing an elegant red coat with a yellow waistcoat and white shirt underneath. In this portrait he is holding a painting of Cyclops, known in the the classical literature world as a one-eyed giant who devoured human flesh. In the background, windswept trees and an active volcano add drama towards the story of the portrait. Moving on, we are now viewing Napoleon Visiting the in the Plague-Stricken in Jaffa created in 1804 by painter Antoine-Jean Gros. The feeling of horror and sadness is within us all while viewing this painting due to Gros’ astounding emphasis on the pain felt by plague-stricken and the respect and kindness Napoleon expresses towards the ill. On the right is Madame Riviere painted sometime between 1805 and1806 by the famous painter Ingres. The subject of the painting is Madame Philibert Rivière, the wife of a high-ranking government official in the Napoleonic Empire.

Claude Vignon’s work called David with the Head of Goliath, is an interpretation of the artist Caravaggio’s original masterpiece, which shows art’s familiar paradigm, every painter paints himself. His motivation for creating this piece was from visiting rome in 1610, he was influenced by Caravaggism, which was art inspired in the style of Caravaggio. “Some art historians regard him as a precursor of Rembrandt.” Painted circa 1620-1623, it is an oil on canvas, made in Paris, France, 133.7 cm x 98 cm (52 5/8 in. x 38 9/16 in.). “Vignon was a French painter, printmaker and illustrator, and, in 1623, was one of the most respected, productive, and successful artists in France, in which his patrons were king Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu.” He was born into a wealthy family and started art lessons when he was a young boy. A theme could be religious rebellion against others who were seen as powerful such as Goliath, and were not fit to be in power.

According to the Getty museum states “Lagrenée played an important part in the French movement away from the Rococo style toward a more restrained, lassicizing expression”. “Deliberately rejecting the exuberant, artificial aesthetic of the mid-1700s, he revived instead the previous century's taste for cool colors and polished, refined technique”. The context in which the culture affected Alcibiades artwork was about race, gender, and class. Another information that I found interesting is that “The male dress is rendered in angular lines that contrast with the soft curves of the female attire. The men hold weapons as their job is war, while women’s jobs are concerned with children” . According to the Khan Academy states“In 1785 visitors to the Paris Salon were transfixed by one painting, Jacques- Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii. It depicts three men, brothers, saluting toward three swords held up by their father as the women behind him grieve—no one had ever seen a painting like it”.

The art piece created by Claude Vignon , “David with the Head of Goliath” has three important elements that are vital towards the piece in order to portray a message of power and authority. Which are the focal point, proportions, and the contrast of this particular piece. The artwork is oil on canvas that was made around in 1593-1670. The subject matter of the artwork is depicting the moment of pride David had with the head of the giant Goliath being laid next to his small body. The portrait of David is seen on the viewers middle left side, while the head of Goliath is in the middle right side next to David’s. David is seen wearing clothes that appear to be a size to big on him, to the point where the shirt is slipping from his shoulder (exposing his left shoulder). The clothes themselves are interpreted as royal clothing, having a big headpiece located in the top half of the painting. With the exposed shoulder being leaned forward on, in his left hand David holds a silver sword that is seen to to take

Rolfing is meant to improve the alignment and overall posture of your body.

The state of New Jersey and eventually local government agencies had a stake in this contamination. Newark Factory Sites which is a New Jersey Corporation purchased the property where the Refinery Stands today. The town of Kearny eventually bought the property from Newark Factory Sites and a permit for Diamond Head Oil Refinery was issued in 1948 to create a tank. In later years it was incorporated under the State of New Jersey and requested permits for building a one story masonry building to use for a boiler house. In later years the Oil Refinery operated under the same management as Bay City Oil. In 1952 Shur Flo Oil Co. is known to have worked with the Diamond Oil Refinery up until 1961.

The bottom of the cup is blackened and the water was emptied from the cup.

During this time artist Vik Muniz moves his life from living in Brooklyn New York to moving back to his home land of Brazil. Artist Vik Muniz returns to Brazil to create art from what surrounds people in their daily lives such as the work these people do at the landfill. One of the photographs he recreates is “Marat.” A Jacques-Louis David painting “The Death of Marat,” which was painted and released on the 14th of November 1793. “Marat” was a French revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat who was murdered by Charlotte Corday while sitting in his bath tub in which he sat all the time to soothe a skin disease in which he suffered from.

The first thing you notice in Matisse’s painting is the purple coat that Lydia Delectorskaya, his lover of many years, is wearing. This coat, an exotic Moroccan costume, with its bold and vivid color, jumps right out at its viewers. While Lydia reclines for her pose, the vase of flowers and fruit on the table in the foreground become apparent to the audience. As do the bold shapes and patterns that are on the walls, with their incredibly bright colors, outlined with thick lines.

Jacques-Louis David was a Neo-classical artist in 18th Century France. He painted in this serious style as a direct reaction against the accepted Rococo art era. Whilst the Rococo era was shallow and frivolous in subject matter (see The Swing, right), David’s paintings focused strongly on ideas of sacrifice and duty. But why would he work in this way? It was because David had a clear purpose for his art. He was a strong Republican who longed for the day when France would overthrow the gluttonous,

The portrait is displayed horizontally with a gold trimmed frame. The subject is a female that looks to be in her early 20’s sitting upright on a large brown chair. If the viewer travels up the painting the first indication of the woman’s class is her satin, blue dress. The saturated blue shines and falls in the light like water. Paired with the dress are her exceptionally detailed endings to her sleeves. The lace is even painted as though it is translucent, allowing a little of the blue dress to show through the sleeve. Flowers throughout history have symbolized innocence of a woman and her virginity. The repeating theme of flowers, in the sleeve cuffs and ribbon) in the woman’s attired suggests her purity or innocent nature. Another very details section of the painting includes the corset/torso details. The sewing suggests texture in the torso with small beading in between. Towards the top of the chest in the center, the female seems to bear an extravagant, ribbon piece with a tear drop bead in the center. The light pink

David was a supporter of the French Revolution and this may be his political influence on the painting even though Napoleon was a son of the Revolution as well.

Not only did David want to do this but his artistic viewpoints wanted him to reflect the use of propaganda to others through art in the Neoclassical era. In other words, he wanted to depict through the painting how politics during the French Revolution were taken sternly and had serious repercussions in a sort of misleading way. In the same way, if you did not fit into the rest of society and you stood out you were labeled as a target. As we see Marat was murdered by Corday who was seen as his political enemy. In the meantime, through the style of David’s painting we see the use of iconography or “the study or description of images and symbols” . Here in this painting of The Death of Marat we see the main image (i.e. Marat) being used as more than just the centerpiece of the work rather, the symbol of the work which means there is more to this work than just The Death of Marat. Strangely enough, we can see the use of iconography when comparing The Death of Marat to an almost political Christ of his people. Meaning that Marat was killed for his religious beliefs/political beliefs and died for his people as that of Christ did with his religious beliefs. Incidentally, we can say that “David’s clear sympathies for Marat and his transformation of the politician into a timeless martyr” or someone who sacrifices their life for not believing in Marat’s case the political beliefs of the others in
