Peeters And Garzoni

Jane’s goal is clearly much higher than reproducing other’s works. She sees herself acquiring the skills of a professional artist. Jane

In Jean-Honoré Fragonard painting The Happy Lovers (appendix: fig. 1), viewers are able to get a glimpse into the light-hearted, playful Rococo period. The Happy Lovers is a 35.5 x 47.75 in. oil painting, that was created between the years 1760–5 in France for an unnamed aristocrat; however, it can now be found in the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California. The Rococo period was a result of artists resisting the stiff monarchy, and desiring open expressionism–this was particularly emphasized through nature. The two great artists from this period are Fragonard and François Boucher, Fragonard’s teacher. A result of Boucher teaching Fragonard, specifically in the continuation of pastoral, Boucher was a great influence. This is obvious when The Happy Lovers is compared to Boucher’s The Bird Catchers (appendix: fig. 2). Both paintings include subjects of women holding bird catchers and doves, ultimately symbolizing woman’s ability to control relationships. More specific to The Happy Lovers, the woman dangles the cage above the boy, who is carrying a dove, a symbol of Venus–the goddess of love. However, in the bottom left quadrant of the painting there is an even larger cage with more doves, hinting at the idea that women can easily capture many men. This further expands the sensual intention Fragonard creates. In placing this scene within a secluded landscape, Fragonard emphasizes the flirtation and secretiveness between the two lovers–creating an unstructured, blissful

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.

Their individual perspectives in life ultimately shaped their education, experiences and overall point of view. This essay will outline the similarities and differences in subject matter, tone and imagery of these two artists’ bodies of work.

The pieces Ann Whitley Russell, done by an unknown artist in around 1820 and Lady Frances Knowles, also done by an unknown artist, in the mid-late 17th century are both examples of portraits that portray the sitters in diverse yet insightful ways to viewers. Both Ann Whitley Russell and Lady Frances Knowles are works of art composed of oil paint on canvas. Although these portraits are different, the aspects of space, color, and composition are all important elements that must be considered while comparing the woman in these two pieces.

Perhaps illness so influenced the artistic style of Van Gogh, but the picture turned out completely different to all that the artist wrote so far. This is not a Van Gogh, who was known. In the canvas, there is tension, anxiety, dense colors and warm shades of olive-mustard. On the contrary, here there is some kind of lightness, airiness, and transparent weightlessness. On the manner of execution, the pattern resembles Japanese prints: iris field full of peace, a lightness, and transparency. "Irises" are simple and unique, they are striking in their serenity and the ability to remove the internal stress of everyone who saw at least reproduction. Painting simply breathes watercolor, translucency and make to look at it more than one hour.

At first glance, the similarities between Vincent van Gogh and Georgia O’Keeffe appear minimal at best. A young van Gogh died penniless and largely unknown in a remote backwater in the south of France, while O’Keeffe lived out a long and illustrious life as one of the most famous artists of the early twentieth century. Where O’Keeffe was the object of admiration and fascination, van Gogh was the object of pity and derision. Where O’Keeffe was heralded in her lifetime for capturing the spirit of the desert landscapes of her beloved New Mexico, van Gogh was a was a man without a country, driven by destitution and illness to wander Europe in search of peace and some measure of stability. Despite their differences, however, O’Keeffe and van Gogh share vital similarities. Both van Gogh and O’Keeffe used art to advocate for the inclusion of the disenfranchised and the forgotten (namely, the poor and the ill in van Gogh’s oeuvre and women in O’Keeffe’s); both revolutionized how the natural world is seen; both are characterized by aesthetic styles which are highly sensory and sensual, representing psychological and physical states in such groundbreaking ways that they change the modern world’s understanding of what it means to be human.

In Peasant Woman Cooking by a Fire Place, there is a great amount of value. For example, there is darkness around her nose and cheeks. This darkness symbolizes a dark cloud hanging over her, like she has shame and wretchedness sticking with her. Another example is the darkness around the edges of the painting. This darkness is like an arch around the peasant woman. By creating this distribution of value, Van Gogh creates a murky feeling. Van Gogh’s main purpose for this distribution of value was to create an overall feeling for the audience, a feeling that would have the audience sense the challenging and depressing moments of peasants and lower class. The richness of the darkness helps the audience deeply feel the emotions of the peasant. There is also a hint of lightness in this artwork. The fire she is cooking on acts as the main light in the peasants living area. The fire lights up her face and hands, as well as behind the sitting

Mothers’ love and care The two images, “Marie Antoinette and her Children” by Vigee-Lebrun and “Destitute Pea Pickers in California” by Dorothea Lange, show the obvious differences in the appearances of characters, color, and background. In fact, the similarity of the two images makes it easy for the viewers to see the differences and to compare and contrast. While the images are both show the living conditions of the family of four, Marie Antoinette's image shows a great wealthy life with the joys expressed in the mother’s face while the Migrant mother's image shows a destitute life of a migrant family with a mother’s worry face. Lebrun’s painting shares the mother’s happiness when her family is having a prosperous life while Lange’s photo reveals the anxieties of a mother when her children are having a hard life.

Female artists Caterina van Hemessen and Judith Leyster both composed self-portraits of themselves painting on canvases. Hemessen and Leyster, express themselves similarly through their own self portraits. Viewers can picture similarities and differences by looking at basic comparisons, what is incorporated into each of the paintings, and the significance of each painting.

A high-level shot is taken to show all the arranged objects exquisitely. Many symbols are incorporated into this photograph like pumpkin which symbolises resurrection and salvation and the grapes that are a figure of Christ. Thus, the photograph, “Possum with five birds, (2003),” clearly describes how Marian Drew Marian Drew pays respect to native animals of antipodean land and exposes how they have suffered unnatural deaths as a result of humans. ’ Possum with five birds,’ explores a religious aspect with the ideals of resurrection, salvation, and Christ symbolised through the amalgamation of grapes and a pumpkin. Her photograph relates back to the historical time periods, specifically the 17th century, however, altered for a modern-day audience.

This essay will compare and contrast the work of two sculptors who use the human form as a basis of their artwork. The first sculpture “Apollo and Daphne” by Gian Lorenzo Bernini was created in 1622 and portrays a Romanian story. Where as “Two Women” by Ron Mueck is a hyper realistic sculpture made by an Australian contemporary artist.

Study of a Young Woman and Babie I are paintings that display different ideas of beauty. Study of a Young Woman, by Johannes Vermeer, is a “tronie” of a young woman. Vermeer made this painting so the woman displayed in the piece is not conventionally beautiful but beautiful in a way that art can not represent. Babie I by Lisa Yuskavage is a painting of a woman that appears to be waiting while holding a wilted bouquet of flowers. The woman’s facial features also do not convey a conventional image of beauty.

I will be comparing two famous paintings by two very famous Artists in two different periods of time. The Bath done by Edgar Degas a distorted Japanese-style perspective in Pastel painted in 1886 and Grande Odalisque by a young artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres in the style of exotic Romanticism Oil on canvas from 1814. These famous artists Degas and Jean slightly differ from other artist for their personalities and views can be seen through their paintings. Both works of art depict beautiful women in different ways posing in different manners yet these paintings are similar in many ways. These paintings vary through the use of many different mediums and techniques.

Vanitas is a still life painting of 17th century Dutch genre containing symbols of death or change as a reminder of their certainty and memento Mori, which is an object serving as a warning or reminder of death like a skull. The cow skull with cowboy hat both indicate death for humans and animals because the skull alone symbolizes the invertibility of being dead. Also, it adds some sort of humor to the composition to remind us that death can come at anytime and to live life to the fullest because our demise can occur where it’s least expected. Historically, the cow skulls have been used in rituals where usually a life needs to be sacrificed and it’s a symbol of death. As for the hat it means usually riders of any animals wear cowboy hats, which
