Summary Of Self-Portrait With Two Pupils

The artwork being analyzed is called Nameless and Friendless and it was completed in 1857 by Emily Mary Osborn. The artwork was most likely created in England, where she was from. The media is oil paints on canvas, rather than the wood that was usually used. It is currently on display in Tate, Britain.

The art piece that I selected for my analysis is called The Triumph of Divine Love by Peter Paul Rubens. The artwork is an oil painting on canvas, circa 1625. This piece of art was commission by Isabella Clara Eugenia, Infanta of Spain and Portugal. The Triumph of Divine Love was one of eleven art pieces in a series portraying the Eucharist cycle, an important issue in the Catholic-Protestant strife. Its purpose was to aid in the Catholic Reformation and the artwork was to be displayed at the Convento de las Descalzas Reales in Madrid. (Ringling Museum n.d.)

Thirdly, the texture of the painting I see when viewing the painting is velvety and silky. I feel that the velvety texture is caused by the smoothness of Marilyn’s face. In addition, the silkiness I see is due to the gold paint that surrounds Marilyn’s face. Fourthly, the use of value is present on the painting by the lightness and minimal darkness. For example, the darkest value is seen on Marilyn below her chin on her neck, eyes, her lips, on the right side of her face, and on minimal parts of her hair. I feel that the dark value creates the illusion of shadows. In addition, the golden brown paint that surrounds Marilyn is dominant because it shimmers when light reflects it. Moreover, the lightness is present by the yellow, turquoise, and pink colors. In addition, the lightest value of color is white which is on Marilyn’s teeth. Lastly, the colors viewed on the painting consist of golden brown, black, yellow, pink, turquoise, dark red, and

1510, right in the middle of the Renaissance. The painting is rectangular in shape and

Celebrated artists Elisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun and Marianne Von Werefkin have contributed to the evolution of two different art styles and the appreciation of female artists. Le Brun’s Self Portrait in a Straw Hat exemplifies the prominence of Neoclassicism and the Rococo movement during eighteenth century France. Von Werefkin established herself as an Expressionist in her Self Portrait in the rise of the twentieth century. Both representational pieces provide the viewer with a candid insight into the temperament of each artist, reflecting their artistic influences and the time period in which the artworks were created. Consequently this has affected their application of colour, tone and composition, creating two distinctive self portraits.

Brett whiteley’s self portrait in the studio was a realism painting and stretch the definition of portraiture. I think that the artwork is set in Brett Whiteley's studio with his furniture and his other artworks around him. I think that this painting feels calm.

The next work is from Peter Paul Rubens. This creation was probably made in mid-1630 during his stay in Madrid. The painting is named “Venus and Adonis”. We can find that Rubens was one of the most interested artists of endowing the art of painting with prestige. He is the symbol of the baroque scholar Velazquez always wanted to imitate. This is due to its wide humanistic and religious culture, the mastery of several languages, the skills for diplomacy and its natural intelligence. Rubens reaped important prizes and noble distinctions of the kings of Spain and England that allowed him to acquire the dominion of Steen. For this reason he always self-portraits as a perfect gentleman, dressed elegantly and with the distinctive elements of his

This paper is going to be a close examination of Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of Matilda Stoughton de Jaudènes, an oil canvas dating from the year 1794. Initially, there is going to be provided a formal analysis of the work of art in question as far as the elements of Art are concerned. Thereafter, attention will be drawn to how the sitter is conveyed through the artist’s artistic choices on the painting. With reference to that, multiple aspects of the piece will be discussed as to the way in which they contribute to attributing an identity to the sitter. Lastly, the paper will elaborate upon how two formal artistic elements effectively convey one aspect of the sitter’s identity. In particular, the elements of color and light will be

On page 87 in Artforms is the painting Self-Portrait in a Straw Hat. This oil painting was produced by Marie Louise Elizabeth Vigee-LeBrun in the year 1782. The work of art depicts a young woman, presumably the artist, posing in front of a clouded blue sky. The figure is clothed in a rose colored dress with white ruffle along the neckline, a navy blue colored shawl which is wrapped around the crooks of her arms, and a straw hat adorned with bright red, blue, and white flowers. A large white feather with black trim is protruding from the hat. The lady in the portrait is facing forward and holding paint brushes and a palette topped with paints in her left hand. Her hair frames her face and fall on top of her

The piece I chose is Pablo Picasso’s “Nude combing her hair”. I first saw it at the Kimbell Art Museum and remember admiring it. It was finished in 1906 and is oil paint on canvas. The main (only) figure in this painting is a nude woman, standing, who appears to be combing through her hair with her fingers after bathing. Although abstract, Picasso creates a very elegant, raw, and naturalistic form using color, space, and his depiction of figure.

Gender discrimination is an issue that is ongoing since the colonial times. However, the fight against gender discrimination is not just an issue of the past, but also an issue of the present. In the current 21st century, there are many people who are still fighting for women's equality in society. Women are still getting paid less than men, and are still looked down upon in certain career paths. More action is needed to bring awareness to people about the inequality women still struggle through. More people need to be informed about the inequality women face. Adelaide Labille Guiard’s oil painting in Paris from 1749-1803 called Self Portrait with Two Pupil, served as a propaganda to fight for women’s attendance in the French Academie Royale. It illustrates a self portrait of Guiard, herself, and two of her pupils, Marie Gabrielle and Marie Marguerite Carreaux de Rosemond. In her self portrait, she paints herself in an art studio while her two pupils are by her side. Like Guiard’s self portrait, more effort through social media and the arts

Copley’s piece titled Portrait of a Lady in a Blue Dress created in 1763 by John Singleton Copley, represents an unnamed female portrait painted with oil on canvas. The piece currently resides in the Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois. The work of art can be seen from one side only because it hangs on the wall. There is a great deal of indications in the painting to show the viewer who this woman was and how she ranked high within society.

Abraham de Vries’ Double Portrait depicts a man and a woman sitting at a table. The woman looks up from her reading while the man turns in his chair. Both of them look out of the frame into the viewer’s space. There is a calm, unified axis of the head and the body for both
