Walker Paintings Of King Henry

The two artworks I chose to use for my essay are the Merode Altarpiece by Robert Campin, and The Deposition by Rogier van der Weyden. Both paintings are from the Early Renaissance, and I found both of them in my textbook. (Campin painting: page 307 and Weyden painting: page 311 in book “ART: A Brief History”)

Man has been creating art for over 30,000 years. There are cave drawings, sculptures, Egyptian art, Greek Art, Modern Art and plenty more but to many, the Renaissance Art period is considered to be most important. Never had so many geniuses in art lived at one time and never had so many pieces of cherished art been produced. Two examples of Renaissance paintings are Cigoli’s Adoration of the Shepherds and Moretto da Brescia’s Entombment. Both paintings posses the attributes that were popular during the Renaissance period which I will now contrast and compare.

"Self-Portrait" by Judith Leyster was created in 1635 and made out of oil on canvas. It measures 29 3/8" by 25 5/8." It is located at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.

The piece I will analyze from the previously mentioned gallery is Saint George Killing the Dragon by Bernat Martorell which was made in 1434/35. This piece is a painting made on a support of panel with a media of tempera and stucco. The main subject of the painting is a man wearing armor on a white horse. The man on the

King uses juxtaposition, visual and graphic imagery as symbolism to illustrate the sudden maturation Danny undergoes during his conversation with Tony. By symbolizing Danny's surroundings, King shows that Danny is beginning to more lucidly comprehend the world around him. Whilst running away from "the thing", the ground zooming beneath Danny's feet is pictured as "a blur beneath his feet" (King 423) that gradually turns to a "familiar black and blue pattern, sinuously woven together" (King 423). The abrupt metamorphosis of Danny's environment from "a blur" to "a familiar black and blue pattern" conveys the fact that Danny is now able to fully grasp the happenings taking place before his eyes. The "blur" symbolizes the numerous concepts Danny is unable to wrap his

The painting of Paul revere by John Singleton Copley was painted in 1768. John Singleton Copley was an American artist and Paul Revere’s painting was done by oil on canvas. The dimensions of the painting are 89.22 by 72.39 cm. According to the metropolitan Museum of art, “Paul Revere is Copley’s only finished portrait of an artisan dressed in shirtsleeves and shown at work.” This painting was painted after the famous ride of Paul Revere. It portrays Paul Revere as a silversmith and a revolutionary man.

In this painting there is the committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence. The committee is made up of John Adams, Roger Sherman, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. John Hancock, was the President of the Continental Congress. This painting has portraits of 42 of the 56 signers and 5 other patriots. All the portraits of the individuals in this room were paint from life meaning everyone sat there until the painting was done.

The person that modeled George was the American painter Worthington Whittredge who was a great landscape painter. He used a cast mask of Washington’s face that was made by Jean-Antoine Houdon at the end of the eighteenth century. Leutze used some of his studio mates and German friends as models for George Washington and the troops He chose to use the American flag but that was not adopted until many years later and not the flag that was used in 1776. The artillery shown in the painting is stated to be some misinformation. Although there were some inaccuracies his painting was accurate on the scene in the description. Henry Knox was also described in the painting as chief of artillery in another

Since hundreds of years ago, it has been a common practice to make statues or paint paintings of important individuals throughout history to commemorate their contributions. The use of these portrayals are to remind people of who the ruler or person was, while keeping them remembered by others for decades to come. Two works that explore remembrance in similar and different ways are Head, possibly a King, by African, by a southwestern Nigerian constructed in the 12th to 14th century, and Charles de Solier, Sieur de Morette, by Hans Holbein the Younger between 1534 and 1535. In both Head, possibly a King, and Charles de Solier, Sieur de Morette, the representations of these two individuals of power share a common theme of illustrating status, importance, and power to the viewers by using the depictions.

In this essay I will be expressing the research of three different rulers throughout three different time periods based upon their most famous works of art. So I can get a wide range of information, I have picked the following rulers from different periods: Queen Nefertiti of Ancient Egypt, Edward IV from Medieval England and finally Elizabeth I from the English Renaissance. I will be comparing and contrasting each ruler and how each of them changed the face of history.

. I will provide examples and analyses of those who judge this composition on an aesthetic basis and those that judge it on its moral tones and their purpose behind these choices. Depending on what side an academic falls, there is also controversy for what this means for the physical painting; is it then historically important but aesthetically immoral in modern society? Is the narrative so complex that it needs further research and appreciation? I will attempt to answer, or provide options, for not only what the potential moral tone of the painting is, but also what the composition means for future viewings.

The portrait is about 2 ' 6" x 1 ' 9" (77 cm x 53 cm) in size and is in the original wooden frame. The colors that used in the painting are
