Nature is beautiful and alluring. There is an architectonic complexity in sinuous curves. Whether smooth or rough; its beauty is sleek. The structure of frivolous iron provides a trendy and exuberant touch of the bark on the branches. Utilitarian and modern. Alexandre can transition in any style setting with its mix of mid-century influences, rustic finishes and traditional qualities.

Museums add new context for artworks, since historical items were not made to be in modern museums. A Pair of Sensing Angels by Circle of Bernaert Orley are two ‘one by three foot’ oil painting on wood from 1535-1540 that depicts two angels. When looking at “A Pair of Censing Angels” we can infer the subject, the value the painting held, and how the meaning alters in its present setting. This visual analysis will describe the artwork, analyze the formal elements used, and how the formal elements of the work and display affects the viewer.

This particular artwork is an appropriation of the rather majestic painting ‘North- East view from the northern top of Mount Kosciusko’ by Eugene von Guerard, produced in 1863. Tillers has re-contextualised the work and given it added value for the present time. ‘Mt Analogue’ explores ideas of authorship and originality through his use of appropriation. He has

First thing that I noticed about this gorgeous oil and tempera on panel painting was the precise emotional aspect: romantic and simple, yet so exceptionally lifelike. This work surely shows a development from the powerfully

The purpose of this essay is to evaluate two art pieces that were created by two tremendously gifted individuals during the Baroque to the contemporary period. Masters of their movements, both sculptors were able to create masterpieces that revealed an unfolding event that could be read by their viewers from all sides.

The Romantic era ascribed to the idea of the sublime - an idea that human emotions, all human emotions including horror, fear, and pain, produced an exhilarating thrill. In order to experience the full gamut of human emotion and the resultant high, the Romantics believed people should embrace all emotions, including the dark ones. However, experiencing horror and pain first hand were clearly detrimental, as witnessed with the mass executions of the French Revolution, but viewing these emotions from a removed setting, such as in art, poetry, and literature, allowed people to experience the thrill and complete exhilaration offered by the human experience. Often art and literature of the Romantic era depicted both horror and delight to offer a complete thrill and exploration of the human psyche. Henry Fuseli’s 1781 painting The Nightmare nicely embodies the idea of exploring both horror and sensuality. The subject of the painting is a young woman sleeping. On her chest sits a demon, gazing searchingly at the viewer as a ghostly horse looks on the scene in the background. Fuseli offers a bizarre image that so captivated his contemporaries that he painted several variations on the theme and the imagery continues to fascinate viewers 200 years later. Instead of cringing in horror at the demon on her chest, the woman’s back is arched sensuously, her arms hanging from her sleeping couch in complete surrender, yet

Do you feel that your leaders ever fail to use their authority in the way you believe they should? James Madison believes that government is power, and since humans are in charge of the right, it always has the ability of being misused. Communities revert to chaos when the authority figures abuse the influence they have. Madison’s argument is correct because people in general need strong rulers, so if the privilege given to the superiors is exploited, society begins to break down.

The article “Donald Trump’s Sales Pitch”, written by James Surowiecki relates to many themes in history, one such theme being the use of propaganda. Used by Donald Trump and countless other historical figures, Trump specifically uses it to his own benefit by presenting himself to the media as “someone who can’t be bought,” a powerful, wealthy, and motivated leader who could bring America to new heights, which is then passed down from the media to the public. Leaders in history can’t present themselves in any way they choose, which can easily deceive many. While Trump appears as he chooses, we are only capable of seeing what he wants us to see. Through this with any leader, people may elect somebody only to have that candidate turn out to be

Lastly, Golding also illustrates the organization and professions the workmen who construct the spire accurately. Roger Mason is at the head of the construction for the spire. He is a medieval master builder, someone who was highly skilled and overlooked most of the construction (“Medieval Mason”). They were responsible for designing the plan and then ordering his workmen to complete the jobs. Some professions of the workmen required certain skills, while others require physical strength. An important job in the construction that demanded superb skill was the master stonemason. Stonemasons were part of a guild, and would have to work his way up from an apprentice to a master mason by working on building sites and learning useful stone masonry

This emphasis illuminates how weighty perspective is when determining perceived masterpieces across cultures. She does so by tactfully offering Cameron’s comparison of the Lega’s material distinctions with European (p. 24). Hypothetically, a nation located in a place devoid of rocks may find a lump of coal to be the most artistically valued piece in the community while foreign appraisers may overlook, or even overestimate, its importance. Had history been different, so would

Another way in which the story may correspond with the sublime is Sierva's long red hair that had not been cut from the day she was born until the end of her excorcism. Wordsworth says, about the sublime, "Even in the scenes drawn from ordinary life, [the authors] would throw over them a certain coloring of the imagination" (qtd. in Sander 60). This effect is exactly what Marquez does with Sierva's hair. He alluded that there may be something supernatural about it. "The sublime affirm[s] a spiritual dimension to fantasy and explores, through fantastic images, the meaning and existence of spirit" (Sandner 145). Transformation, another sublime characteristic, is used to show how one's perception of something changes (qtd in Sandner 51). Instead of being just hair, it was a promise to Dominga's god. Defamiliarization, which is a characteristic of both the sublime and magical realism (Simpkins 150), is used in Of Love and Other Demons. It focuses one's attention on something, such as hair, that he or she would normally think nothing

The Large Bathers, 1898-1905 is the largest of Paul Cezanne's pictures and has been cited as an example of his ideal of composition and his restoration of classic monumentality after its lapse during the nineteenth century. Cézanne’s great achievement forced the young Picasso, Matisse, and many other artists to contend with the implications of Cézanne’s art. This essay will discuss how both Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life) and Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon are considered as inspired by and breaking free of The Large Bathers.

Two of the most extensively analyzed works of art are Diego Velasquez's Las Meninas and Jan Van Eyck's Arnolfini Double Portrait. Both of these artist's talent won them recognition not only during their lifetime but after as well. Both Velasquez and Van Eyck have a justly earned title as the most talented artists of their respective times. A detailed examination of the details and intricacies of these artist's respective masterpieces, their similarities, and what sets them apart not just from each other but from other paintings from their time period and style, will lead the viewer to a better understanding of the mentalities of these gifted artists and how they transcend their respective genres and contemporaries to create their own

A painting that portrays the sublime is Mercker’s Copper Mill at Duisburg on Rhine River (Türk, 2003, p. 266). The painting shows a large factory that is right on a river, and the machines present in the painting

One of the key themes within the idea of Romanticism is ‘the artist’. Taking Lowy and Sayre’s definition of romanticism into account, this figure could be described as
