Portraits

the portrait of Marie Antoinette with her Children. I found this portrait very interested in me; I am going to give you a brief information on the artist of the artwork. This portrait was by Elisabeth Louise Vigee-Lerun and the portrait is oil on canvas, 9’ ½” x 7’5/8”. The portrait was created in 1700 in France. It’s a portrait of a French queen who is Marie Antoinette along with her children as a good mother to her children, but there is no sign of the father in the portrait. The portrait is a

The Greek Theater:      "The arts of the western world have been largely dominated by the artistic standards established by the Greeks of the classical period" (Spreloosel 86). It is from the Greek word theatron, meaning a place for sitting, that we get our word theater. According to James Butler, "The Greeks were the first people to erect special structures to bring audiences and theatrical performers together" (27). "The theaters were normally located

The season for senior portraits is upon us. Major photography chains are contracted with high schools which present the same common portraits that went out of date years ago. Students are uninspired bout the photography offered to them through their school. High school senior pictures need to make the soon-to-be graduate feel confident and proud how of how far they have come, but also stand the test of time when reflected upon for future generations. These photographs should portray individuality

I also chose not to show my facial identity in the portraits to express that the subjects are part of my identity. However, there is one single self portrait in response to Manet’s Olympia, addressing the fact that although these men define me, at the end of the day I am an independent

A portrait in art as we know is an artist’s representation of another person or one’s self, in which the face is the main subject matter. As one of the most widely used forms of art adopted by painters, sculptures and photographers, at some point in our lives we have all had our portrait taken either it being in a photographic studio, sat for a fine artist or in your local post office in the passport photo booth. The photographic portrait is a paradox of everlasting contradictions and whether identity

of countries change, so do the seemingly proper portrayal of rulers. This is clearly seen as the portraits of Japanese rulers changed through their country’s modernization. Though common themes of strength and militant emphasis persist throughout the portraits, great differences in overall style and mood correlate to the changing values of Japanese society over time. A common theme throughout portraits of Japanese leaders has been an effort to radiate power. The men are pictured alone, emphasizing

Discuss the purpose behind the portrait of Jesus presented in one of the four gospels. Use the gospel text as your starting point. The opening verse of The Gospel According to Mark states, “The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” (Mark 1:1, NRSV) From the outset of Mark’s Gospel Jesus is portrayed as the Messiah who has come to the world in God’s favour (Mark 1:1-11). Mark’s Gospel proclaims the good news of Jesus which would have helped to reaffirm the faith of Christian

Portrait of Augustus as General Roman portraiture was one of the most significant periods in the development of portrait art. The characteristics of Roman portraitures are more modest, realistic, idealized, and natural. Also, the body compositions, muscles and facial expressions of portraits and sculptures are more advanced. Many roman portraits are directly linked to specific individuals, such as gods and emperors. They were often used for propaganda purposes and included ideological messages

This portrait talks about the commonly known "date rape" drug. This portrait also tells us the awareness of GHB which contains chemicals in which predators use in order to rape victims like Patricia White. As the portrait mentioned about Patricia White, she and other coworkers were celebrating her boss birthday; as she was about to leave her boss gave her a bottle of water, she drank the water, few hours later she woke up naked in her bosses bed and nauseas. Investigation took place and

back on how I impacted those around me or if I was actually living my life instead of just going through the motions. I thought I had so much time left in high school but when the letter in the mail came for senior portraits I knew that my time was up. My time for the senior portrait was at 1 PM two days after my school let out for summer break. I nervously applied my
