Ruben Studdard

Unit 5 IP September 28, 2013 Among the three artists Rubens, Caravaggio, and Rembrandt there have been many magnificent works of art. There are many different similarities and differences within each Artists works, aesthetic qualities and symbolic significance, as well as the artists' points of view for each work of art. Rubens, (Peter Paul Rubens) “was a prolific seventeenth-century Flemish Baroque painter, and a proponent of an exuberant Baroque style that emphasized movement, color, and

Peter Paul Rubens’ masterpiece, Venus and Adonis, is not only a significant artwork of the baroque-period in Europe during the seventeenth century, but it also tells the mythological story that begins with love, and ends in tragedy. Displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this painting is admired for representing the unique baroque-style of this era, as well as Rubens’ particular use of the medium and how it reaches those who are viewing it. His attention to detail and crafty use of symbolism

Rubenistes. Two great pieces of art that were created in the 1600’s are Peter Paul Rubens’ The Caledonian Boar Hunt and Nicolas Poussin’s Landscape with Calm. While Rubens argues that color is the most important part of the painting Poussin argues that the drawing is more important. In the paragraphs below I will talk about the paintings each individually and then compare them. The first painting I will be talking about is Rubens’ The Caledonian Boar Hunt. This painting is a depiction of mythological event

El arte barroco se desarrolla entre los siglos XVII y XVIII. El arte será el vehículo de propaganda tanto de la Iglesia de la Contrarreforma, como de los Estados absolutistas o de la burguesía protestante. En el barroco la figura humana se alza como objeto decisivo del arte, pero no en su forma idealizada, sino en cualquier aspecto, ya sea este bello o feo, sublime o cotidiano.

Catholic Baroque era goes to Peter Paul Rubens. Peter Paul Rubens was and is one of the most celebrated artists in Europe; both throughout the course of his lifetime, as well as throughout the entire Catholic Baroque era. His works are currently on display in some of the most prominent museums around the world; including the Musee du Louvre in Paris, The Metropolitan Museum in New York City, The Getty Museum in Los Angeles and many more.

Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) painted The Raising of the Cross in 1609-1610, when he was about the age of the martyred Christ. Until 1794, this colossal work (central panel: 460 x 340 cm, side panels: 460 x 150 cm) was part of the high altar of the St. Walburgis Church, which was later demolished. The painting was once taken away by the emperor when Napoleon ruled France. However, the painting was returned to Antwerp in 1815, and it is located in the Our Lady’s Cathedral since 1816. The whirling

Part I: The Getty museum is absolutely breathtaking. When you step off the tram you are surrounded by white marble and stone above the hectic LA area. The all white buildings allow for a “clean slated” mindset where you are able to open your mind the the pieces within. It sits above the greater Los Angeles area. There are several buildings in which the collections are located, each being two stories. The space contributes significantly to the art in that it allows you to have a clear clean palette

painter for the Royal Family of Spain. His individual style included striking brushwork contrasting the academic techniques applied by Baroque painters. While living at the royal court, he met fellow painter Peter Paul Rubens who was also working for King Philip IV. Peter Paul Rubens was a Flemish artist who was known as the “prince of painters”. He gained this nickname by mostly working for nobility during the Baroque era. He was even granted honorary knighthood by King Philip IV and King Charles

Protestant Reformation. The Church encouraged artists to create works of art that would connect their audience intellectually and emotionally with religious themes. For my final visual analysis I have chosen Hero and Leander, by Peter Paul Rubens (Figure 1). Rubens created this oil on canvas painting between 1604 and 1605 in Lombardy, Italy. Ruben’s painting features Leander, a youth of Abydos, who used to swim across the waters at night to Sestos on the opposite side to meet his lover Hero, a priestess

INTRODUTION Understanding the various forms of baroque art requires knowledge of its historical context. The 17th century could be called the first modern age. Human awareness of the world was continuously expanding. Many scientific discoveries influenced art; Galileo's investigations of the planets, for example, account for astronomical accuracy in many paintings of the time. BAROQUE STYLE--emphasized movement, contrast and variety as with the painter Caravaggio who used dark' s in background in
