Evolution Of Baroque Art

Goya The Great Francisco Goya was one of the most influential romantic artists from the 19th and 20th century; He is often referred to as both the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns. Throughout his lifetime his work moved from lighthearted and happy, to deeply cynical. He attributed to Romanticism and modernism in artwork by challenging the rhetoric of the time period and creating work that evoked emotion through unique brush strokes, color choice, and challenging subject matter. Goya attributed to the modern in many ways, but especially by challenging the rhetoric of the time period. During the 18th century, modernism became classified as art that did not just simply record a picture, but one that created its own detailed perception of the world.

She was taught he techniques from her father, Orazio, who was one of Caravaggio’s earliest followers. Gentileschi most famous painting, “JUDITH BEHEADING HOLOFERNES” 1619-1620, oil on canvas, 1.99 x 1.63m located in the Galleria deglii Uffizi, Florence with Caravaggio’s, “BACCHUS”. With first sight of Gentileschi painting you will see Caravaggio’s style and technique of tenebrism and naturalism. Tenebrism in this particular painting is dramatic and pulls the viewer into the knife cutting the jugular of Holofernes as blood spurts from his neck. The blood soaked sheets and blood splatter is another example of realism that both artist share.

It is known that Andrea moved to Corella during a war between Florence and Milan, but moved back afterward. By 1440, he was well-known enough to be commissioned for his art. One of his first works was multiple frescoes, painted on the Palazzo del Podestà, showing traitors being hung by their heels after the Battle of Anghiari. For that artwork, he was given the nickname of “Little Andrea of the Hanged Men”. By 1442, Andrea was in Venice and painting frescoes in the San Tarasio chapel with

Throughout Hop-Frog’s time spent serving the king, the king and the seven ministers physically and mentally abused him; he lost his life in order to be forced to serve the king. Lastly, Hop-Frog helped others who the king would have hurt if he had survived. The king did nothing but hurt Hop-Frog with his harsh demands and his horrendous jokes. It is only fitting that Hop-Frog’s revenge is disguised as a joke. “I am simply Hop-Frog … and this is my last jest” (Poe

Federico Barocci was known as “a pioneer artist for the Italian Baroque painting at the tail end of the Mannerist period”. He was known for his use of “syrupy sweet and poignantly pious religious paintings…”.It is said that Murillo’s paintings could be mistaken for Barocci’s painting, because Murillo painting also had a “sentimental softness”. Many of Murillo’s painting contained religious subject matters such as Adoration of the Shepherds, The Holy Family, The Immaculate Conception, and Madonna and Child (Bartolome Estaban

Matthew” is an oil on canvas scenery piece from the Baroque period in Italy. The painting was commissioned for the Contarelli chapel in the French church of San Luigi dei Fancesi in Rome (Artble). Caravaggio, however, was not the initial artist to be commissioned for the work to be completed at dei Francesi, instead his employer; Cavaliere d’Arpino was the original winner of the commission. Due to overscheduling on d’Arpino’s behalf, Caravaggio was later awarded the commission and completed his most prized work. During the time this painting was commissioned, mannerism was dying, the Italian Aristocracy along with funding from the church during the Counter-Reformation allowed for artists to expand on the style of the Italian Renaissance and the left-overs of mannerism to create a bolder, more realistic style, the Baroque.

After graduating from Marietta College in 1882, he moved to New York to study at the Art Students League from 1884 to 1886. Later, he moved to Paris to study at the Académie Julian, the Académie Colarossi, and the Académie de la Grande Chaumier. He then studied privately with Carolus Duran in 1888. That same year, Butler won an honorable mention at the Paris Salon for his painting "La Veuve" (the Widow). He also traveled to

Da Messina (known as Antonello di Giovanni di Antonio or Antonello degli Antoni) was a famous European (namely Italian) painter during the Renaissance. He was born in approximately 1430 in Messina, Sicily. However, historians are not sure about what Da Messina did during his childhood and young adult years. Da Messina might have introduced oil painting and Flemish artistic techniques into (approximately) fifteenth-century Venetian art. He traveled to quite a few places such as Rome, Naples, Milan, and Venice to study the nature of art and to actually paint his artworks.

It is unclear where his nickname Botticelli meaning ‘little barrel’, comes from but most believe it was given to him during his apprenticeship. There is also a consensus that Botticelli first found an interest in painting during this time. From the goldsmith, Botticelli

In Titian’s early stages, when he studied at the Venetian painting school, he was pupil of Giovanni Bellini and worked along Giorgione, two well-known Renaissance painters. They were the main influence on the technique he developed and the themes he used to work on. One of his first important works when his career started was at Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Fari in Venice, where he painted “The Assumptionof

Even though in my opinion, throughout the history, art was, in great part, always used to convey messages and as a means to impose ideas, in the particular cases of Neoclassical and Romantic movements this conspicuous intent raises to the eyes of a trained observer. Not surprisingly, both styles share their origins in a revolutionary France and echoed Nicolas Poussin 's 17th century classicism as a form to put rationalism before the sensuality observed in the Rococo (Gersh-Nesic, n.d., para. 1). In that moment of history, France was experiencing the dualism between monarchy and republican ideals. As McCoy (n.d.) puts, Neoclassical pioneer painter Jacques-Louis David 's Oath of the Horatii (Figure 1 oil on canvas, 3.3 x 4.25m, commissioned by Louis XVI, painted in Rome, exhibited at the salon of 1785 -- today in the Musée du Louvre), could be interpreted as designed in order to "rally republicans (…) by telling them that their cause will require the dedication and sacrifice of the Horatii" (para.

In addition, Diego Velazquez was also an individualistic artist in the period of Baroque. For example, Diego Velazquez was a portrait artist and he also created the religious paintings. Diego Velazquez patron was Philip IV, Diego Velazquez met Philip IV when he was really young, and then Philip IV was impressed by the talent of Diego Velazquez, Philip IV asked Diego Velazquez to chief court artist and chamberlain of palace, which was a position to get involved in advertising the king display and acquisitions. Velázquez decided to live in Madrid

Throughout the time of the Northern Renaissance, “Christian Humanists thought that the best elements of classical and Christian cultures should be combined…The classical ideas of calmness, stoical patience, and broad-mindedness should be joined in human conduct with the Christian virtues of love, faith, and hope” (McKay 384). The themes of love and hope hold prominence in many of Shakespeare’s tragedies. His ability to illustrate characters through actions and emotions largely associates him with this central idea. The use of describing characters through emotive language is largely evident in Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare describes Romeo and Juliet as “star-crossed lovers”, and he perfectly illustrates this idea by showing the extremes that the two protagonists go through just to be in each other’s
