362 Words2 Pages

EXHIBIT 65: GAULLI, “Triumph of the Name of Jesus”, 1674-79, ceiling fresco.
EXHIBIT 42: CORREGGIO, “Assumption of the Virgin”, 1522-30, fresco.

Giovanni Battista Gaulli, also known as Il Baciccio was a famous painter in the Baroque and Catholic Counter-Reformation period. His work of art “Triumph of the Name of Jesus” deals with classical and tenebrism themes, using light and dark contrasts with illusionistic perspective painting. “The nave fresco, with its contrast of light and dark, spills dramatically over its frame, then turns into sculptured figures, combining painting, sculpture, and architecture” (Janson, p.673). The illusion of clouds and angels floating down through an opening in the church's vault shows the technique called trompe-l'oiel.

  • Justinian's Legacy

    In conclusion, the goals outlined by Justinian in my opinion included the reformation of the existing Roman law, the expansion of Byzantium, and the support for religious unity, were all achieved to different degrees by one of the greatest emperors of the Western world, Justinian. Justinian sought to reform the Empire and bring it back to life after the western half of the Roman Empire was lost. Due to Justinian and his substantial effort to restore Rome, Justinian has earned the nickname of the “Last Roman”. Justinian’s ambition and servitude towards the restoration of the Roman Empire is admirable and inspiring. Not only did Justinian’s legacy help shape Rome and the Roman Empire for years after his death, but his legacy leaves history with

Moreover, due to being a woman and having a famous rape trial, this overshadowed her very successful artistic career.

    The first two paintings I chose are Caravaggio’s Judith of Holofernes and Gentileschi’s Judith Decapitating Holofernes because my first thought when seeing these was that these paintings are graphic and extremely uncommon. There is blood everywhere as women cut off a man’s head. That message right there is intense. Baroque style includes extreme realism. Both paintings are based on Catholic biblical stories.

  • Renato Gutusso Analysis

    At the Long Beach Museum of Art, hangs a painting from 1957 that is very reminiscent of artwork by Paul Cezanne, however this painting was created by an Italian artist with the name of Renato Gutusso. In his painting, “Paessagio” Gutusso captures the cityscape of Palermo, Italy in a very geometric fashion with a very limited pallet; bringing together both his creativeness and influence of Cezanne. Upon first viewing this work from across the room I instantly felt like I had in fact found something painted by Paul Cezanne. I was actually shocked to see that this was not one of Cezanne’s works but that of an artist named Renato Gutusso, many decades after Cezanne’s death in 1906.

  • Art Analysis: The Annunciation By Fra Angelico

    The Annunciation by Fra Angelico is a painting in “tempura style,” which is a method of painting with pigments dispersed in an ointment typically egg yolk mixed with water. The Annunciation was “dated around 1425-1426 with a provenance of Convento de Santo Domingo, Fiesole, 1425/28-1611”(1). Fra Angelico, in The Annunciation, merges “the late Gothic Italian style with the new language of the Renaissance. An example of this is the architecture’s spatial depth, which, while in keeping with Brunelleschi’s recommendation to occupy the center of a square and unadorned stage, nevertheless shows some of the errors present in Angelico’s early works”(1). Written texts, relics, and manuscript illuminations can be used to encourage a belief that the divine
