Titian's Venus Of Urbino

The amount of similarities at hand are easily outnumbered by the amount of differences present between the two pieces. Even with the two paintings being created within the span of a year apart, they each have different styles. Titian’s Venus of Urbino, created in

Bernini’s sculpture was created for sensual and spiritual pleasure, and was meant to focus on Teresa’s unionization with Jesus Christ as an arrow pierces her heart. The sculpture is made of white marble, and the subject is surrounded by bronze “rays.” The use of material symbolizes purity and grace, as well as contrasting materials, such as dark columns making the sculpture seem brighter. Bernini uses examples of movement to show intense emotion and servitude through by accentuating position of the angel’s arm, the folds and creases in clothing, as well as the appearance of Teresa’s crumpled clothing and the facial

PART 3Jan Van Eych is well known for his works during the renaissance movement. One ofthese arts is “Giovanni Arnolfini and His Wife”. This painting depicts a marriage in progressbetween Giovanni Arnolfini , an Italian Merchant, and a women. Although, there have beenrecent arguments that suggest the painting is actually portraying an engagement rather than anactual marriage. It contains a few eye catching features that backup this new disagreement.This paints little elements that are easy to miss at first glance. For example, in the backof the room is a small mirror that reflects Giovanni Arnolfini and his wife and Jan Van Eychhimself. Around the mirror there are 10 circular images that show scenes from Christ’s Passion.Because of these and

The presentation of the fourteen busts recalls displays of older traditional art, such as in a museum. Upon closer inspection, there is a clear subversion of such, where some of the figures are transformed and their surfaces tampered. We not only see unconventional surfaces but also make and material. The artist is making a comment on and questioning the status quo.

Located in hallway nestled between the Art of Europe and Art of Ancient Worlds wings at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is the Italian Renaissance Gallery (Gallery 206). Here, Donatello’s Madonna of the Clouds and Luca della Robbia’s Virgin and child with lilies face one another, competing for museum-goers’ attention from alternate sides of the narrow gallery. Both pieces indulge ingenious techniques, original at the time of conception, to create a completely new visual experience of a very traditional biblical scene, the Madonna with her child, Jesus Christ. This paper will employ close visual analysis of two 15th-century Renaissance reliefs from Florence depicting the Virgin Mary and Jesus Chris in order to show how these artists used innovative

Leonardo painted The Lady with the Ermie, when “he was living in Milan, which was c. 1482-83. This painting has raised some arguments

There are a lot of interpretations and hypotheses about the subject-matter of Primavera and The Birth of Venus. The most preferred hypothesis is that both of the paintings are the reflection of the idea of Ficino, the leader of Florentine Neoplatonism movement. In Primavera and The Birth of Venus, many images of ancient goddesses are depicted. Botticelli 's usage of the ancient goddess figures are known as the feature of Italian Renaissance classic revival of art. The goddess in the paintings are derived from classical poetic themes, and two paintings share some images of goddesses. This is because there is a ‘literary sources relevant to Botticelli’s Primavera and The Birth of Venus’. In this chapter, I explore the mythical goddesses in Botticelli’s two paintings, and explain the Neoplatonic ideas behind the surface of the paintings.

Art has been around for millennium, but it starts to become more realistic as the Renaissance progresses. In Document A, a painting by Duccio di Buoninsegna is shown. This religious painting was probably painted in respect to the Madonna, but it is unclear. In terms of art, it isn’t a very good piece of work even though it has religious meaning. Duccio di Buoninsegna probably did

Venus and Mars is a c. 1485 Italian Renaissance oil painting, created by Florentine artist Sandro Botticelli. This painting depicts the meaning of love, exhibiting themes of traditional romanticism. It is understood that Botticelli’s Venus and Mars implies the message, love conquers war or perhaps that love conquers all. Mars, the god of war, was one of Venus, the goddess of Love’s many illicit lovers. Pictured, are both mythological Roman gods, in a tale of attraction, bravery, and an adulterous affair. This classical antiquity will be examined in detail, through visual observations of the three key elements: composition, style, and iconography.

In the work Lucrezia Romana by Giovanni Pietro Rizzoli, otherwise known as Giampietrino, there stands a contorted woman with a dagger nearly piercing her own flesh as she waits to take her own life. The figure, Lucretia, is a character from the ancient Roman period who was said to have been raped by the son of the tyrannical ruler of Rome. The oil painting on wood was completed in 1540 in the city of Milan, in the midst of the High Renaissance period. While Giampietrino’s painting stands as a remarkable piece of artwork, it must be noted that a lot of the stylistic qualities he implements into the work are extremely similar to that of Leonardo Da Vinci’s. Given that Giampietrino was a student of Leonardo for over 30 years,

the symbolic meaning of thework—a meaning that stemmed from Giorgione’s own imagination, rather than traditional interpretations”.

Throughout the history of art human form, female nude is always a muse for artists. Sandro Botticelli depicted the goddess Venus in Birth of Venus and Titian created the standard for representations of the reclining female nude, Venus of Urbino in 1538. The both works have their own beauty, but there are always differences to allow each painting to stand on its own. There are special aspects on Rembrandt’s interpretation on Bathsheba Reading King David's Letter such as the nude’s gesture, emotions, composition and background will be discussed in this paper to analyze what did this painting reveal about the role of nude in the 17th century.

During the Rococo period, Jean- Honore Fragonard painted many important and beautiful paintings. Two very interesting pieces were “The Swing” and “The Stolen Kiss” both were painted by Jean-Honore Fragonard. Fragonard was a French painter during the Rococo period, he produces more than 550 paintings. “The Rococo movement was an art movement that emerged in France and spread throughout the world in the late 17th and early 18th century. The word is a derivative of the French term rocaille, which means “rock and shell garden ornamentation”” (Savanah Cox, 2011). “The Swing” and “The Stolen Kiss” are both playful, loving, and witty themed.

Florentine type of depiction spread widely due to the painting. Its popularity among the masses can be understood by the fact that the image has been used by most religious foundation in expression of Jesus and His mother Marry during the child’s tender age (Gelfand, 2000). It’s one of the most treasured paintings in the world. When compared to the Italian standards, the panel is said to be very minor, but its regard is extensively expressed with respect to many other paintings that are said to be, in the ancient times, the most regarded.

Artwork is a form of self-expression from an artist based on life experience, or on something that the artist feels strongly about (Berenson, 87). The product of art can help others with similar experiences but not able to express the same feeling themselves. From the product of art, people can start drawing excitement, purpose as well as encouragement about the real thing being expressed. Through a piece of art, the artist can communicate a purpose, an emotion or an idea in their work. In this research paper, I compare two pieces of artwork; Madonna and child with the saints by Giovanni Bellini and Madonna and child with the two angels done by Fra Filippo Lippi. Madonna and child are amongst the most popular yet controversial topics in the Christian art.
