Roman Art Analysis

...When examining Roman art, we see how idealized individuals were anatomically depicted. In the past, we have seen depictions that are not age accurate, but now we see a shift in the way people are shown due to their position in society. In the early 1st century people were determined to climb a career ladder, which determined their power in society. This explains the importance that old facial and anatomical representations have on the ability to categorize the power of the individual. For that reason, the realistic resemblance of the person’s age in their portrait is very critical in order to not only symbolize the work they had fulfilled, but accomplished. The portrait of this man is a revision in societal demonstrations, where important...

Baroque Period

...doing portraits for such people like the Genoese aristocracy, and helped to usher in the immortal type of noblemen, with the portraits of the men as proud and slender in frame. One of his well known portraits is his “Portrait of a Young General.” This portrait was created between the years of 1622 and 1627. The Portrait is of a young white male with brownish black armor. He is standing in a regal pose looking away from the artist. The technique that was used for the portrait was oil on canvas. Van Dyck influenced English portrait painting for 150 years after his time, and he was also one of the most important innovators of water color and etching. One of the most well known artists of the Baroque period has to have been Rembrandt Van Rijn. Just like Van Dyck he favored realism which some of his critics would go on to say that he preferred ugliness over beauty. Rembrandt was known to create portraits as well with one of them being a “Portrait of an Old Jewish Man.” The painting shows an old Jewish man who might have been a Rabbi, sitting forward in a chair, the portrait has a dark background, and the robes of the man are colored in a contrasting brown color, he has a whit beard and his skin looks to be a little pale. The technique that was used was oil on canvas, and it was created in 1654. The last artist that I am writing about is Jan Vermeer. Jan Vermeer was known to be a contrast to artist like Rembrandt who used the minimum amount of light in his portraits, where...

From the Middle Age Through Renaissance Period

...Greek Art culture since it had focused over the humanism and reformation (Woods, 2007).

Material: oil on paint Size: 51×40cm Form It has two dimensions which have used different materials the most prominent ones are the oil on panel. The oil and lime painting process has been utilized in order to make this distinguishing piece of art (Examples of Renaissance works of art by artists born after 1469, 2010). There is a striking combination of black, brown, font, pink and red. Overall painting is made with the help of thin lines, for instance, the reflection of 70 years old man is clearly visible through the thin lines of his hairs and wrinkles on the face. The straight rectangular shape of the portrait has given it a more realistic and admirable look. Durer has used engraving texture techniques so as to give the portrait a more pragmatic appearance. Thin lines of Durer’s father are astonishingly balanced with the background through color mixing. Portrait of Durer’s Father is a highly valued piece of art from renaissance which is now placed at the National Gallery, London (Portrait of Dürer's Father at 70, 2013) . Subject Matter In the picture Durer has shown his father’s wisdom and dignity which he has maintain throughout his life even at the age of 70 years. The...

Hum 111 Journal

...Journal: Self-Portrait 1 The primary Reason for Painting a Self-Portrait Assessing Internal Characteristics One of our main struggles in life is to gain self-understanding. We continuously explore our desires, goals, fears, plans, needs…etc. The ability to effectively assess our internal characteristics is one of the main obstacles we face when thinking about a self-portrait. Due to this reason, I decided that I need to evaluate my traits, and try and think about who I am, before presenting myself to others. I believe that a self-portrait reveals a very intimate side of an artist. Many of us possess countless traits that shape our character; unfortunately, we are often unable to convey all these characteristics in one painting. Therefore, I have decided to include those traits that I believe define me the most. I will explore these characteristics in greater detail in Section 1.1.2- Artistic Choices in Composition. Assessing External Perception The way we view ourselves may not correlate with the way others perceive us. Despite my internal self-exploration, and my desire to depict my many traits, those traits I wish to depict in my self-portrait might define me during my life and long after my death. It is, therefore, quite important that I consider my audience when choosing which traits to reveal. My perhaps most intimate traits can remain hidden in my other paintings and in my symbolism. It is the conflict between internal and external depiction that will give my self-portrait...

Chapter Summaries of Dorian Gray

...artist creates beautiful things. Art aims to reveal art and conceal the artist. The critic translates impressions from the art into another medium. Criticism is a form of autobiography. People who look at something beautiful and find an ugly meaning are "corrupt without being charming." Cultivated people look at beautiful things and find beautiful meanings. The elect are those who see only beauty in beautiful things. Books can’t be moral or immoral; they are only well or badly written. People of the nineteenth century who dislike realism are like Caliban who is enraged at seeing his own face in the mirror. People of the nineteenth century who dislike romanticism are like Caliban enraged at not seeing himself in the mirror. The subject matter of art is the moral life of people, but moral art is art that is well formed. Artists don’t try to prove anything. Artists don’t have ethical sympathies, which in an artist "is an unpardonable mannerism of style." The subject matter of art can include things that are morbid, because "the artist can express everything." The artist’s instruments are thought and language. Vice and virtue are the materials of art. In terms of form, music is the epitome of all the arts. In terms of feeling, acting is the epitome of the arts. Art is both surface and symbol. People who try to go beneath the surface and those who try to read the symbols "do so at their own peril." Art imitates not life, but the spectator. When there is a diversity of opinion about...

In addition, he serves as an active lecturer, panelist and moderator at universities, the United Nations and private companies. In 2011, he released his first book ”India Calling: An Intimate Portrait of a Nation's Remaking.” Reversing his parents' immigrant path, a young American-born writer returns to India and discovers an old country making itself new. Anand Giridharadas sensed something was afoot as his plane from America prepared to land in Bombay. An elderly passenger looked at him and said, "We're all trying to go that way," pointing to the rear. "You, you're going this way?" Giridharadas was returning to the land of his ancestors, amid an unlikely economic boom. But he was interested less in its gold rush than in its cultural upheaval, as a new generation has sought to reconcile old traditions and customs with new ambitions and dreams. In “India Calling: An Intimate Portrait of a Nation’s Remaking,” Giridharadas brings to life the people and the dilemmas of India today, through the prism of his émigré family history and his childhood memories of India.

Da Vinci

...Leonardo Da Vinci was born on April 14, 1452 in the town of Vinci near Florence Italy. He kept the name of his town for his last name. He lived during the fifteenth century, a period when the people of Europe were becoming interested in art. This period of time was known as the Renaissance period. Leonardo Da Vinci was very talented. He was a great artist, but he became famous because he was able to do so many other things. He was an architect, a musician, inventor, sculptor, scientist, and mathematician. His artistic talent revealed its self early in his life. When he was about 15 years old Leonardo's father took him to Florence Italy, to train as a painter and sculptor in the studio of Andrea del Verroccho. He studied with this master until the age of twenty five. At this point, he set up his own business and was famous for being a painter and a man of science. As a scientist, he observed everything he could in nature. Leonardo used what he learned from nature and science to make his paintings look real. He drew and took many notes of what he observed. His notes were written backwards, probably because he didn't want people to read about his discoveries and observations. In order to read Leonardo's notes, one has to hold them up to a mirror. In 1472 he entered a painters' guild. His earliest extensive works date back to this time. In 1482 Da Vinci worked for Duke Lodovico Sforza in Milan for 18 years.

The footage ends around the age of 6 or 7 as the life of the woman who captured the 72 plus hours of footage began to deal with her own battles and our life became a little less charming to record.

...The Human Figure in Art Student Name University The human figure in art, sculpture and other art forms involves the study and appreciation of the beauty of the human body (Human figure (aesthetics) , 2013). It can involve the body shape, including different postures, such as sitting, standing, sleeping, or even while in motion, walking or running. I think that the human figure is one of the most interesting and beautiful to look at, and it absolutely amazing to look at how much the human figure in art has changed over time. Different cultures believed that the human body was beautiful in different ways. Some show humans in the art as perfect and almost God like, while others show them in a more realistic form. Another amazing part about the human figure is not only are we observing the way a body looks, but also we are feeling the emotions that these characters are portraying. This is what makes human figure so fascinating. In the following essay I will be selecting fifteen examples of the human body in art.
