    Merrymakers at Shrovetide vs Interrupted Sleep

    Since the first brush stroke was taken in Europe, the paintings that have been produced have played a vital role in revealing our world 's past, history, religion and daily lives of its citizens. Each time period and movement have influenced artists from its first existence to even this very day, creating an extraordinary timeline of art and history as one. Frans Hals ' Merrymakers at Shrovetide of 1615 and Francois Boucher 's Interrupted Sleep of 1750 are no exception. Despite their different time periods and movements, the two paintings each have many parallels and at the same time very distinct styles which play on how influential artists ' styles are upon each other. Even with all of the differences and similarities, both paintings are truly exemplary in exposing their time periods.…

    Boston Tea Party Analysis

    Historical narratives are protean; as these stories are told and re-told throughout the ages, they morph with each passing from one mouth to another. "Historical narratives are ... also metaphorical statements which suggest a relation of similitude between such events and processes and the story types that we conventionally use to endow the events of our lives with culturally sanctioned meanings." The myth we know as the Boston Tea Party was not always the coherent narrative we recognize today. With each passing generation, different groups have appropriated the public memory of the Destruction of the Tea in Boston Harbor to forward their own agendas. Specifically, women’s suffragists throughout…

    Boston Marathon Bombing Analysis

    It was just another Patriots’ Day in Boston on April, 15th, 2013. It would be the 117th annual Boston Marathon, with spectators from all over the world. For Sydney Corcoran and her parents, they were there supporting their aunt run in the race (Brian 6). At 2:49 that afternoon, it would never be the same for Sydney. With over 5,600 runners still trying to complete the twenty-six mile run, a pressure-cooker bomb exploded near the finish line on Boylston Street. Next, another bomb exploded within seconds of the first, only a couple hundred feet down the street (“Boston” History). For Sydney, it was the beginning of a nightmare. She had lost her parents, and was down on the ground with a piece of metal the size of a cell phone stuck in her foot (Brian 5). There was no turning back now for most bystanders near the finish line, and the Boston Marathon would never be the same. The suffering and sadness of this tragedy left the city with three deaths, hundreds without limbs, several hospitalized, and billions of Americans worried about…

    Boston Massacre Analysis

    Throughout history, a multitude of nations have intended to resolve their differences and conflicts with their ruling bodies, but ultimately resorted to a revolution in order to make the changes they sought to become a reality. A prime example of this was the American Revolution during the late eighteenth century. In the 1760’s and leading into the 1770’s, many colonists agreed that the British were neglecting the complaints of the colonies and generally failing to satisfy the needs of the colonists. As a result, peace was attempted and many compromises and appeals were submitted to Britain, but to no avail. Ultimately, the colonists resorted to separating from Britain and declaring America an independent nation. Therefore, there was a shift…

    Sunday On La Grande Jatte Essay

    Georges Seurat’s painting of “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte -1884'” depicts tranquilize people located on the island of La Grande Jatte. Looking closer into the background there are soldiers and regular looking people in the back with one typical guy with higher class people in the foreground. It like a unanimity between social class to enjoy a sunny day on a island. Looking closely into the painting there are tiny strokes of lines creating leaves on the ground and on the tree, but also everywhere creating texture. The overlapping creates space and every person are very different from each other creating variety.…

    Art Renaissance

    - Impressionists are concerned with capturing a sense of immediacy in their artwork. Their works are assymetrically balanced. The subject matter is often casual and more everyday life pictures and scenes. William Chadwick shows the play of light and shade on the Griswold side porch "On the Piazza". The impressionists unlike other types of artists do not mix their paint colors. They generally use the pure colors to capture their work. Their use of color is also seen in how they depict shadows. Unlike previous artists who used neutral or darker shades like black to paint a shadow, Impressionists used color to show shadows.…
