Circe Offering The Cup To Ulysses Analysis
My profile image is a detail of the painting John William Waterhouse (1891) “Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses”. This painting shows the witch Circe, in reference at the greek mythology and the book of Homer “The Odyssey”. I like very much the paintings of this artist, as a lot of Pre-Raphaelite painters. I choose Circe as first name in reference at this figure of the greek mythologie because she is a servant of Hecate, like I want to

    Analysis Of Paul Cezanne's The Basket Of The Apples

    The moment I saw Vincent Van Gogh’s painting, Irises, I knew this was the perfect piece to learn more about its distinguishable design. By looking at his artwork the first thing that came to my mind was Paul Cezanne’s The Basket of the Apples. Cezanne’s painting simply depicts a veneer-made container holding apples on a table with other items, while Van Gogh’s work displays an outdoor image of blue flowers called irises. Even though the artworks do not present the same material, both the fruits and blossoms were completely removed from its natural configurations. These masterpieces, led me to the notion that there lies a connection between them, but after doing research I found a number of differences that splits Van Gogh’s and Cezanne’s artistic…

    Gerrit Van Honthorst: Art Analysis

    The piece of Art, Smiling Girl, a Courtesan Holding an Obscene Image, painted by Gerrit van Honthorst in 1625 can be seen at the Saint Louis Art Museum. I was initially drawn to this image from across the gallery mostly due to the subject’s bright red dress with gold sleeves, it was one of the brightest colored images in the gallery. It is about three feet tall and two feet wide, it is an oil on canvas painting. As I approached the image, I was still intrigued as the image she is holding is of a naked man facing away, the subject in the painting seems to get enjoyment from this. To me this piece of art makes me curious, I want to know who this woman was and why she is holding that image. The artist seems to be communicating the importance of…

    Connecting to the Hero: an Overall Analysis of an Attic Black-Figure Hydria Depicting Herakles’ Exploits

    My vase is made in approximately 520-510 BC, a crucial transitional period in Greek art when black-figure technique reaches its pinnacle and begins to be replaced by the red-figure technique. The overall high quality of black-figure painting of the period is visible in my vase through the vividly depicted figures and details such as the folds in clothes and the additional use of white and red colors for female skin and decorations. Specifically, my vase exemplifies the styles of the Antimenes Painter and that of the Leogros group, both are active in the last two decades of the sixth century. The Antimenes painter is the most prolific Attic artist who specializes in painting hydriae and neck amphorae at his time. His vases are identified by stylistic traits such as the primary picture on the front of the body, a subordinate one on the shoulder, the linear pattern at the bottom of the neck, the ivy pattern framing the body and the ray pattern at the predella. The artist has a special fondness for chariot processions and Herakles as subjects. One of his other hydriae closely resembles my object in terms of subject matter and…

    The Hydria Ease Art Analysis

    The artwork I chose for the Greeks is called the Hydria. This vase contains the artwork of Hercules and Athena. The vase art relates with Athena coming from Mount Olympus to bring Hercules to live among the other gods. In the myth it is hard to show who is who, because the Greeks see their gods as walking among humans. In the vase we can tell Athena by her armor, because she is the warrior goddess. We can see Hercules by the messenger god Hermes. We see the chariot and helpers, helping harness the horses for Athena and Hercules to ride to Mount Hercules. The vase reflects the story of how the Greeks view the gods and the heroes.…

    Denver Art Museum: One of the Few Luxuries of Colorado Residents

    I found three particular compositions to be representative of their era or genre. The first of which is an oil painting on a wood panel by an Englishman named William Larkin to be completed in 1610. This piece, entitled Mary Radclyffe, is a portrait of King James’s wife, Mary Radclyffe. It is very obvious to see, after reviewing the Roman artistic style of idealizing an individual in a realistic way, that this is a idealized view of Radclyffe. As a matter of fact, William Larkin was one of the last artists to work in this refined, elegant portrait style of Elizabeth I. The clothing Radclyffe is donning in the aforementioned painting is typical of the high class during the time it was completed in the early 17th century. This piece can also be classified as having a Baroque nature about it. The Baroque cultural movement pertained to not only art, but music, dance, and literature as well. The artistic style emits a sense of awe and a tremendous attention to detail which is seldom mistaken for any other method. This Idealized style derives from Plato and the “higher reality of eternal truths” which he refers to in his book, the Theory of Forms.…

    The Giver Julius Caesar Analysis

    Throughout the essay How to Mark a Book the author, Mortimer J. Adler, brings up the idea and topic of what makes a book worthy of being ‘marked up’ and what he considers to be a light read. He uses examples such as Paradise Lost and Gone with the Wind; The latter being deemed not as worthy. The reason being because it simply does not make you think quite as hard as say, something such as the Bible would. It does not require as much thought and conversation with the author. With that being said, what determines if a book is light? If an easy read of fiction could simply fall into this category, perhaps a book such as The Giver would not require as much thought in comparison to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, therefore not worthy of being marked up. The purpose of this essay will be to determine whether or not…

    Penelope And The Suitors Analysis

    For a long time historical pieces have been used through paintings and poems such as Penelope of the Odyssey, The tale of Penelope is about a brief time when she is longing for her husband to come back one day. When Odysseus was gone for the Trojan War for a long time, she had hope that her husband will come back one day. Penelope represented hope as one of the most hopeful women in form of themes that comes from many epic works on her. In the painting Penelope and the Suitors, John Williams Waterhouse uses the Suitors of Penelope to show that when people are gone for a long time their loved ones still have hope they will come home and the loved ones will be there waiting for them, while in her poem “Penelope,” Dorothy Parker uses the same scene to show that people long for their…

    Act I, scene two of the play ‘The Tragedy of Julius Caesar’, written by William Shakespeare will be changed from ancient Rome, to 1953 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas in the 1950’s had a lot of major events such as Frank Sinatra’s first performance at the Desert Inn and the Las Vegas Park opened but then closed due to 12 fatal accidents.
