The passage states there are many problems in Rembrandt paints about the woman's portrait that this issue creates doubt that it is not an original painting of Rembrandt. However the professors explains a group of expert's examination solve this problem and prove that it is professional painting of Rembrandt and refutes each of the author’s reasons.

First, the reading claims that the woman wear a cap like a servant's cap while her dress assert she is a rich woman because she has a luxury dress and it is not acceptable in the details of Rembrandt's work. The professor opposes this point by saying that the pigment analysis clearly show that this kind of depiction was a part of paint details and Rembrandt did it cautiously.

    As I gaze at Monet’s Olympia, all that comes to mind is the vulgarity. I am appalled at the painter’s intentions, for what could possess a man to paint such indecency? The painting illustrates a women lying in bed as her Negro servant brings her flowers. Her skin is sickly pale, she is fairly thin and her body appears underdeveloped equal to that of a girl not of a woman. The detail in this work suggest Olympia to be a demimondaine. Even the name Olympia is an association of prostitution, is it not? These details include the silk shawl in which she lies, her bracelet, the orchard in her hair, her pearl earrings, representations of sexuality and fortune. The contrast between the paleness of her flesh and the dark ribbon around her neck call attention to the overall sensual mood of Manet’s piece. Her stare is challenging as if she is asserting her dominance over men.…

    “The painting should be an original, not a reproduction” (Winterson 8). The reproduction of art diminishes the originality and authenticity of the piece. Not only does this diminish originality but bypasses giving the appropriate credit to the founder. In the novel Art Objects: Essays on Ecstasy and Effrontery Winterson asserts that an artist needs to be familiar with past art, this is important in ensuring that contemporary artists do not plagiarize past work.…

    While the theories on the artist intent are of plenty, there is no mistaking that this piece provokes deeper contemplation on the depiction of beauty and the power of “ugly” imagery in this painting. One can argue that over vast time periods and amongst culture the defined interpretation of beauty has seen many profound depictions and interpretations displayed in infinite works of “beautiful” art. We must ask ourselves, can only works of “beauty” be aesthetically pleasing to the eye or can we find it in a variety of work through…

    The article’s first main issue discussed in the article is about The Getty Kouros, a life-size marble statue go a male figure standing nude, and whether or not the piece is fake, or even stolen art. The article then gives you good information on what exactly “faking it” is in the art industry, and how forgers would go about doing it. This really helps give you insight on the world of art, and whether or not it is real, because it helps you understand that forgery is a thing that does happen quite often, and there are many forgers who can pull it off. The author makes you question whether or not fakes should be accepted into the art world as pieces of their own.…

    In the foreground of the painting is Joan of Arc. She is painted with a seemingly thicker paint technique. This makes her a more easily visible aspect in the painting, and catches the onlookers eye. Joan is dressed in a long brown skirt and blue-gray shirt with white underneath which is the typical clothing style of the 19th century. The clothing is painted to show its wear and tear. Her features and her figure are quite realistic. She seems to have a calm, but troubled expression on her face, as though she is deep in thought. Overall she is painted in a very…

    First looking into one of Missals figure paintings, he paints a nude woman kneeling on the floors, shifting her body weight to her right, wearing a red and purple cloak wrapped onto her back, over her left shoulder and arm (Plate 5). This painting is an example of the art style realism since the piece is painted in nonlocal color, but more specifically arbitrary colored representation of the nude woman. Arbitrary color involves selected colors used without reference to those found in reality. In this case Missal’s choice of color is used to be expressive and not as the portrayal of the real thing, a person. It is interesting how the color palette contrasts with that of the Straub and the natural color of skin with the use of local color. Since the woman is expressed with florescent yellow skin with exaggerated highlights that make her appear white the piece would be arbitrary, but still entails specific attention to details which shows the realistic aspect. Meanwhile, the portrait of Straub still has the same level of detail while depicting him as an realistic human with local…

    The book opens with a very interesting case study: an unusual piece of art (korus) has been discovered and brought to a museum for selling. There, the museum’s group of art experts, after having studied and analyzed thoroughly the statue, elicits it is an original. The curator, having doubts, brings a second group of experts to express their opinion about the korus. Members of the second group take one look --- blink --- and declare it a fake. Eventually, facts prove that the statue is not legitimate. How did the second team of experts know that was true? Why was the first group so wrong? Are we always right when we make snap judgments? How can we think without thinking? Why sometimes we find it impossible to explain our best decisions to others?…

    At the beginning of the story, as M.Lantin falls in love with the woman, the author seems to describe the woman thoroughly as being one of rare find. The author states that, “Everyone sang her praises”(Maupassant 69). The story makes a big deal that “the young girl seemed to be the very ideal of that pure good woman to whom every young man dreams of entrusting his future” (Maupassant 69). She was clearly a woman with unique beauty, even described as modest with shy charm. Many, especially M. Lantin, knew her as this type of woman; so they thought. The author did a good job in building up the woman as very desirable, loving, and seemingly perfect. In addition to her high status of virtue, Maupassant describes her as having a strong interest and passion for the theater, as well as an obvious obsession for fine jewelry. Through out much of the story, her husband is confident that the jewels are not real. Conveniently with-in their marriage, she was also extremely skillful in managing their budget closely, which likely built up a perceived trust and security in the relationship between Monsieur and Madame Lantin.…

The triptych is representing the 3 stages of womanhood as a loving mother, wife, and daughter to show that no matter what time or age her job will be to take care of others.…
