Nanette Salomon‚ a very well known feminist writer‚ wrote the article‚ “Judging Artemisia: A Baroque Woman in Modern Art History.” The article opens up with a discussion about the 2001-2 exhibition of Orazio and Artemisia Gentileschi: Father and Daughter Painters in Baroque Italy. The author explains that three things are unusual here: the fact that two famous artists were presented at the same time‚ that they were related as father and daughter‚ and the fact that the woman was better known than

The artwork I selected is Lot & Daughters by Orazio Gentileschi. The piece is on display at the Getty Museum and was painted in 1622. This piece is a dynamic‚ wonderful example of the baroque style. Gentileschi’s strong use of chiaroscuro makes the painting seem to be a living scene being viewed from the other side of a window. His use of the three primary colors for the three subjects clearly defines each of them; while still creating color harmony. The subject matter is the story of the city

What I saw was a beautiful lady who was wearing this amazing golden dress that had one of a kind detail. What i found incredible was that in the painting there was so much of the color gold.

The Metamorphosis is the story of a commercial traveler‚ Gregor Samsa‚ that one morning awoke turned into a gigantic insect. It is no dream but‚ simply and plainly‚ a real metamorphosis with no rhetoric in between. Facing this incredible fact‚ Kafka does not do any realistic concessions and keeps the new condition of the character to the end. That makes of The metamorphosis a hard work of fiction‚ in the way of Odyssey (with which‚ besides‚ it is closely related) or in the way of

Through the use of light‚ artists continue to receive a strong emotional response from the audience. This is an essential element of an audience’s perception of a work – it may determine whether the artwork is perceived as happy or depressing‚ or even provides the difference between whether the work is friendly and welcoming‚ or shocking and confronting. Artists have used light for a long time to stimulate the emotions of the viewer. Two artists that have used this technique are Bill Henson and Michelangelo

It is interesting to note that at the time this was painted‚ Artemisia Gentileschi was just seventeen years old‚ and was enduring sexual harassment from the artist she was apprenticed to‚ a man named Agostino Tassi‚ who later raped her. These incidents gave Gentileschi incredible insight into her subject’s experience and thus she was able to create an interpretation that was uniquely perceptive and candid. Artemisia Gentileschi‚ however‚ was a woman‚ and the talent and creativity she possessed was

In the mid-1300s‚ the bubonic plague entered Sicily through docked ships carrying infected rats. Millions of Europeans died within hours of infection as a result of the outbreak. Most people at the time knew nothing of this illness and were heavily involved in religion‚ superstition and rituals.

Generous Generosity Generous is an adjective frequently adopted by poets; generosity is a virtue greatly valued by nobilities; generous generosity is a depiction historically inherited by generations. I am always wondering that how does ‘generosity’ develop its personal charisma to attract so much attention? Is it possible to decode its mystery by tracing the origin of ‘generous’? Browsing through books‚ I discovered that some clues keep emerging. From a historic perspective‚ tracing word’s development
