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

When I read the short story‚ Rappaccini’s daughter‚ I noticed a lot of interesting things. One of the main things I noticed was the garden. I think Rappacini’s garden is a substitute for the Garden of Eden. That was very obvious to me because there were a lot of examples to back me up.

Although it is portrayed
