    Lot's Daughters

    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. I think it was very unique how the author organized everything and made it sort of like an allegory to the Garden of Eden. Also the characters alone‚ were very good examples on how it was alike. Although it is portrayed
