Shepherdesss With Her Dog Jacque Analysis

The sounds of sheep baaing, the heavy breathing of a dog, the wind howling, and the nice smell of the evergreen forest and the quietness of the outdoors all combine to form the imagery of a unique, quiet painting. In the painting Shepherdess with Her Dog by Charles Emile Jacque, this rich description is exactly the imagery of shepherdess depicted in her environment. I have recently visiting The Tweed Museum in the University of Minnesota Duluth where I found this painting. The Shepherdess with Her Dog caught my eye because of how different it looks compared to today’s sheep farming and the lost culture of a lone shepherdess. The painting Shepherdess with Her Dog was made somewhere between 1813-1894 in Charles Jacque’s life. The painting’s

    Charles Russell and Frederic Remington were artists well-known for their depiction of the Old West. Using posters, oil on canvas, and bronze as mediums, they provide an extensive journey from 1888 to 1909 revealing the atmosphere in association with the West. The expansion West provided an opportunity for the United States to not only grow as a nation, but to explore new territories for resources, land, and settlement. In relation, the closing of the frontier in 1890 signified the result of development, which brought Indians and Americans closer together. Sharing the land would prove difficult and create tensions as seen in some of the illustrations, despite the last Indian wars ending about a decade prior.…

    Charles Emile-August Carolus-Duran’s piece titled Portrait of an Artist in her Studio represents the action of a women painting. This piece was made in the late 19th century (c. 1880) and was considered one of Carolus-Duran’s great society portraits. The piece’s present location is the La Salle University Art Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and its original location was *****. This portrait is oil on canvas, and the “quick, loose brushwork” technique can be accredited to masters such as Diego Velasquez and Edouard Manet (placard.) Just as the painting suggests, the painting’s subject is an artist, many say Carolus-Duran’s wife or mistress, in her studio.…

    “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle” is not alone, of course, in its reanimation of “Hamlet” (see Matt Haig’s recent novel “The Dead Fathers Club,” for example), but it is surely the first to populate it with so many hounds. Set chiefly in the early 1970s, near the Chequamegon National Forest in Wisconsin, the novel tells the story of the Sawtelle family, which over the generations has strived to establish, through an experimental amalgam of breeding, training and mysticism, the ne plus ultra of the companion dog. The goal is to produce free-willed, “choice making” creatures, ones that, having “learned that a certain expression on a person’s face meant that something interesting lay behind them, or in another room,” will pursue the action best for…

A nineteenth century painting by Albert Bierstadt named the Oregon Trail (1869) depicted the west as a serene wilderness providing hope and the promise of a fulfilling life.

    In Native American culture, folktales are passed down from generation to generation and used as a means of conveying messages and lessons about life. Many times in folktales, there are supernatural spirits that become embodied in human or semi-human characters and their stories are then often left up to the interpretation of those reading or hearing the tale. Much like folktales, ambiguity within “Deer Dancer” by Joy Harjo is leaves the story up to the interpretation of the reader. One way to examine “Deer Dancer” is that the story is an adaptation of a Native American folktale is a modern setting Harjo’s take on a folktale represents the way that strippers, like the Deer Dancer herself, are viewed within society.…
