Europa

While most of Titian's nudes in his Poesie series serve as idealized, eroticized figures, “The Rape of Europa” serves as a divergent example. Europa is not an idealized, simple, composition and instead complicates the Poesie narrative with her naturalism. I intend to look into the contradictory analysis of this painting and use my own visual analysis of the painting in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum to come to my conclusion. Some of the contradictory elements I have found in this painting…

classroom was thought to be the standard documentary. It was not until the film continued to play when the history I thought I knew so much about became more complicated. The film was titled, “The Rape of Europa”, and (which) that was the appropriate title knowing the events that occurred. “The Rape of Europa” what quite lengthy and contained a lot of detailed information; for this reason, there was more than one person who had directed the film. Bonni Cohen, Richard Berge, and Nicole Newnham,…

The Effects of Art The documentary "The Rape of Europa" is about the war on European art that took place during World War II. During this war countless pieces of art were either destroyed or stolen by the Nazis. Adolph Hitler--and other Nazi leaders--destroyed "condemned" art or systematically stole pieces that were desired for personal collections. When watching this documentary one can clearly see the effect that art--or lack of art--can have on people. "Condemned" art were modern pieces…

Choosing a movie to watch was difficult, many of the films on the list sounded intriguing, but I finally settled on The Rape of Europa. I never knew art was such an important part of the Second World War, and I was interested in learning the role art played in World War II. The Rape of Europa explores the systematic purging of art different art that was deemed unworthy or degenerate by the Hitler and the German officials, and also the looting of art the Germans deemed worthy from the countries…

The technique he used constant layering to the pigments to make the color solid and bright. The story behind the painting is Europa being dragged to the sea by Zeus disguised as a white bull. Unlike The Sacrifice of Abraham, the oil on canvas painting appears to have softer textures and background. Yet, still maintain colors to provide illusion to movements. Using complementary…

The Abduction of Europa by Noël-Nicolas Coypel was done in France, 1727. This piece is telling a story that emphasizes the importance of romance in Greek mythology. The Abduction of Europa is to depicting a scene of a female that is riding a white bull through the water. The overall scene is chaotic but the girl on the bull seems to be more calm and in thought and the bull looks extremely content. There is a man behind the girl on the bull that is holding an orange piece of cloth that is…

may be narrowed to one. The Jupiter moon Europa may be next on the mission list for NASA astronauts. Leaving Mars out in the cold. Recent research from NASA scientists could have found the life sustaining evidence they need on Europa. Or at least under its icy surface. The study is encouraging, now that scientists believe that the Jupiter moon ocean has enough energy to support life. If so, will NASA astronauts find aliens on the Jupiter moon? NASA Europa Study The research led by Steve Vance…

The Fiftieth Gate and Europa Europa There cannot be an absolute truth in the understanding of the event of the Holocaust as both history and memory are merely partial representations of the event. In the bricolage, Fiftieth Gate by Mark Baker and the film Europa Europa (1990) directed by Agnieszka Holland based on the autobiography of Solomon Perel, the representation of history and memory seeks not to find an absolute truth but to provide a deeper understanding of the past through the…

The first moon, Io, is the closest to Jupiter of the Jovian moons, however, it is Jupiter’s fifth closest moon orbiting at roughly 262,000mi. Though it is slightly larger than our own moon, for Jupiter is it only the third largest. Ganymede, Io, and Europa are in orbital resonance with Jupiter, and this causes their orbits to become elliptical. Io’s orbit takes it through Jupiter’s magnetic lines of force causing it to generate electrical currents. These currents travel along Jupiter’s magnetic…

Gardner Museum where the painting resides. This text provides the most vital pieces of information; that the painting shows Zeus in the form of a bull who has seduced Europa with his beauty and kindness, only to run off with her against her will. This source is further connected to Titian because, in one translation, the beauty of Europa is described as so great, even Titian could not recreate it. This painting though, includes some imagery expected of this story and for a mythological…
