In this case, poverty and hunger are in direct correlation (Berardi,…

Mycenaeans also contributed to the arts, creating somewhat a new style of art, having a “more schematic and less life-like representation. This style would become the dominant one throughout the Mediterranean” (www.ancient.eu/Mycenaean_civilization/). Frescos from this age often depicted battle scenes, warriors, and powerful animals.(ancient.eu) It seems as if the militarism of the…

I chose Titan’s Meeting of Bacchus and Ariadne because of the colorful aspect of it. Most of the art depicted in Gardner’s Art Through the Ages chapter on high renaissance is colorful and full of mannerism that it is hard to pick a favorite one. Titan’s bacchanalian scene however captured my attention with its vivid colors and rich details. There was a growth in the role and presentation of mythical imagery in Renaissance times. An understanding with Roman culture and the trappings of classical…

The deluge of literature, pictures and films featuring the Floating City does nothing to reduce the incredible wonder that is Venice. You would think that this everlasting obsession with it would render it completely overrated and indeed, many dismiss Venice as an atrociously expensive, suffocatingly crowded, tacky tourist trap, but that simply is not the case. Just beneath the overpriced façade lies a magical city, providing you know where to look. During our three days in Venice, we managed to…

Art history Precious akaya 10/11/2015 Early life For my research paper, I've chosen the early life and work of Renaissance artist Michelangelo di Buonarrotto. I choose him because he played such an enormous part in art history in the age of the Renaissance. The Renaissance, (the rebirth), was a time that artists expanded their horizon, studied and invented new ways of painting that brought significant change to the art world. Also, this time period connects the end of the Middle Ages to the…

Carraci’s genre paintings of the normal life style of people, were not always in his paintings but more so in his sketches, and sketch books that he would go out and draw in. The unique features of Carracci’s artwork, helped him craft his own art style when he started to journey into genre painting. Either it being his poses, sketches, or painting style, others that were under him took up his artwork and used it for later in commissions for different reasons. “Domenichino first assisted Annibale…
