her nervousness. While Germanicus himself is dressed in a white linen a sense of restfulness and purity. The background is that of a creams and tans as if the blend so your vision is brought around to the people within the painting. Light play an intricate part with the body of the fallen Germanicus. The light reflects on his while linen on his body as well as the pillow placed underneath of him. The light is also reflecting off the helmets of some of the soldiers as well as the left shoulder of Germanicus’s wife and his nude child next to his mother. Poussin gave the solider in the middle of the painting implied motion, by having his hand appear as if it is raising into the air. There is implied depth to the room itself on the back-left hand side as if the corridor to the bedroom…

Chapter 15 Assignment- Ryan Cho #7 15.5 Poussin, Rembrandt, and Neoclassicism 1. Poussin. Nicolas Poussin (Born June 1594, died November 1665), was a leading painter who utilized French Baroque style, even though he lived in Rome, where Baroque style was not very popular among its citizens.

Poussin’s work can also be characterized…

Joan Scott’s book Politics of the Veil assesses the implications of the French government’s ban on clothing and religious signs, in particular, the wearing of veils in public schools. In the book she discloses the French government's argument for banning the headscarf which she contends with her own assertion by exploring factors such as racism, postcolonial guilt and fear among many other things. In my study, I am particularly interested in exploring the contradictory nature of the ban as it…

Step in the Arena I suppose it was only a matter of time until we were presented with Luke’s origin story, but I appreciate the show’s forethought into giving it such a well-timed placement within the overall narrative. By waiting until now, Luke Cage avoided feeling too similar to many other superhero stories that can’t resist showing us a character’s history right away. Had it waited any longer, it could have run the risk of putting too much distance between the audience and the action…

Nicolas Poussin "My temperament compels me to look for and take pleasure in well-ordered things. I avoid confusion, which is contrary and opposed to my nature, just as light is opposed to the darkness of night,", Poussin articulates the primacy of “classicist” ideals through his paintings, such as linearity and order. A leading painter of his time, Poussin was one of mostly incorporated Greek or Roman approaches to the subjects in his painting. In St. John Baptizing the People (1630-1639)…

The diversity of baroque is brought out by several factors, political, religious, and social being the major ones. Religion is believed to be the source of this era as a result of the Catholic Church requiring new artistic work. The art used in the church was supposed to draw individuals back to church and reinstate their faith. The visual arts played a significant role in guiding the faithful. For it to be transparent to the illiterate, art had to be powerful, clear and persuasive.…
