Literary Analysis : ' Lovers ' At A Park '

One of the aspects I believe unifies this painting is, as I talked about above, the continuation of the blue of the woman’s clothing continuing up into her hair, which gives the piece a sense of wholeness and relativity. There is also balance in this piece, for while the woman’s head is offset, this is balanced out by the elongation of her shoulder and arm in the right side of the image. Variety is also achieved in this piece through the use of a variation of hues and a lot of tonal difference. Emphasis is placed upon the hair with the use of an unnatural hair colour, as well as the face where light colours are used to highlight and pull the attention. Space is not so much of an active principle in this piece, but is still present nonetheless. Beryl is placed in the middle of the painting, with her taking up roughly 50% of the space, and the rest taken up by background.

This painting is a portrait of an old woman who is sitting on a chair while facing to the left. She is wearing a yellow flower dress with a beige jacket while sitting in an empty room. Her beauty is illustrated by her curly, gray hair and also her wrinkled face, neck, and hands. These details is what makes her look real and pure. I like how detailed it is because it reminds me of my grandmothers.

Unlike Merrymakers at Shrovetide, Boucher 's Interrupted Sleep illustrates two tall and thin figures of elegance upon a quiet countryside scene. The painting is lighter in value with natural sunlight and contains a number of more colors making it a more upbeat and pleasant picture. The rich and lavish vegetation spreads through the background with a small and rounded architectural form. The brush stroke is smoother and gives the painting a more natural and quiet appeal as it is overall more intimately themed. Like in Hals ' painting, Boucher takes advantage of value and uses it with folds

In this painting, two visual elements stand out over all the rest. These elements are that of color and texture. Color in art is an element that has to be phenomenal in order to get recognition and true appreciation from the viewers. In this painting, the colors are rich, vivacious and standout as dark, but bold representations of the uniqueness of it all. The use of brown and yellow and green and grey and white all come together in a harmony of color and unity. As for the texture in the painting, it is that of brisk and roughness that is nature. The sharp edges of the bucks rack and the cold, rough edges of the dead tree show

The media used is oil on canvas. The size 97.8 cm x 131.5 cm ( 38 ½ in x 51 ¾ in.) In this painting, there are two dogs Misse, the white dog and Luttine, the black furred dog. Here we can see Oudry’s love for animals. He painted this for Louis XV. In this painting these two dogs are probably playing with each other in an outside environment and their names are under each dog. Oudry uses elements of art such as texture and shape. The dog's fur are depicted by soft lines used by Oudry. He also uses shape to show objects and represent what they are. For example, in this painting, we can see that the pillar behind these two dogs are made up of a cube and a cylinder on top to show that it is a pillar. Oudry also uses principles of art such as proportion and emphasis. Here, we can see that both dogs are about the same size to show than either of them are the weak or stronger one. He also uses emphasis on the dogs to show that this painting only focuses on the dogs and the background objects are not as emphasized because of their size or positioning in this

Immediately, my eyes are drawn to Adam and Eve, for they are the largest figures in the painting. All of the characters are stylized to the tune of what the artist wants, for his figures, including the animals, are shown as very muscular, not very naturalistic. This is similar to Michelangelo’s characters, he believed that the mans body is the pinnacle of god’s creation, using the male body as the body of all of his characters, men and women included. These figures are also similar to the Greeks, who were very focused on the human body.

Concerning color, there is a stark contrast between the figure on the painting and the background. More specifically, the figure of the woman is predominantly delineated in white color, especially pale, ashen white, as far her apparel and facial complexion are concerned, while there are also various hues of grey, with respect to her hair and accessory feather. These white and grey shades are vividly contrasted with the prevailing red and crimson hues of the background (viz. the drape, armchair, and table). Moreover, one can detect colors of dark green (jewelry), some beige on the left (pillar), and darker or lighter shades of blue on the right side of the canvas (sky), which all in concert and in addition to the subtle purple hue forming the sun or moon exude a certain dramatic sentiment. Also, there is brown, which often easily segues into gold (viz. books and attire details respectively). The main contrast of colors between white and red would be interpreted as serving the purpose of rendering the figure of the woman, and especially her face, the focal point of the work, despite, paradoxically enough, the lush red shades at the background. Bearing that in mind, the significance of the woman’s face will be enlarged upon later, when discussing aspects of her identity.

It is a famous example of Renaissance art showing portraiture, realism, and some perspective. In this painting there are four distinct characters. Each has a different expression that shows how they are feeling. There is also more detail in the faces then in any other parts of the painting. Another technique it demonstrates is heightened realism. Whereas before the Renaissance the figures may have been painted simply and in only enough detail to get the general idea across, these figures are shown more realistically. Lastly there is the technique of perspective as shown in the background of the painting. The sea stretches out into the sky and the land in the background is shown how it would look if the viewer was actually

The portrait is displayed horizontally with a gold trimmed frame. The subject is a female that looks to be in her early 20’s sitting upright on a large brown chair. If the viewer travels up the painting the first indication of the woman’s class is her satin, blue dress. The saturated blue shines and falls in the light like water. Paired with the dress are her exceptionally detailed endings to her sleeves. The lace is even painted as though it is translucent, allowing a little of the blue dress to show through the sleeve. Flowers throughout history have symbolized innocence of a woman and her virginity. The repeating theme of flowers, in the sleeve cuffs and ribbon) in the woman’s attired suggests her purity or innocent nature. Another very details section of the painting includes the corset/torso details. The sewing suggests texture in the torso with small beading in between. Towards the top of the chest in the center, the female seems to bear an extravagant, ribbon piece with a tear drop bead in the center. The light pink

The shapes of the figures are sharply defined and the objects such as the table, book, and string instruments. There are diagonal rhythms throughout the painting in which it creates movement. The light source in the upper left allows the source light to have a more natural appearance throughout the painting. The shadows at the right-hand corner and the men wearing green in the middle contrast the main object with the most sources of lighting. The objects shadows and lighting create dimension and a vivid sense of more contrast. There are areas in the making with more contrast and the sharp contrast that creates movement in the painting. The shadows and the lighting throughout the painting show gradations and the highlights create more depth. Staring from the upper-left hand corner with the first figure of a gentleman wearing a hue of blue and yellow, the left side of his face and garment shows the source light in right above him. The source light above the

The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the

This painting is much more sensual than Giorgione’s painting due to Titian’s because he engages the woman with the audience by making her look straightforwardly at the audience and his use of chiaroscuro (Grabski, Józef).

First of all, the lecturer argues that full color is used in this paintings, which questions the author' point of view that there is something inconsistent about the way the woman in the portrait is dressed.

So, in order to approach the ideas and qualities of goodness, the pieces discussed should be from an era that focuses on aspects related to goodness such as pleasure, purity, and nature. For this, then, the Rococo period is the most optimal time period as it sought show appreciation for life and display vitality. Each painting has a style that evokes feelings of light-heartedness and happiness through its complex strokes and colors, the best example of this being Interrupted Sleep by Francis Boucher. In this scene, the audience sees a goat herder tickling a young woman who has fallen asleep, and although the subject seems quite simple, the product resonates purity and elegance. The idea of tranquility in sleep from the girl, mischief from the boy, and especially childlike innocence, all within the scenery of nature gives the audience the impression of how natural and pure this lifestyle was. This setup, along with other clever stylistic choices allowed Boucher’s paintings to give a sense of the ideal form for this time period. In order to accomplish this Boucher decides to forego realism by clashing aristocracy with the natural world. While asleep in

This painting is divided into three equal parts by the arches in the background and the characters correspond to each of these arches (TV12). The father is in the middle portion of the painting. The lines of perspective created by the tiled floor, draws our attention to the swords that the father is holding and the vanishing point lies just behind the handles of the sword. Our angle of vision is such that we are looking directly at the main figures groups, particularly the father. A single light source from the left of the picture illuminates the characters and also focuses our attention to the father holding the sword. This creates a ‘theatrical’ effect. The background is simple and stark so our attention is focussed on the figure groups in the painting. The painting has a wide tonal range that makes the composition logical and balanced. The colours used in this
