Excellent commentary. I just watched the movie with the same name. Even though it was fiction and not based on historical fact, the movie was a masterpiece in its own right and I think it will generate renewed interest in this beautiful painting and the artist Vermeer. He was a true master of light.
Why the man in the top hat and holding a cane -lower left- is so out of proportion and scale is not explained. Otherwise, the video offers some well-stated observations.
I think that “Mona Lisa”is a masterpiece that embodies the idea of "human love". The reasons are as follows. I believe that the work integrates at least four loving models: Lisa del Giocondo (Lisa Maria de Gherardini), Gian Giacomo Caprotti (Salai), the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ (Salvator Mundi). If you look closely, you can see the initials of each of these four people in the painting. The actual models are Riza and Salai. The right half of the body is Sarai and the left half is Riza. The letter 'LV' in the right eye means Leonardo, while the letter 'B' in the left eye probably means the 'B' of Bartolomeo, Riza's husband. The two bridges also indicate the Virgin Mary's initials (M), and the 'L2' on the bridge probably refers to 'Luke 2 of the Gospel according to Luke'. I think the winding road is a mirror letter, indicating the initials (S) of Jesus Christ (Salvator Mundi). Incidentally, if you look at this part of the picture in the mirror, you can see something like a "chalice". In other words, the painting is a fusion of two models, Sarai and Riza, who were filled with real love, superimposed on the symbols of charity, Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary respectively.
The great Masters organised his paintings through his knowledge of Ancient History, Is intelectual movement Academic as Aesthetic experience, represents theyr world. Today we just have subjects on Romanticism or Impressionist aproach, this is our heritage , who learns that History in Art Academy Fine Arts ? in modern times ? Renewal Art Center have it in Florence, but to produce really Art of Painting, is amazing what they have done. Realism is my style .
Munch described The Scream as an image of a godless age. Sin will take away all safety and peace, separating the sinner from the loving and protective will of God. God's commandments show us God's will for us, show the good way that God blesses.
So interesting! This painting was part of my childhood as we had a large print of it on our sitting room wall and I always loved to look at it and imagine being there! Thank you so much!
What I really adore about art is its ability to surprise you at any given point. It can take years to grab your attention or it can be an instant realisation. ‘The Scream’, took me many years but I’ve found an almost comfort in it as of recent. I’m as surprised as anyone but again, that’s art.
Didn't even bother to bring up "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" where Bugs, Daffy, and Elmer Fudd entered the painting and interacted with the screaming figure, even turning Elmer Fudd into the figure.
Thanks for this video. But you're wrong. Щукин с самого начала просил панно для лестницы. Именно туда эти два панно и разместили. Этот факт известен давно из переписки между Щукиным и Матиссом, кроме того, есть воспоминания. Удачи Вам в новых проектах.❤💐 С любовью из Москвы.
Starry night shows swirling stars similar to the effect of vertigo, a symptom of Meniere's. Vincent van Gogh is thought to have suffered from tinnitus as one of the symptoms of Ménière's disease. This condition also includes attacks of vertigo lasting hours, loss of balance, nausea and vomiting. ... Some medical historians now think van Gogh cut off part of his ear in an attempt to relieve his symptoms.
David was a master at navigating and manipulating extremely divergent political movements and their primary actors. Adored and admired by Louis the 16th, Robespierre, and Napoleon. This ability he had, is an art in and of itself. Goya also possessed this talent.
"Discontented with the modern world and the irreversible impact on nature".... 125 years ago, and nowadays I feel just like that without having the ability to do something about this problem.
I am not an art "afficinato" nor do i prenteind to be. for that matter i think the "study of art" is mislead...however, this painting speaks to me, and thats all i care to know.
