    the Venetian ‘Poesia’: Grafting, Metaphor, and Embodiment in Giorgione, Titian, and the Campagnolas,” Campbell explains the role of poetic painting, poesia, in Venetian artwork during the 1500s. Titian personally used the term poesia when he “[referred] to paintings he was making for [King Philip II] with subject matter derived from the ancient poets.” Poesia now refers to a type of sixteenth century Venetian painting, which Giorgione and Titian initiated and used within their works.

    done around the 1800 and 1900’s were expected to sell to higher-class citizens that targeted more of a male audience. While Edward Manet’s, Olympia seems to do just that, it actually takes a different turn than what his predecessors, Titian and Giorgione to be exact, with the same pose are doing. There the models in the paintings are depicted as goddesses whereas with Olympia the model has become the goddess herself. What’s even more controversial is when Yasumasa Morimura makes his own Olympia and

  • Titian

    Titian No one knows exactly when the Italian artist, Tiziano Vecellio, was born. Over the centuries, there has been a great deal of confusion concerning the date, due to a misprint in his biography by sixteenth century art historian, Girgio Vasari. Vasari recorded the date as 1480, but the progress of Tiziano Vecellio’s work, as well as other documented sources, announce his date of birth to be sometime between 1488 and 1490.

    to Giorgio da Castelfranco, later known as Giorgione. Titian and Giorgione collaborated on many works and he was a major influence on Titian’s tonal approach to painting as well as his landscape style. The two artists worked in such a similar manner that the line between them has been hard to distinguish. It is hardest to tell the two apart in their pastoral landscapes in which the beauty of nature is celebrated alongside love and music. With Giorgione dying in 1510 and Giovanni Bellini dying

    writing and researching for the essay. I picked Giorgione/ Titian’s Le Concert Champêtre and Édouard Manet’s Le Dejeuner sur l’Herbe because of how similar these two artworks are but at the same, it was treated differently due to the different period that were created. Giorgione or even Titian’s painting was more ‘accepted’ than Manet’s painting in his early days, as more ‘rules’ was set in his period and resulting in Manet being

    A1. Earlier Historical Art Period In the early 1300s, Europeans began to shed the dark and oppressing mindsets of the Middle Ages. This sparked a revolution that would begin in Italy and spread throughout Europe, and is known today as the Renaissance. The word Renaissance literally (and fittingly) means ‘rebirth’ – making it a fitting title for a period where interest in learning, philosophy, and the classical arts were ‘reborn’. Where the Middle Ages took the meaning out of the arts – using paintings

    really took away from his history. Titian’s history seemed more objective, while remaining subjective. I do not know if some of the writing was lost in translation. 10. I appreciated here his “frowning” down on how Giorgione made use of models. Vasari surmises that because they (Giorgione, Palma, and Il Pordenone) had not been to Rome to study “perfect works” they were not as great as those artists who did. This statement reminded me of Chapter 17 which discusses disegno/colore. The Italian Renaissance

  • Substitutivity in Semantic Logic

    3925 Words  | 8 Pages

    Substitutivity The problem of substitutivity has always been a thorn in the side of the study of semantic logic. Why does it sometimes appear that terms that refer to identical objects cannot be replaced with each other in propositions without altering the truth value or meaning of said proposition? Leibniz's Law would seem to ensure that we could perform such an action without anything significant having changed, but this is clearly not so. I intend to look at the history, not only of this problem

  • Reflection On Art

    771 Words  | 2 Pages

    Before participating the ART 100 course, I really don’t know how are the elements of art and principles of design. It is interesting when I have some background about the art after finishing this course. This class has given me so much knowledge about the work of art. Now when I look at a painting, I can analyze the work of art based on the elements of art which is line, shape, forms, space, color, and texture; I also describe an overview of an artwork such as emphasis, unity, movement, or proportion
