Julie Quezada Prof. Yow ENC 1101 31 May 2017 Bartholdi’s Statue of Liberty detail head The photograph of Liberty enlightening the world (Statue of Liberty), detail view of head, was sculpted by Fredrick Auguste Bartholdi in 1884, and is currently located in Liberty island, New York. Fredrick, the French sculptor, intended his masterpiece to be completed the day America signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 (The New Colossus). The image concerning the statue is focused only on the head and part of her arm, the full sculpture is estimated to be 151 feet tall and about four hundred fifty thousand pounds. America and France’s independence was a reason the statue was designed. The photo regarding Bartholdi’s design of the Statue of Liberty features a light green statue with weathering affecting its condition, is centered in the image, and carries a historical background, that includes three contextual thoughts. Primarily, the photo regarding the head of Lady Liberty is the focal point in the photograph that is being highlighted by the faded blue in the background. On the left side of the arm, one can notice a white part appearing. This is due to a light hitting the object in that direction. A shadow on the opposite …show more content…

  • Statue Of Nykara Analysis

    643 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Ancient Egyptian sculpture, “Statue of Nykara and His Family”, was sculpted during the late fifth dynasty. The sculpture is a depiction of Nykara, his wife, Nubkau, and son, Ankhma-Re. The statue is in poor condition with pieces of limestone missing and chips on the three subject’s faces and bodies. The painted limestone shows the conventional colors for the male and female subjects. There is a clear discoloration among Nykara and his son’s bodies. The brownish red color they once were has eroded to a light yellowish color, which resembles the purposeful color of Nykara’s wife. The hieroglyphs on Nykara’s seat insinuate that the sculpture is meant to be viewed from the front view. This is also evident by the way the three subjects are facing forward in frontal view. There are hieroglyphs on both the chair and base of the statue near Nykara’s wife and son’s feet.

    The early Renaissance, which had begun in Quattrocento Italy, was sparked by the beginnings of the Humanist movement. Considered a return to classical ideals, harkening to an early time when art, philosophy and architecture focused more on men’s achievements rather than entirely concern with his salvation, which dominated the Middle Ages. Although piety was still a predominant part of everyday life, the nostalgia, which became inspiration during this period, initiated a rediscovery of the ideals from the classical Roman and Greek eras. Whose art and architecture could be seen throughout Italy and Sicily. Thus, higher education became the predominant theme among influential families. From this an immergence of forgotten manuscripts and treatise

    The Declaration of Independence art piece was commissioned in the year 1817 and was placed nine years later in 1826. The historical context of this painting presents the scene from June 28, 1776, when the first draft of the Declaration of Independence was presented to the Second Continental Congress. The innovation of American society in the year 1817 could have influenced the painting of the Declaration of Independence. Advancements such as the first city being powered by gas, the Mississippi river steam boat service starting, and the first school for the deaf were huge progressions in American economy. The connections between the context and the content are more clearly presented through the context of the second continental congress. In

  • Statue Of Liberty

    384 Words  | 1 Pages

    I chose to write about the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty serves as a symbolic fixture of the principles America was founded on. She represents freedom, liberty, and opportunity. The location of the Statue of Liberty is an amazing feat in itself, it is right in the middle of a very wide and a very deep Hudson river, and at the time it was brought there, with the limited technology, was amazing. Adding to the location, The State of Liberty as everyone knows is right next to the old customs ports where thousands of hungry, and poor immigrants fresh off the boat would pass through looking for a better life. The fact that Liberty is a woman is an ingenious idea because a woman tends to be more sympathetic and willing to help, if Liberty was a man the statue would seem more cold, stiff, and even militant. Throughout history statues have been built to represent a great moment but the Statue of Liberty was build to symbolize a great idea and country. At that time in history people were flocking to America because they were either being persecuted in their home countries or they were just disappointed at the status of their lives and wanted to come to “the land of opportunity” to start a new life.
