Venus Of Urbino And Cranach's Nymph Of The Spring

494 Words2 Pages

At a first glance, it is apparent that Titian’s Venus of Urbino and Cranach’s Nymph of the Spring share many similarities. One major similarity between these two pieces is the time period in which both were made in. Titian’s Venus of Urbino was made in 1538 while Cranach’s Nymph of the Spring was created around the year 1537. Both paintings depict women laying down comfortably in the nude as the main subjects of each piece. Both pieces could be considered portraits of these women. The amount of similarities at hand are easily outnumbered by the amount of differences present between the two pieces. Even with the two paintings being created within the span of a year apart, they each have different styles. Titian’s Venus of Urbino, created in …show more content…

The medium of the Venus of Urbino is oil on canvas while the Nymph of the Spring’s medium is oil on wood. The wood allows for the Nymph of the Spring to have a more nature oriented feeling while the canvas allows the Venus of Urbino to have a more fleshy texture, which can connect to the eroticism of the piece.
The Venus of Urbino is representative of the realism style due to the shaping of the subjects action and the setting surrounding her. The Nymph of the Spring style may be considered idealism considering the environment that the subject is in and the scene being portrayed is less likely to happen than that of the Venus of Urbino.
It is apparent that the Venus of Urbino and the Nymph of the Spring consist of more differences than similarities. Having these two pieces being made so close in time to each other, would have one believing that the two pieces would have more in common. These two pieces of art are an example of how different regions and events, such as the Renaissances, can drastically change the perspective of artists and their works regardless of how small the time gap between pieces can

The symbolism behind these two paintings are very similar. There are also some similarities in the composition of these two paintings, but there are many differences in the composition of these two paintings. The first symbolic similarity is that these paintings have a meaning of death.

A thing to note would be the similarities in the way that they were created. The Golden Altar was built using wood and covered in gold, while in the Maesta, the painting was painted on wood and filled in with gold. Also in the structure of both you can see the pillars with what seems to be windows that each contain a different person or story. Both works of art are viewed in church for the public to see. A difference is that in the Golden Altar, Jesus is the point of view for the audience.

Seated Boxer Visual Analysis

588 Words | 3 Pages

The biggest similarity between both sculptures is the delicate detail provided to the both figures. The big muscles, tilted brow and the beaten up look of ‘Seated Boxer’s’ body shows the nature rule of human figure and the strength of the human body. ‘David’s’ lean and smaller form show the little details of the male form, and ‘David’ is very balance between confidence and strength of male with the arrogant emotional and combined part of male and female (Allen, 2014). In both the Hellenistic and early Italian Renaissance periods; the human form became a study for artists and sculptors, because of the difficulty in accurate to recreate it, so that the perfection becomes a goal to achieve by the time. Furthermore, the Greeks also find a fact that successful sculptures are those pieces that actually could imply the religion and show strength of men in both physically and mentally.

Altered View Of Man Dbq Essay

1092 Words | 5 Pages

One way paintings demonstrate this is the difference between the Mona Lisa and Madonna Enthroned Between Two Angels. The older painting, Madonna Enthroned Between Two Angles, is unrealistic and has rather depressing dark colors. While the Renaissance painting, the Mona Lisa, is not only much more realistic, but also a lot more cheerful, brighter feel, and became a true masterpiece (Doc A). In the paintings, the fact the Renaissance painting is brighter, more realistic and a famous masterpiece, shows that the Renaissance changed the art style into a unique, amazing representation that changed the entire future of art. The paintings from the Renaissance showed that people saw each other differently than before( Doc A).

Analysis Of Roman Courtship By William Ernest Reynolds-Stephens

1175 Words | 5 Pages

I was seeing painting after painting in the museum and they all looked the same to me. As it came to the end of the tour I was worried I wouldn’t have an image I actually wanted to talk about, then something about the way this was painted made me fall in love with the painting. I'm not usually the person that falls in love with a painting and imagines all the things it could mean but when I saw the clarity of Roman Courtship and the colors I knew that this was the painting I wanted to talk about. Another work I saw in the Ringling that caught my eye was Circe Entertaining Odysseus at a Banquet by Italian artist Giovanni Paolo Panini.

Woman In Black At The Opera Analysis

985 Words | 4 Pages

The two pieces of art I will discuss is Edouard Manet’s ‘Olympia’ and Mary Cassatt 's ‘Woman in Black at the Opera’. Manet’s Olympia was not critically accepted, the reaction to his painting was negative, only four critics out of sixty were favorably disposed to Olympia. Olympia was a derivative of Titian 's Venus. In 1863 the critics and the viewers didn’t know how to take Olympia, “they were unable to cope with so many novel factors and so they were unable to categorize the picture and so were unable to analyze it or understand it in any context” (Laurence, 2012). Nowadays we are more open minded and are able to see the painting in a different light.

Surrealism: A Primary Source Analysis

659 Words | 3 Pages

For a secondary source, I chose History of Modern Art: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture by H. H. Arnason and Elizabeth Mansfield. I chose this source after looking at a few books because it contains information on a wide variety of artistic movements and puts Surrealism into the context of the history of events that took place. The authors of this source gives readers a full history of surrealism, invokes deeper thought in readers of René Magritte’s life and art, specifically The Treachery of Images, and provides details and explanations that help connect the dots between this and the primary source. Surrealism brought together a group of alienated individuals in response to World War I. Surrealist artists believed that they could not belong to a society that went into the war without thought and resulted in millions of deaths. These artists used Freud’s theories “to explain––maybe even cure–– human aggression and deviance.”

Picasso Vs Matisse

546 Words | 3 Pages

In the painting, “Decorative Figure on an Ornamental Background.” the subject matter, like Picasso’s, is also figurative and and the style is representational. Another difference both paintings have is that Picasso uses distorted lines to make a women figure, whereas, in Matisse’s painting his lines are not distorted and it is easy to notice that there is a women in the painting. In addition, in “Woman in an Armchair” there is not a background pattern and the painting seems plain, but in “Decorative Figure on an Ornamental Background,” Matisse uses patterns and different shapes to bring the painting to life and to have the women figure contrast with the background. One comparison that both paintings have in common would be that both women figures in the paintings are nude and turned to the side revealing one angle of their face.

The Birth Of Venus By Sandro Botticelli

171 Words | 1 Pages

Neo-Platonism has made a major impact on renaissance art, by fusing of Greek philosophy and Christianity. This blending of cultures has created works of art that symbolize the Greek ideals of godliness, love, beauty, and truth. The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli was created in 1485, this piece of art is a great example of Neo-Platonism, because it shows the high regard for Greeks aesthetics as well as the Christians church belief of us all being made in god’s image and that true beauty is the work of god himself. The painting depicts a tall red headed woman nude, standing on a shell floating on the surface of a lake. To her right two angels one man one woman approach, while to her left a woman with a large rose colored sheet looks to be
