    Nicolas de Largillière was a French painter who excelled in creating formal portraits of the wealthy social classes. In this portrait, Nicolas rendered Helene Lambert de Thorigny magnificently dressed and framed by a garland painted by Belin. He illustrates Madame de Thorigny in a luxurious setting, thereby letting the viewer know of her status and social standing. To emphasize this, he paints the background with ornate, classical columns, high ceilings, and an impressive interior design.…

    The painting still receives much attention and is the base of discussion for many art lovers and historians (Mohan and Centeno, 2005). However, the very details that made the portrait so shocking nearly a century and a half ago are what now delight critics and casual viewers alike; the piece is truly remarkable in its contrasting hues and dramatic details. The lines are crisp and clean, the lighting is flattering yet dramatic, and the composition is pleasing to the eye. While these fundamental artistic components make a great contribution to the attractiveness of this painting, the subject herself deserves to be recognized as the most beautiful thing about the portrait. Gautreau’s physical beauty is often debated even today, mostly because her roman nose is considered too prominent to be classified as classically beautiful. The difference in opinion regarding Gautreau’s physical features is where most modern controversies end. It is the painting’s daring representation of Gautreau, rather, which is inarguably beautiful. The unorthodox pose, the revealing clothing, and the haughty expression were all revolutionary for the time they were presented. Sargent and Gautreau’s goal was not to challenge the societal norms of the time; in fact, their goal was the exact opposite. Inadvertently, however, the appreciation of Amelie Gautreau’s portrait one hundred and fifty years later is now a wonderful reminder of the power in breaking rules and refusing to fit into the definition of…

    - I chose the work of art of Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun. The artwork was called Marie-Antoinette and Her Children, which was painted in the year of 1787 with the medium of oil on canvas. This painting took place in Palace of Versailles in the country France. In comparison, I chose the composer Jean-Philippe Rameau and his selected work called Trait. This era had a main focus on Queens and Kings and it is known to be “The Age of Kings” (pg. 388). This also had significance with the settlement of three important countries and they were Dutch, the English, and the French. In both picture and music I can tell that there is a similarity because they share the same nationalities and it is brought out through painting and music. In the painting it has a focal point on the…

    Jacques Louis David was probably the most influential and leading artist of the neo-classical period and a political propagandist of the French Revolution. His most famous work from this time is “The Death of Marat”. David career was completely tied up with the politic of the day and this is first noticed in his painting “The Oath of The Horatii”. Painted in 1784 “a number of historians have identified an element of pre-revolutionary radicalism and was seen as profoundly anti acadamie.” He soon joined the revolutionary “Jacobin Club” and was then commissioned to paint his first truly political painting “The Tennis Court Oath” which depicts the constitution of the national assembly at the royal tennis courts in the “Chateau of Versailles”. This historical event is said to have been a leading factor of the revolution and in turn the fall of the monarchy.…
