Art has been a factor of our life as long as humanity has existed. For thousands of years, art has been created, observed, critiqued, and enjoyed by human beings in many regions across the world. Art aren’t just murals, sculptures, music, books or anything that someone may define as art but more of a bigger picture like if has a deeper meaning such a message or a theme that is looked upon. Art can be viewed at as many different ways in terms of people having different reactions or observing it in a different meaning. Someone could feel that the art work is very extraordinary and unique but someone else can have a different reaction and feel like it is no different than other artworks and have a literalist view upon the art. One art that made

Art is a way for not only everyday people but also artists to show their feelings and their passions. People can be affected in many, and different ways, through art. Even though art can be interpreted in different ways it can still have valuable meanings to almost everyone in their own special ways. Throughout time art has followed the people closely. It has fed on, and even publicized the state in which society was in. This is not saying that art can’t differ from the theme of society, but more times than not it usually relates to society in at least some small way. Society and Art can differ over the era in time. Art helps people to build their ideas and reshape their imaginations. Art can contribute to pass on the way thing were over different time periods.

Martin Luther’s Protestant Reformation had really stirred the religious pot. In the early 1600’s, the Catholic Church responded with the Counter Reformation which propelled the Baroque movement and its artistic aim of making Catholic theology appeal to the masses. Biblical stories with drama and movement were some of the ways Baroque artists sought to engage the viewer. Baroque dominated most of the seventeenth century Europe and later developed into the Rococo style later during the eighteenth century. Begun in the 1700’s, the Rococo Era was art of the aristocracies for the aristocracies. It was technically flashy, but without deep thought or emotional drama, the Rococo celebrated the leisure activities of the upper class. The Rococo style is above all an expression of wit and frivolity. Rococo style signaled the shift from Rome to Paris as the new capital of culture and fashion in Europe. Both styles were influenced by political, social and religious factors, and there are profound differences between the two styles. For this essay, I chose to compare an Italian painting from the Baroque era with a French painting from the Rococo Era. The two paintings I chose to compare and analyze are Luca Giordano’s Martyrdom of St. Bartolomeo, and Jean-Marc Nattier’s Terpsichore, Muse of Music and Dance.

Art is an essential part of society, whether it be in the 1800s or our century we live in today. It is a great way to express ourselves in ways that words cannot, and is commonly known as an important part in stress relief. Art helps show the emotions of the artists and how the world around them was represented on the canvases. One of the most famous painters the world has gotten the privilege to witness is Pablo Picasso.

Art is one area or topic where our society can come together to share their feelings or personal experiences with the world, even if they see the world in a different perspective. Art encourages our society to constantly search for creative new ideas of alternative way of thinking. Each culture has its own unique history and a different way of understanding the world around them. For an artist, this means that the message they try to show in their artwork is done through their own cultural language of symbolism.

Art is one of is one of human kinds most ancient skill. Arts play a large role in the expression of our inner thoughts and beauty in our life. From dance and music to abstract art our concept of life is shown through the various ways in which we interpret it.

This paper will examine the paintings of George De La Tours’s The Penitent Magdalene (1640-1645), Sebastiono Del Piombo’s Christ Carrying the Cross (1635-40), Santi di Tito’s Vision of St Thomas Aquinas (1593), and Caravaggio’s Madonna of Loreto 1603-1606).

The history of art is one the most fascinating type of history there is. Reasons can range from having the unique ability to tell the story of every artist putting their own mark on art culture to simply being the story of how people were able to create an outlet where they could express the way they were feeling about society or changes within Earth itself, with beautiful and admirable artwork. But of all, the artwork created a chance to be openly interpreted by anyone and be observed differently and freely. It’s like a secret message that is created in each work of art that contains the story behind it or the reason why the artwork was created in the first place. However they was also jealousy and pride that bloomed with creating art. Inspiration to artists came from anything: nature, loved ones, experiences but most of all other artists.

A critical analysis of Jansen’s work entitled “Medieval Italy: Texts in Translation” will provide a paraphrased document of the author’s arguments. In her book, Jansen begins by noting that over the past five decades, the history of Italy in the medieval ages has been a vibrant scholarly research area with new discoveries of documents, methodologies, and theories. In the first chapter, the author observes the social life that existed in the Medieval Italy. The social events during the era were primarily recorded in legal documents known as ‘Charters.’ Some of the transactions recorded in charters included agricultural contracts, leases, wills, donations, and sales. The participants had to be present upon the record of these events because they would then preserve them and retrieve them when needed to prove that

The artwork is an aesthetic autonomous expression by someone on something. This means that artwork always has a life of its own that is very separate and different from other affairs of human beings. The artist making the art will always define the purposes and the functions of his/her arts. Sometimes it may be the public or the market of the arts that will define the functions of the arts. Expression by artists through artwork has always expressed, reflected, and influenced the cultures, places, and time from which the art itself always evolves. The art can also be used for social and media criticism and that means it helps in objecting to reality. Some people also use artwork as a tool for knowledge creation and research. It has also got some very important social benefits like bringing happiness to different people.

An artist, can and has represented what he or she sees then produces it on a material, which allows the audience see a different point-of-view to see the world. A piece of art can allow the viewers to have an emotional feeling, which has allowed life to imitate art because that feeling they have discovered can or have stuck with them and changed their perception on how to act upon on an action. Art is neither one of reflection of social change or an impetus, it is both. Art is neither just one, it engages each person in a rather different way. Art work has created such emotions to some people that it has created resistance and revolution throughout the years.

would have nothing to do with art. But it seems that art can be found centered upon this idea.
