Gold Side of Art

This is a portrait realized by Francisco Goya. I really want to talk more deeply about him, and I'll do surely in the future. He was absolutely a precursor of Romanticism. That’s why I don't want to focus on the subject, but more on the MO of the painter. He was living during Spain revolution and it really affects him. He didn't want to represent ”beauty”, there’s no space for that along with nature and history. Goya was, in its own way, a realistic painter. Far away from French realism, he didn't represent eternity. His artworks are elusive, like a flash in the pan. In this specific painting, he represents a young and stunning woman, who is posing fiercely knowing the power of her beauty. Although the painter is showing us that that is only an illusion because she's facing her imminent decadence.

Perseo with Medusa’s head This very powerful sculpture is the only one created especially for the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence. Created by Benvenuto Cellini, is a great example of virtuosity because is made with an ancient Greek technique, which was very inappropriate for this type of work. The toughness of the artist lead to this masterpiece. Source: Pinterest (presso Loggia dei Lanzi)

m in love with this painting! I can’t deny it. It’s beautyness is overwhelming, but it’s a typical part of the work of Gustave Klimt (of course one of my favourite artists) It’s represented Hygieia goddess of health and hygiene, but it’s only the remaining of a bigger work represented the medicine, burnt down in 1945. She is the representation of the weakness of mankind, gazing the spectator with an accent of superbia. - Hygieia Gustav Klimt 1901-1907 - #photogram #instagood #photooftheday #photoeveryday #instafamous #picture #beautiful #followme #explorationgram #love #fashion #htfla #picoftheday #artist #instaart #instadaily #arte #instagrammers #lovemyphotos #goodday #igers #instalike #gold #painting #klimt #pretty #instamood #art #photography

Hello 🖤 I’m so excited to introduce you to this painting! I had the pleasure to see it some month ago and I couldn’t not talking about that. - The painting is massive and this is very important since it gave more drama to the representation. Infact the figure are quite big and when you are staring at it you have the feeling to be part of that, which it’s very terrifying. - This painting shows Judith Beheading Holofernes. Everything is surrounded by a deep black background which recalls more the story but it was also typical of the painter. - The faces of the protagonists are very espressive and so realistic. Judith face is determined but also scared which is in contrasts with the her beauty. - This was absolutely one of my favorite paintings from Caravaggio. What’s yours? - Judith Beheading Holofernes 1598-1599 Caravaggio Oil on canvas Palazzo Barberini - - - - - #art #toptags #artist #artistic #artists #arte #artlovers #instaartoftheday #myart #artwork #illustration #graphicdesign #artstagram #color #bestartfeatures #instaart #painting #drawing #art_community #paintings #watercolor #watercolor #ink #creative #sketch #sketchoftheday #pencil #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday (presso Rome, Italy)
