"Conversion of Saul" - Caravaggio 1600

  • use of chiaroscuro is more intense
  • actual space is dominated by the horse - even tho Saul is the focus
  • not perfect proportions - less important than Renaissance
Term
Definition

"Entombment of Christ"

Caravaggio (1600)

  • light hits different surfaces differently

"Judith Beheading Holofernes"

Caravaggio (1600)

Artemisia Gentileschi (1610)

"David"

Gianlorenzo Bernini, 1620

  • the base is more complex than in Renaissance
  • depicting a snap shot moment of action - not the same approach to psychology as Michelangelo

  • the clenched mouth: Bernini was famous for his expressive mouths and eyes
  • more negative space, feels more open
  • Bernini also famous for approach to texture
Term
Definition

"Apollo and Daphne"

Gianlorenzo Bernini, 1620

  • theme of metamorphosis is a favorite of Bernini and Baroque in general
  • again the expressive mouths and eyes
  • textured hair, leaves, bark (very real impression)
  • ultimate paragone: poetry and sculpture --> sculpture exceeds power of poetry
Term
Definition

"Pluto and Persephone"

Gianlorenzo Bernini, 1620

  • disturbing subject matter again
  • organization of figures motivates 360 viewing experience

Definition

"The Ecstasy of St Teresa"

Gianlorenzo Bernini, 1645

  • Bernini did all of it, shows his array of abilities: architecture, fresco, sculpture, bronze-casting, wood work
  • exemplifies the High Baroque (esp. with gilding)
  • Bernini includes commissioner's family in onlooking sculptures that flank main event and direct our gaze to Teresa
  • eroticized figure of Teresa
  • drapery is very over the top
  • why is Bernini asking us to read this erotically?
Term
Definition

"Portrait of Costanza Buonarelli"

Gianlorenzo Bernini, 1635

Gianlorenzo Bernini, 1660

  • compares the colonnade to the arms of the Mother Church embracing the people
Term
Definition

"Alpine Landscape"

Pieter Bruegel, 1560

  • juxtaposition of stylized and naturalistic elements creates a more emotional scene instead of a photographic one
  • diagonals dominate the movement
  • achievement of atmospheric perspective through methods of shading (hatching/cross-hatching/stippling/etc.)
Term
Definition

"Fall of Icarus"

Pieter Bruegel, 1560

  • laboring peasants are the backdrop for Icarus' folly, has a strange effect
  • setting sun doesn't make sense with the scene - maybe it's supposed to mean that it wasn't the sun that killed Icarus but his own folly
  • creative approach to narrative 
  • atmospheric perspective with very high horizon line: calls our attention to foreground where action occurs
Term
Definition

Hieronymus Bosch, 1500

"Big Fish Eat the Little Fish"

Pieter Bruegel, 1560

  • fantastical creatures and forms - influence of Bosch

  • infinite regress of the pattern, but begins with human cutting into biggest fish with a knife that has symbol of cross-on-globe on it
  • the work requires interpretation - changing role of artist
  • style of a work meant to be an engraving: clear outlines/shading
Term
Definition

"Justice"

Pieter Bruegel, 1560
