San Francesco al Prato Resurrection

Prompt: Focus on San Francesco al Prato Resurrection and explain the Description.

The work follows a typical scheme of Perugino's art. The divinity, in this case the resurrected Jesus, is depicted within a mandorla occupying the upper part of the painting, among angels. The lower part shows, above a landscape in the background, the open sarcophagus and several Roman soldiers, three of whom are sleeping and one awakened by the miracle. Another example of the scheme is the contemporary Transfiguration in the Collegio del Cambio in Perugia.The figure of Christ, holding the flag symbolic of the resurrection, has the typical harmony and softness of Perugino's mature works, with a detailed chest and a bright drapery with deep pleats. The two angels at his sides are symmetrical, and were obtained from the same cartoon (used by the artist and his workshop also in other works, such as the Madonna in Glory with Saints at Bologna). The sarcophagus has its cover correctly painted according to geometrical perspective. The soldiers are also painted with attentions and details, such as the fanciful crest of the helmet, also present in the Collegio del Cambio frescoes.

Pendant with Saint George

Prompt: Focus on Pendant with Saint George and explain the Description.

Masriera created this piece depicting the patron saint of Catalonia, Saint George, slaying a dragon in 1901-1902 after returning from the Exposition Universelle in 1900 where he decided to reinvent his entire manner of design including genre and style. The piece features the new staples of Masriera's Modernisme style including delicate gold work, plique-à-jour and basse-taille enamel work, and the incorporation of precious stones. The body of the dragon creates the form of the entire circular pendant highlighting, again, the themes of Art Nouveau by focusing on nature as the principal source of inspiration to create shapes and art. A single ruby creates the dragon's eye and it is holding six diamonds within its vicious maw. The dragon's body and wings are resplendent with delicate enamel work. By contrast, Saint George himself is an imposing figure wrought from unadorned gold, as is his horse. The pendant measures 4.6 cm x 3.6 cm x 0.8 cm and was purchased in 1966 by the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (National Art Museum of Catalonia) for their permanent collection. The pendant features in the Modern Art exhibit, which was renovated in 2014.

Pendant with Saint George

Prompt: Focus on Pendant with Saint George and explain the The Legend of Saint George.

There are many versions of the legend of Saint George but the most traditional tells the story of Saint George in Libya. Saint George travelled to Libya and, upon arrival, he happened upon a pond where a ferocious dragon lived. The dragon was terrorizing the country and, every day, to appease the mighty beast, the people had been feeding the dragon a sheep. When the town had no sheep remaining, the dragon had demanded that a young maiden be substituted and sacrificed to him each day. Saint George discovered that all the young girls, save one princess, had already been sacrificed. The king promised his last daughter's hand to any knight that could slay the dragon and break the cursed cycle. The next day, the princess was to be sacrificed, but Saint George sent her back to the castle and approached the dragon himself. The dragon, roused by the hoof beats of Saint George's horse, exited his cave. Saint George was not afraid and keenly moved under the dragon to strike him under its wing where there were no protective scales. The dragon fell dead and the town was saved.Saint George was adopted as the patron saint of Catalonia in the 15th century as a mixture of celebrations: one part that adopted the legend as local lore, having occurred in Catalonia and not Libya, and the other, as an allegory for the battle between the early Christians and Moors in Spain.

Pendant with Saint George

Prompt: Focus on Pendant with Saint George and explain the Modernisme.

Modernisme (Catalan for "art nouveau") is the name given to the Art Nouveau movement in the Catalonia region of northern Spain. It is the equivalent to a number of fin-de-siècle art movements, such as Art Nouveau, Jugendstil, Secessionism, and Liberty style, and was active from roughly 1888 to 1911. The Modernisme movement was centered on the city of Barcelona, and is best known for its architectural legacy, mainly the work of Antoni Gaudí, but was also significant in sculpture, poetry, theater, and painting. In Spain, Masriera "made the only significant contribution known to date to Art Nouveau jewelry."

Prompt: Focus on On Watch and explain the Historical information.

In 1972-73 the city of Milwaukee converted Madonna High School into a modern training academy for the city's policemen and firemen. The new building qualified for Milwaukee's Percent for Art program, therefore two competitions were held by the Milwaukee Arts Commission to choose a sculpture for the site. After the first competition's results were announced, the artists involved complained of changes in guidelines and favoritism. A second competition was thus held. David M. Wanner won the second competition and the $33,000 commission. The three bronze figures were cast in thirteen pieces and then welded together. They were set on concrete foundations, which go 4 1/2 ft. underground. "Wanner wanted to subtly represent the fire fighter as a black minority- either a man or woman; however, the bronze casting by a local industrial foundry blurred the desired nuance."

David M. Wanner was a Catholic priest as a young man and participated in the civil rights movement. He received a PhD in Fine Arts and Sculpture in 1976 from the Union Institute in Cincinnati, and an MA in Systematic Technology in 1973 from Marquette University in Milwaukee. He has worked in sculpture and design since 1968. Wanner founded Wanner Sculpture Studio in 1970 in Milwaukee, where he works with his son Jordan Wanner. The sculptor is inspired by his faith as well as the work of other artists. "The sculptural style of David and Jordan is rooted in the contemporary European tradition of sculpture, as exemplified in the works of Meštrović, Bourdelli, Rodin, Barlach, Kolbe, Marcks, and others." He currently works on both private commissions and ecclesiastical sculptures.

Alone in the World (Bouguereau)

Prompt: Focus on Alone in the World (Bouguereau) and explain the abstract.

Alone in the World (French: Seule au Monde) is an oil-on-canvas painting created by nineteenth-century French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Although the exact year of creation is unknown, Theo van Gogh acquired it in 1867 so it may be placed in the early part of Bouguereau's career.The painting depicts a peasant girl holding a violin and standing on a bridge over the Seine in Paris.  She is looking to her left with a melancholy expression.  The cathedral of Notre Dame can be seen in the background, as well as a bridge which appears to be the Pont Royal.  This indicates that the girl is standing on the Pont de Solférino.

Martyrdom of Four Saints

Prompt: Focus on Martyrdom of Four Saints and explain the History.

The work is one of the canvasses commissioned by Parmesan noble Placido Del Bono for a chapel in the church of San Giovanni Evangelista in Parma. They are mentioned (although wrongly assigned to the city's cathedral) by late Renaissance art biographer Giorgio Vasari in the first edition of his Lives (1550).The subject of the painting, rather rare in western religious art, is the martyrdom of Placidus and his sister Flavia (who had allegedly lived in the 4th century) and, behind them, that of two earlier Roman siblings, Eutychius and Victorinus, who appear to have been already beheaded. An angel flies above them and holds the palm of martyrdom.

Recanati Polyptych

Prompt: Focus on Recanati Polyptych and explain the Description.

The polyptych includes a larger altarpiece in the center, flanked by two smaller ones in the same shape. At the top are two side panels with saints, and a top rectangular one depicting the Pietà. The polyptych scheme, related to a 15th-century old-fashioned scheme, was perhaps chosen by the friars of the convent. Lotto developed it into a single composition, at least in the lower panels, with a scene set under a loggia with a coffered barrel vault in center and two minor vaults at the sides, while in the background is a landscape representation.The niches in the background, featuring Byzantine-style mosaics, are inspired by earlier works by Giovanni Bellini, while the checkerboard pavement is an example of knowledge of the geometrical perspective introduced by the Italian Renaissance in the 15th century.The panels are:Madonna with Child, Angels and Saints (center, 227x108 cm)Saints Thomas of Aquino and Flavian (left, 155x67 cm)Saints Peter of Verona and Vitus (right,  155x67 cm)Saints Lucy and Vincent Ferrer (upper left,  67x67 cm)Saints Catherine of Siena and Sigismund (upper right, 67x67 cm)Pietà (top,  80x108 cm)The presence of Dominican saints is connected to the order who held the church, while Flavian and Vitues are the patrons saints of Recanati. Saint Dominic himself is portrayed in the central panel while receiving the white scapular from the Virgin. Next to Dominic are two little musician angels, who are scared by him.

Aphrodite of Rhodes

Prompt: Focus on Aphrodite of Rhodes and explain the Description.

Crouching Venuses were used from the Hellenistic period onwards to adorn houses by the wealthy. This type of statues ultimately derives from a lost Greek original of the third century BC which was attributed to a sculptor named Doedalsas of Bithynia (a region in northwest Anatolia). Typically, a Crouching Venus will show the goddess kneeling after bathing, looking at her right after being alarmed, usually trying to conceal her nakedness with her hands. The Aphrodite of Rhodes shows a unique variation where the goddess, rather than trying to hide her form in modesty, lifts her hair in her fingers to dry it, and looks out at the viewer openly displaying her breasts.It is a small and elegant sculpture, representative sample of the light rhythm, which flourished in the late Hellenistic times and is conventionally dubbed "Hellenistic Rococo". Aphrodite of Rhodes is preserved intact with a very well polished surface, which gives the impression of porcelain. In accordance with the style of the time, not a lot of anatomical details are shown.Built around the second or first century BC, the marble statue is 49 cm in height (or about 1/2 life-size), with an additional 12 cm-tall base (or 61 cm in total). The base, although ancient, probably did not belong originally to this sculpture, and the crystalline-white marble was probably sourced from the island of Paros. The statue is almost intact, with the exception of some chips in the hair's locks in the rear, and some abrasions on the toes, especially those of the left foot. This finely created figure was carved from a single piece of marble.

The Hussite Sermon

Prompt: Focus on The Hussite Sermon and explain the abstract.

The Hussite Sermon (German - Die Hussitenpredigt) is a painting by the Düsseldorf-based painter Karl Friedrich Lessing, showing an open-air sermon being delivered by a Hussite preacher in the 15th century. It is now in the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.In 1834, Crown Prince Frederick William of Prussia saw an oil sketch on the subject by Lessing in 1834 and commissioned him between 1835 and 1836 to produce a full-scale version. The mainly Catholic Rhineland had recently been annexed to the Protestant-dominated Kingdom of Prussia by the Congress of Vienna and so the work was seen as a piece of anti-Catholic propaganda for the area's Protestant minority. In the context of the restoration of the German princes to their thrones and the Vormärz, others also saw it as a criticism of the repressiveness of the states and systems that were put in place by Metternich and the Congress. Middle-class audiences saw it as an expression of opposition to kingly and church authority alike. It was briefly exhibited in Germany and Paris, spreading the reputation of the Düsseldorf school of painting.

The Hussite Sermon

Prompt: Explain the abstract of this artwork, The Hussite Sermon.

The Hussite Sermon (German - Die Hussitenpredigt) is a painting by the Düsseldorf-based painter Karl Friedrich Lessing, showing an open-air sermon being delivered by a Hussite preacher in the 15th century. It is now in the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.In 1834, Crown Prince Frederick William of Prussia saw an oil sketch on the subject by Lessing in 1834 and commissioned him between 1835 and 1836 to produce a full-scale version. The mainly Catholic Rhineland had recently been annexed to the Protestant-dominated Kingdom of Prussia by the Congress of Vienna and so the work was seen as a piece of anti-Catholic propaganda for the area's Protestant minority. In the context of the restoration of the German princes to their thrones and the Vormärz, others also saw it as a criticism of the repressiveness of the states and systems that were put in place by Metternich and the Congress. Middle-class audiences saw it as an expression of opposition to kingly and church authority alike. It was briefly exhibited in Germany and Paris, spreading the reputation of the Düsseldorf school of painting.

The Hussite Sermon

Prompt: Focus on The Hussite Sermon and explain the Description and meaning.

At the center of a concentric group of figures, a circle of medieval warriors, two women and a child, stands a prominent, determined-faced preacher, perhaps Jan Hus, perhaps another spiritual leader of the Hussite movement, dressed in a flowing white robe and facing the viewer, raises a golden chalice in a theatrical gesture. To him a devotee stretches out his arms in religious zeal. The preacher's head is accentuated by flashing vapors. Incident light highlights the figure of the preacher, including part of the group of figures, against the smoky background. With the thoroughly sympathetic depiction of the central figure of the preacher in a crowd of followers, who present a "heretic" as the bringer of salvation, Lessing continued well-known depictions of Jesus and disciples in Christian pictorial tradition. The scene, depicting a field service in a moment of intense religious experience, takes place in or on the edge of a wooded mountainside against the backdrop of a burning complex of buildings, perhaps a monastery, castle, or urban settlement and church. The chalice symbolizes the Hussite-Protestant demand for the chalice communion, the "Communion in both kinds". The burning buildings can be interpreted as a symbol for the historical context of the Hussite Wars, the fight of the Czechs against the German upper class and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The medieval warriors - realistically depicted as aristocrats in armor and as armed peasants - form a close social community together with the women and the child. The production shows them as rebels against an establishment that remains abstract at the moment of religious inspiration.As a sign of their simplicity and closeness to nature, Lessing depicted the Hussites in the scenic ambience of a natural forest. In Lessing's time, the forest was considered a natural place of original popular belief, folk myths and superstition. As such, it was a common topo of German Romanticism. In his 1837, painting the thousand-year-old oak, this romantic-religious meaning shines through again.The picture, whose scene is structured like the stage backdrop of a living picture, portrays some of Lessing's painter friends. Thus, the horseman on the left is identified as the landscape painter Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, the history painter Theodor Hildebrandt as the warrior with helmet and lance. The warrior with the white head bandage is probably the genre painter Emil Ebers, Lessing's brother-in-law. The richly dressed man at the bottom right of the picture could be August Becker.The aspects of religious fanaticism, as well as the phenomena of zeal for reform, national passions and striving for independence, fascinated Lessing in the historical material that Lessing processed with the motif. In 1835, Lessing mentioned the work to his father as the "sermon of the Taborites", by which he can only have meant the Hussite sermon. The reference to the Taborites, who held open-air services with reference to Mount Tabor as the place of the transfiguration of the Lord, perhaps indicates that the illumination of the haze around the preacher's head, its illumination and brilliant white robe of was perceived by the followers as a transfiguration of their spiritual leader and tabor light appearance. In the design of the picture, which opens up many possible interpretations, Lessing ultimately left its exact meaning open.

Droving into the light

Prompt: Focus on Droving into the light and explain the Description.

The painting notably deviates from Heysen's well known use of water colour as an oil painting on canvas. It depicts a drover, an Australian term for a person who moves livestock over long distances, transporting sheep along a road which appears to lead down a gradual incline. The vast, sunbathed landscape presented in the background of the artwork is likely inspired by the nature of the countryside of the Adelaide Hills, an area 28 kilometres (17 mi) south east of South Australia's capital city Adelaide. Heysen resided for the majority of his life in this area in the small town of Hahndorf, thus receiving the inspiration for Droving Into the Light and his other works, most of which depict this natural landscape in some way.Essential to the composition of the artwork are the salient eucalyptus trees, which became a prominent symbol of Heysen's oeuvre throughout the course of his career. Of note in Droving Into the Light specifically is the large river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), which was an afterthought of Heysen's that intended to bring the fine elements of the work together in the later period of its composition:... I realised the weakness of the composition and repainted portions, introducing the large central Red Gum. This helped to bind the two sides and made a great improvement, materially enhancing the whole conception.
