Portrait of Mlle. Lange as Danae

Prompt: In Portrait of Mlle. Lange as Danae, how is the History discussed?

The artist Girodet and Miss Lange first crossed paths in the Salon of 1793. Girodet, a student of  Jacques-Louis David would gain notoriety for his submission Endymion. In 1793, Miss Lange was already a prominent actress and a sociétaire of the Comédie-Française. Her likeness as Sylvie by Jean-François Gilles Colson is in the same gallery of 1793.Six years later (1798), as a gift to her newlywed husband, Michel-Jean Simons, Madame Simons commissioned a portrait from Girodet, who painted the actress as the Roman goddess Venus. Miss Lange disliked the painting so much that in a letter written to the artist, she requested that he remove the painting from the Paris Salon and offered only half of Girodet's asking price. Further, she wrote that his work compromised not only her reputation for beauty but his own as an up-and-coming  artist.Furious, the 32-year old Girodet began work on a new painting of Mlle Lange in the guise of Danae. The painting is  deliberately encoded with hidden details about her intimate life, in an effort to defame her. On August 2, 1799,  Girodet exacted his revenge. After destroying the Venus by cutting it up into four pieces, Girodet directed the hanging of his new depiction of  Mlle. Lange as Danae in the Salon Carré., after working on it for 19 days.

Called a satyr by some scholars, the grimacing head is crowned by vine leaves in the likeness of a wigmaker named after a certain N. Leuthrop. A snail rests upon one of its leaves.  Beauregard is said to have paid a lot amount of money for half a day's worth of her time, which is symbolized with gold coin lodged into the right eye socket of the figure.The foot supporting Miss Lange's seat has been splintered, and is stabilized by a brick. A mouse, caught in a trap, is seen next to the face of the illegitimate marquis of Beauregard.

Prompt: In the context of Fontana Pretoria, explain the Relocation to Palermo and the History.

In 1573 the owner of the fountain was Luigi de Toledo (brother of the former Viceroy of Sicily García de Toledo); Luigi had fallen deep in dept, and on the verge of moving to Naples, sold the fountain to the city of Palermo. In fact, the Senate of Palermo decided to buy the building in front of the square and relocated here the city hall, called Palazzo Pretorio.On 26 May 1574 the fountain arrived in Palermo. In order to transport it, the fountain was disassembled in 644 pieces. Then, in order to make room for the fountain, several buildings were demolished. However, the fountain arrived incomplete in Palermo. Some sculptures were damaged during the transport, others were maybe kept by Luigi de Toledo (probably the statues of two Divinities preserved in the Bargello Museum of Florence and other statues placed in Naples and then in the garden of Abadia, in the Spanish city of Cáceres).Therefore, in Palermo, adjustment were made. The work was assembled by Camillo Camilliani, son of Francesco Camilliani. In 1581, Camillo completed the work with the help of Michelangelo Naccherino.Between 18th century and 19th century, the fountain was considered a sort of depiction of the corrupt municipality of Palermo. For this reason and because of the nudity of the statues, the square became known as "Piazza della Vergogna" (Square of Shame). In 1998 the restoration of the fountain started. It was completed in 2003.

In 1573 the owner of the fountain was Luigi de Toledo (brother of the former Viceroy of Sicily García de Toledo); Luigi had fallen deep in dept, and on the verge of moving to Naples, sold the fountain to the city of Palermo. In fact, the Senate of Palermo decided to buy the building in front of the square and relocated here the city hall, called Palazzo Pretorio.On 26 May 1574 the fountain arrived in Palermo. In order to transport it, the fountain was disassembled in 644 pieces. Then, in order to make room for the fountain, several buildings were demolished. However, the fountain arrived incomplete in Palermo. Some sculptures were damaged during the transport, others were maybe kept by Luigi de Toledo (probably the statues of two Divinities preserved in the Bargello Museum of Florence and other statues placed in Naples and then in the garden of Abadia, in the Spanish city of Cáceres).Therefore, in Palermo, adjustment were made. The work was assembled by Camillo Camilliani, son of Francesco Camilliani. In 1581, Camillo completed the work with the help of Michelangelo Naccherino.Between 18th century and 19th century, the fountain was considered a sort of depiction of the corrupt municipality of Palermo. For this reason and because of the nudity of the statues, the square became known as "Piazza della Vergogna" (Square of Shame). In 1998 the restoration of the fountain started. It was completed in 2003.

Prompt: Focus on Equestrian Portrait of Prince Balthasar Charles and explain the abstract.

The Equestrian Portrait of Prince Balthasar Charles is a portrait of Balthasar Charles, Prince of Asturias on horseback, painted in 1634–35 by Diego Velázquez. It is now in the Prado.Velázquez was commissioned to paint a series of equestrian portraits for the Hall of Realms, originally a wing of the Buen Retiro Palace in Madrid. This work was meant to fill the gap between two larger equestrian portraits of the prince's parents, Philip IV and Elisabeth of France.Art historian Andrew Graham Dixon describes the subject as a "little boy on this plump horse, underneath a lowering sky full of dark clouds. The child looks lost." According to Simona Di Nepi, the young prince's calm demeanor while seated on a rearing horse has a political significance, representing him as a confident horseman and a strong leader. His authority is symbolized by the baton he holds, the sword he wears, and the military sash on his chest.The peculiar thickness of the horse's abdomen may have been calculated by Velázquez to appear normal when the portrait was viewed from below, according to E. Lafuente Ferrari.The Wallace Collection also has an equestrian portrait of the prince. This is attributed to the studio of Velázquez.

Prompt: Focus on Equals Pi and explain the History.

Equals Pi was executed by Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1982, which is considered his most coveted year. The robin egg blue painting contains Basquiat's signature crown motif and a head alongside his characteristic scrawled text with phrases such as "AMORITE," "TEN YEN" and "DUNCE." The title refers to the mathematical equations incorporated on the right side of the work. The cone refers to the pointed dunce caps depicted in the work.The painting was acquired in 1982 by Anne Dayton, who was the advertising manager of Artforum magazine. She purchase it for $7,000 from Basquiat's exhibition at the Fun Gallery in the East Village. At the time the painting was called Still Pi, however, when the work appeared in the March 1983 issue of GQ magazine, it was titled Knowledge of the Cone, which is written on the top of the painting. According to reports in August 2021, the luxury jewelry brand Tiffany & Co. had recently acquired the painting privately from the Sabbadini family, for a price in the range of $15 million to $20 million. The painting, which is the brand's signature blue color, is displayed in the Tiffany & Co. Landmark store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Although initial reports claimed that the painting was never seen before, it was previously offered at auction twice and had appeared in magazines. The work was first offered at a Sotheby's sale in London in June 1990, where it went unsold. In December 1996, the Sabbadinis, a Milan-based clan behind the eponymous jewelry house, purchased it during a Sotheby's London auction for $253,000. Mother and daughter Stefania and Micól Sabbadini posed in front of the painting in their living room for a 2018 feature in W magazine.

In the campaign, Jay-Z is seen wearing his hair much like Basquiat posing in front of Equals Pi. The campaign was used to showcase the companys new art purchase as the painting features a color close to the company's signature robin egg blue. After its release the campaign was met with criticism from the artists former friends and colleagues. Stephen Torton, a former assistant of Basquiat's posted a statement on Instagram saying, "I designed and built stretchers, painted backgrounds, glued drawings down on canvas, chauffeured, traveled extensively, spoke freely about many topics and worked endless hours side by side in silence. The idea that this blue background, which I mixed and applied was in any way related to Tiffany Blue is so absurd that at first I chose not to comment. But this very perverse appropriation of the artist’s inspiration is too much."Furthermore, a curator of Basquiat's work has stated that if the use of the robins egg blue was in reference to Tiffany, it would have been intended as criticism rather than an homage or as something to be commercialized by the company.

Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe)

Prompt: Focus on Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe) and explain the abstract.

Summer Days is a 1936 oil painting by the American 20th-century artist Georgia O'Keeffe. It depicts a buck deer skull with large antlers juxtaposed with a vibrant assortment of wildflowers hovering below. The skull and flowers are suspended over a mountainous desert landscape occupying the lower part of the composition. Summer Days is among several landscape paintings featuring animal skulls and inspired by New Mexico desert O'Keeffe completed between 1934 and 1936.The juxtaposition of skull and landscape imagery in Summer Days has prompted various interpretations. While some art historians and critics see them as commonplace desert elements, others emphasize the painting's transcendental or mystical potential. O'Keeffe, who never assigned any specific symbolic meaning to her use of skeletal motifs, associated the inclusion of bones in her artwork with the raw, alive essence of the desert, and later defined Summer Days as simply a "portrayal of summertime".The work was first exhibited at Alfred Stieglitz's New York gallery space called An American Place in 1937 and remained with O'Keeffe for numerous years, later featuring on the cover of her monographic book published in 1976 by Viking Press. The Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe attempted to acquire the painting in 1980, but financial disagreements within the museum led to its return to O'Keeffe. Summer Days was eventually purchased by the American fashion designer Calvin Klein in 1983, who later donated it to the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1994. It has been described as one of O'Keeffe's most recognized paintings.

Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe)

Prompt: In Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe), how is the abstract discussed?

Summer Days is a 1936 oil painting by the American 20th-century artist Georgia O'Keeffe. It depicts a buck deer skull with large antlers juxtaposed with a vibrant assortment of wildflowers hovering below. The skull and flowers are suspended over a mountainous desert landscape occupying the lower part of the composition. Summer Days is among several landscape paintings featuring animal skulls and inspired by New Mexico desert O'Keeffe completed between 1934 and 1936.The juxtaposition of skull and landscape imagery in Summer Days has prompted various interpretations. While some art historians and critics see them as commonplace desert elements, others emphasize the painting's transcendental or mystical potential. O'Keeffe, who never assigned any specific symbolic meaning to her use of skeletal motifs, associated the inclusion of bones in her artwork with the raw, alive essence of the desert, and later defined Summer Days as simply a "portrayal of summertime".The work was first exhibited at Alfred Stieglitz's New York gallery space called An American Place in 1937 and remained with O'Keeffe for numerous years, later featuring on the cover of her monographic book published in 1976 by Viking Press. The Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe attempted to acquire the painting in 1980, but financial disagreements within the museum led to its return to O'Keeffe. Summer Days was eventually purchased by the American fashion designer Calvin Klein in 1983, who later donated it to the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1994. It has been described as one of O'Keeffe's most recognized paintings.

Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe)

Prompt: Focus on Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe) and explain the Historical context.

Georgia O'Keeffe was an American modernist painter and draftswoman whose career spanned seven decades and whose work remained largely independent of major art movements. As art historian Lisa Messinger notes, much of O'Keeffe's art was predicated on finding "essential, abstract forms in nature" usually expressed through meticulous paintings of landscapes, flowers, and bones, which were often drawn from and related to places and environments in which she lived. During the 1920s, O'Keeffe's work was actively promoted by her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, who was a prominent New York photographer and gallerist. Through Stieglitz, O'Keeffe met numerous prominent contemporary artists, including Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, Charles Demuth, and Edward J. Steichen.By 1929, her marriage had deteriorated after she found out about Stieglitz's extramarital affair with a fellow artist Dorothy Norman. That year, in part motivated by her desire to spend time away from Stieglitz, she traveled to Santa Fe for the first time. She would subsequently visit New Mexico on near annual basis from 1929 onward, often staying there several months at a time, returning to New York each winter to exhibit her work at Stieglitz's gallery. The skull motifs, inspired by animal skulls and bones collected in the New Mexico desert, began appearing in O'Keeffe's work in 1931. By the early 1930s, the news of Stieglitz's adultery had taken a significant emotional toll on O'Keeffe who suffered a nervous breakdown in 1932 and was hospitalized for psychoneurosis in New York in 1933. Since the mid-1930s, she began to spend increasingly more time around Santa Fe, particularly at Ghost Ranch, resulting in a new series of works, in which the artist combined and juxtaposed various landscapes motifs of the New Mexico desert and skeletal imagery.

Prompt: In the context of Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe), explain the Description and the Analysis.

Summer Days, which O'Keeffe completed in 1936, is divided into what art historian Sarah Whitaker Peters describes as "two uneven spaces". The top three-fourths of the painting consist of a large and naturalistic rendition of a large buck deer skull with its antlers extending toward the top edge of the canvas. Six wildflowers painted in red and yellow are seen floating against "an indeterminate mist" and a "metaphysical space".: 193  The bottom fourth of the composition is occupied by a mountainous landscape. According to Peters, the red hills shown in the composition are evocative of Mesozoic rock formations similar to the landscape environment of the Ghost Ranch.: 193  Peters further suggests that the depicted flowers include a Castilleja (known as "Indian paintbrush"), two asters, and a Helianthella quinquenervis (known as "little sunflower").: 195

Prompt: In the context of Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe), explain the Reception and the Analysis.

Summer Days was first shown in 1937 at An American Place in New York, an exhibition venue established by Stieglitz in 1929. Stieglitz is said to have disliked the painting's title, a sentiment he expressed openly to a journalist from The New York Times following the exhibition's opening, and hoped that exhibition viewers would "supply" a title of their own. The painting has been described as representing a "distinctive iconography of the American Southwest" and was among several landscape compositions featuring animal skulls O'Keeffe completed between 1934 and 1936, including Rams Head with Hollyhock (1935) and Deer's Head with Pedernal (1936).: 288 : 188  O'Keeffe's use of the skull motifs, which she introduced to her work in 1931 after bringing home bones collected from a New Mexico desert, was a subject of critical debate during the late 1930s.: 190  Some art critics interpreted the inclusion of animal skulls as mundane elements of a desert landscape while others speculated about their transcendent or mystical potential.: 190  At the same time, O'Keeffe maintained that she did not intend for these motifs to carry any specific symbolism.

She would later describe Summer Days simply as a "picture of summertime".

Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe)

Prompt: In the context of Summer Days (Georgia O'Keeffe), explain the Influences and scholarship and the Analysis.

Art historian Britta Benke argues that due to "its meditative contemplation of individual objects", Summer Days is closer to a still life composition than to a landscape painting. Author Marjorie P. Balge-Crozier suggests that there is an art historical precedent to O'Keefe's combination of still life and landscape imagery seen in Summer Days. In particular, she points to the work of the French 18th-century painters Alexandre-François Desportes and Jean-Baptiste Oudry in which the artists combined "foreground displays of food, dead game, and dogs with background views of landscape or architecture".: 64  In her analysis of O'Keeffe's 1936 composition, Balge-Crozier also discusses the relevance of the American late 19th-century "trophy paintings" of artists like William Michael Harnett and his followers. Specifically, she references Harnett's 1885 composition titled After the Hunt which includes trompe-l'œil representations of "dead game" against weapons, a horn, and other objects commonly associated with American hunting traditions.: 64  At the same time, Balge-Crozier notes that trompe-l'oeil—a tradition of painting in which the artist depicts objects with the highest degree of verisimilitude so as to deceive the viewer into thinking the painted space is real—was not well suited to evoke the emotional response O'Keeffe "hoped for in the dialogue between nature and art".: 65  Discussing possible 20th-century inspirations, art historian Sasha Nicholas notes that Summer Days demonstrates O'Keeffe's "awareness of the incongruous aesthetic juxtapositions" present in the work of contemporary Surrealist artists in the United States and Europe.: 288  The influence of Surrealism in Summer Days is also noted by scholar Henry W. Peacock who finds a parallel between the visual components of O'Keeffe's 1936 painting and the "illusionistic and diminutive positive form floating in deep space" typical of some Surrealist paintings. Predating Surrealism, Whitaker points to O'Keeffe's long-standing interest in 19th-century Symbolist art which had to do with "suggestion, allusion, and equivalence", indicating that the artist was sympathetic to the Symbolist belief in the "curative" properties of form and color.: 194  When commenting on O'Keeffe's use of flowers in the composition, a very popular subject matter in her work, Peters speculates that the largest red flower, which she identifies as an Indian paintbrush, might be a "cryptic abstract portrait" of Stieglitz. She notes that creating non-representational portraits of other artists was encouraged and practiced in Stieglitz's New York circle, to which O'Keeffe belonged.: 195  Scholar and political scientist Timothy W. Luke argues that the artist's juxtaposition of skeletal imagery from the desert and flowers against the landscape of the Cerro Pedernal mesa or Abiquiu hills in New Mexico, evident in Summer Days and other compositions from that period, "directly tap into the mass culture's utopian vision of the West" already cultivated in numerous American literary works and movies made between the 1920s and 1950s.
