Badia Polyptych

Prompt: Focus on Badia Polyptych and explain the History.

Earlier sources such as Lorenzo Ghiberti's  Commentarii and Giorgio Vasari's Lives agree in mentioning the presence of a polyptych by Giotto at the high altar in the Badia Fiorentina. However, the work was not documented anymore for centuries, and was considered to be lost. In the 19th century, however, it was found in the archives of the Museum of Santa Croce of Florence, and identified thanks to a cartouche on it saying  "Badia di Firenze", which was added in 1810. The dating of the work is disputed, ranging from the early 14th century to a period following Giotto's work in the Cappella degli Scrovegni.when?In 1940, during the safe hiding of various works during World War II, Ugo Procacci noticed the polyptych being carried out of the Santa Croce basilica. He reasoned that it had been removed from the Badia Fiorentina during the Napoleonic occupation and accidentally re-installed at Santa Croce. Procacci also realized that the altarpiece was too large for the site of the altar then at the Badia. He discovered that a 1628 renovation had resulted in a change of the altar's location, leading to his discovery of a hidden fresco in the Badia. The polyptych was restored in 1958, with layers of overpaint and a later top (concealing the gables) removed. After surviving the 1966 flood of the Arno, the polyptych was again restored in 2000.

Prompt: Focus on Madonna and Child with St. John the Baptist and St. Mary Magdalene and explain the Background.

Neroccio was an Italian painter and sculptor born in Siena in 1447. He was from a wealthy noble family of Siena (the Landi family). He learned his artistic skills under the tutelage of Lorenzo di Pietro, also known as Vecchietta, a famous Sienese artist (also responsible for teaching various Sienese painters).In 1468 he worked as a shop boy during the cathedral works of Siena and in 1468 he already worked independently, being commissioned by Fra Giovanni. For some time he worked with Francesco di Giorgio (painter, engineer, architect), sharing the same workshop, but this partnership was dissolved in 1474. Still, while they worked together, Neroccio was heavily influenced by di Giorgio's work. Neroccio and di Giorgio are also known to have started "a new blonde and ethereal female ideal in Sienese painting". Most of his paintings feature blond females and Madonna and Child with St. John the Baptist and St. Mary Magdalene is a good example of this.Some of Neroccio's paintings were probably made by his collaborators in his workshop. However, it is known that the Madonna and Child with St. John the Baptist and St. Mary Magdalene is a work of art done exclusively by him. Most of his artworks were intended for small and private devotion and for that reason he was very coveted in Siena during the time.

Portrait of Francisco Lezcano

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of Francisco Lezcano and explain the abstract.

Portrait of Francisco Lezcano or The "Niño de Vallecas" is the 1645 portrait by Diego Velázquez of Francisco Lezcano (died 1649), also known as Lezcanillo or el Vizcaíno, a jester at the court of Philip IV of Spain. It has been in the Prado since 1819.The mountains round Madrid can be seen in the right background, whilst the subject holds cards in his hands. The painting is part of a series of paintings of jesters at the court, and this one was possibly painted whilst the subject was accompanying the king on a hunt, since he is shown in hunting attire in the open air. It was produced for display in the Torre de la Parada (a hunting lodge on the outskirts of Madrid in the Sierra de Guadarrama near El Pardo).On 28 July 1714 it was moved to the Palacio del Pardo, before appearing in 1772 at the home of infante Javier in the new Palacio Real in Madrid. In 1794 it was in the "Pieza de Trucos" of the same palace, at which time it gained its alternative name of Niño de Vallecas.

Seer Bonnet

Prompt: Focus on Seer Bonnet and explain the abstract.

Seer Bonnets is a series of sculptures created by the American artist Angela Ellsworth. The series began in 2008 and continues into the present. The base of each piece is a pioneer-style bonnet that Ellsworth then covers in thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, of pearl corsage pins. The pearls sit on the outsides of the bonnets while the insides are crowded with the sharp ends of the pins. Each bonnet has an individual design and size, but they are all standardized in the general construction and materials used. The design includes a large brim, bonnet crown, and long ribbon-like pieces that would have been used to fasten the headpiece. Though these pieces were modeled after traditional sunbonnets, the color pallets differ. The corsage pins Ellsworth used are light and pearly, while historical pioneer women’s sunbonnets would have been made from earthier tones in order to mask wear over time.

Seer Bonnet

Prompt: Focus on Seer Bonnet and explain the Background and history.

Ellsworth was raised Mormon and is a descendant of Lorenzo Snow who was a leader of the Latter Day Saints and former president of the LDS Church. This series aims to address issues such as gender and polygamy in the context of Mormon history. The bonnets allude to the many wives of the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith. Historians disagree on how many wives he had, but current estimates range up to 49. Like Joseph Smith, Lorenzo Snow participated in polygamy. Snow had nine wives and so Ellsworth’s Initial series was comprise nine bonnets. The project grew and Ellsworth incorporated Joseph Smith’s wives into the series.Each bonnet in the series has an individual title. The early pieces created in 2008-2010 are each titled Seer Bonnet followed by a Roman numeral. These numerals correspond to the 9 wives of Lorenzo Snow. The titles of each piece within the expanded series is Seer Bonnet, a Roman numerals, and a name in parentheses. The Roman numeral correlates with the chronological order of marriages to the LDS leaders. The names that are in parentheses are of the women. Each piece corresponds to a wife and her number within the marriage. An example of a title is “Seer Bonnet XVI (Sarah Ann)”. Sarah Ann was married to Joseph Smith in July of 1842 at 17 years old. She is believed to have been the 16th wife of Joseph Smith, however, the orders and lists of wives are not consistent. Some of the pieces display the ages of the women within their descriptions.On the exterior of the bonnets, there are simple designs created with pins such as circles and lines. The Church of the Latter Day Saints refers to the "seer stone" as a prophetic tool used by Joseph Smith to receive messages and foresight from God. Ellsworth’s circular designs along with the title of her series link the bonnets to the seer stones. Historically in the Mormon faith, seer stones were used by men to receive revelations. Ellsworth gives the bonnets seer symbols of stones, connecting these tools of visions to the women. Ellsworth highlights the polygamous history of LDS and the roles of the wives while removing them from the control of the men. Ellsworth constructed the traditionally soft and malleable object of bonnets into sharp and durable sculptures, in turn recontextualizing the Mormon wives in the same way.

Prompt: Focus on Seer Bonnet and explain the Related work.

This series is part of a larger artistic endeavour by Ellsworth titled The Plural Wife Project which has been ongoing since 2008. The thesis of this project is to explore the dynamics of polygamy created within the early Mormon church and in the same breath explore modern queer dynamics of the family and relationships. Ellsworth's Mormon heritage and identity as a queer woman are used in tandem in her work. Ellsworth uses her connection to the sister-wives of Mormonism to bring these women of the past into the present and reimagine them with power over their history. Within The Plural Wife Project are the Seer Bonnet series, Soundproof performance, and the Sister-Wives performances. Soundproof was a solo performance piece based on Ellsworth’s observations of the soundproof architecture found at the Manhattan temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This performance was awarded an Art Matters Foundation Grant, an organization that assists artists who push social and aesthetic boundaries. Sister-Wives is a collection of performances from 2009 to 2014 that all focus on those unseen within the history of the Mormon church, the sister-wives. Like Ellsworth's other work, the idea of non-heteronomitivity is interweaved into the performances that are composed of dancing, photography, videography, costumes, props, music, and interpretive choreography.Ellsworth’s heritage and identity are exhibited in other works of hers, including the installation from 2011 Lady-Ties For a Line Dance. The objects that make up this series are the braids used for the Sister-Wives performances. Like Seer Bonnet, the braids represent the many wives by removing them from the people.

Joaquina Téllez-Girón, Marquise of Santa Cruz


Prompt: Focus on Portrait of the Marchioness of Santa Cruz and explain the Description.

It shows Joaquina Téllez-Girón, Marquise of Santa Cruz clad in a very light white dress, lying sideways on a red divan. Her head is decorated with yellow flowers; her left hand is balancing a lyre-guitar. Her gaze does not directly fix on the viewer but seems to look distant. Her body does not seem to sit in a natural position, but seemingly floats on the red divan and the pillows. The theme seems almost allegorical, a reference to the ancient Greek theatre. The composition of the work is similar to Antonio Canova's sculpture of Paolina Borghese as Venus Victrix. The portrait is also similar to Diego Velázquez and, to an extent, to Titian's depictions of Venus. The flowers on her head are a reference to Bacchus, while the lyre-guitar with its resemblance to the ancient lyre is a homage to art and Apollo.This painting inspired one pastiche or fantasy portrait depicted in the comedy film Mortdecai (2015), starring Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The flowers on her head are a reference to Bacchus, while the lyre-guitar with its resemblance to the ancient lyre is a homage to art and Apollo.This painting inspired one pastiche or fantasy portrait depicted in the comedy film Mortdecai (2015), starring Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Joaquina Téllez-Girón, Marchioness of Santa Cruz


Prompt: How does Portrait of the Marchioness of Santa Cruz explain its Description?

It shows Joaquina Téllez-Girón, Marquise of Santa Cruz clad in a very light white dress, lying sideways on a red divan. Her head is decorated with yellow flowers; her left hand is balancing a lyre-guitar. Her gaze does not directly fix on the viewer but seems to look distant. Her body does not seem to sit in a natural position, but seemingly floats on the red divan and the pillows. The theme seems almost allegorical, a reference to the ancient Greek theatre.

Roto Broil

Prompt: Focus on Roto Broil and explain the Details.

Roto Broil is part of a 1961 trilogy of common commercial goods (along with Electric Cord and Turkey) that are considered his first "full-fledged images". They are reduce the narrative and highlight the "purely representational and explanatory value". This begins a period in which he presents bright objects in space for perusal. It was among the pop works that  "...shocked viewers with their confrontational banality..."Drawn from advertising, Roto Broil represents Lichtenstein's talent for depicting his source material in "unified, powerful and coherent formal structures" without his audience losing its connection to the source, while physically and powerfully expressing the key elements of his art — "colour, line, form, composition and so on."  According to Modern Art: Impressionism to Post-Modernism, the appliance itself, placed symmetrically against a uniform field of red, is treated in  terms of bold simplified masses of black and white. Particularly striking is the rendering of the drainage holes in the frying-pan as black discs which take on a life of their own in the same way as they would in a completely abstract painting…The symmetry of the composition is calculatedly broken by the black lines (paradoxically indicating highlights) on the right side of the appliance and by the protruding handle of the pan on the same side.Roto Broil presents its subject in its entirety with no distracting objects, but with no supporting planar surface. Thus, "It occupies the picture-plane emblematically, centralized and head-on." The "frontal and centralized presentation"'s directness lacked the sophistication to market the images of household goods for advertising but was considered daring artistically.The featured item was produced by Leon Klinghoffers company.

Blue and Green Music

Prompt: Focus on Blue and Green Music and explain the About.

The painting uses colors with an intent to capture the variance of tones that one would find in music. O'Keeffe described music as being able to be "translated into something for the eye". This piece was made while O'Keeffe was living in New York with Alfred Stieglitz. She created many works that referenced music during this time period, saying, "I found that I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way—things that I had no words for."The painting is part of the Alfred Stieglitz collection, a gift by the artist to the museum in memory of her husband.

Portrait of a Gentleman in a Fur

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of a Gentleman in a Fur and explain the Description.

A shadowy room hinted at by a wall, fluted pillar, and window forms the backdrop to the knee-length portrait of a man richly dressed in a black cloak lined with ermine fur. He looks intently towards the viewer. He has a long beard and short, greying hair. He holds a white handkerchief in his left hand and grasps the ermine lining of the cloak with his right.The influence of Titian is evident, though Veronese managed to express his own style in the search for the individuality of the subject and, above all, through the technical mastery evident in the detailed and realistic rendering of the fur.
