Martelli Annunciation

Prompt: Focus on Martelli Annunciation and explain the Visual analysis.

In this piece there are three angels with wings who have come to meet with Mary. Gabriel is in front of two other angels kneeling while they stand. He is holding a lily which is symbol of purity. The dove flying above is a symbol of holy spirit.The other two angels are looking off into the distance and not at Mary. The one closest to the audience is looking directly at us, as if acknowledging our presence. They wear woven red socks which are a similar color to their outer garments. Under this red drape they wear light grey outfits tied around their waists by a rope. Mary is wearing a darker grey garment with gold outlining and a light-colored headwear. She is looking down at Gabriel and motioning her hand toward him. She might be reaching her hand out to receive the branch from him, though he doesn't appear to be extending it out to her. There is an object to the right of her which appears to be a placeholder for books or other text.They all have golden halos above their heads with teardrop-like patterns inside. These don't seem to be floating, but rather just placed on their heads somehow, without obeying laws of gravity. Their robes are all shown with very exaggerated drapery and wrinkles, which gives this piece depth and adds movement to the figures. This is a style of painting clothing that was popular during this era of the Renaissance.The architecture painted displays a very classic Italian Renaissance style. There are two arches on either side of the subjects, and we look in through the arches to see the scene. Behind the figures there seems to be a garden of small trees and one which is almost as tall as the buildings surrounding it. This tree is positioned in line with Gabriel, who is standing directly in front of it. This may have been used to signify his importance and to make him a main subject, separating him from the other angels. The whole courtyard exhibits symmetry in the rows of trees and buildings that are on either side. The cityscape continues on in the background with churches and tall buildings poking above the skyline. The churches can be noticed by their pointed tower tops which stand taller than the other buildings.A white bird flying behind the angels is wearing a golden halo as well. It appears to be emitting golden rays from its beak towards Gabriel and Mary. By Mary's feet is a cutout in the flooring just big enough for a vase of water to fit in it. The position of this vase creates a straight vertical line with the palm of Mary's hand. This brings the viewer's attention back to Mary.The buildings and architecture have a great level of realism in this painting, but the figures' faces aren't extremely realistic. Their bodies show contrapposto, however, which makes their stance more natural.The three scenes in the predella are similar to those in the Barbadori Altarpiece, from 1438.

Martelli Annunciation

Prompt: In the context of Martelli Annunciation, explain the Carmelite influence and the Theories.

When Lippi was a member of the Order of Carmelites, it is told by Vasari that he was captured by barbarian pirates during his travels. Some did not believe this story, but when he returned to Florence, his paintings were famous. He was getting many commissions from the church and they would often lock him in dimly lit rooms to complete them. He eventually escaped, though he always owed a debt to the Carmelite Order. These feelings of having his freedom stripped by the church by locking him away may be portrayed in this paintings by having Gabriel not hand the branch, which according to Old Testament references symbolizes freedom, to Mary, despite her reaching out for it.

Female Figure (Velázquez)

Prompt: Focus on Female Figure (Velázquez) and explain the abstract.

Female Figure (or Sibyl with Tabula Rasa, Spanish: Sibila con tábula rasa) is a small, probably unfinished, 1648 oil on canvas painting by Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, the leading artist of the Spanish Golden Age.Although the identity of the woman is unknown, she is usually believed to be a sibyl, based on her similarity to the artist's 1631–32 Sibyl (Portrait of Juana Pacheco?). Both show profile views of women in half length, holding a tablet.The c. 1648 date is given based on its stylistic resemblances to the artist's Rokeby Venus. Both works share the evocative, loose and fluid brush strokes generally accepted as influenced by Velázquez's exposure to Titian during his 1629–30 and 1649–51 visits to Italy.  Female Figure is noted for its "restrained elegance, muted color harmonies, and the evocative poetry of the figure's parted lips and "lost" profile."

Female Figure (Velázquez)

Prompt: Focus on Female Figure (Velázquez) and explain the Description.

In medieval Christian tradition, sibyls became prophetesses warning the pagan Romans of the coming of Christ. Sibyls were often, as here, portrayed with tablets (or with open books), although they were usually depicted in late Renaissance and Baroque art in sumptuous robes and head-dress. In contrast, this woman has disheveled hair, with loose strands spilling on her neck and exposed upper back, and is dressed in relatively plain clothing. Against this, it has been argued that she is portrayed in an unusually spontaneous manner for the time, captured as if in the fleeting moment in which she gives her prophecy. Her skin is rendered in pearly white tones, her lips are parted as if about to speak while her finger rests on the seemingly blank tablet (tabula rasa). Art historian Simona Di Nepi, among others, has noted Velázquez's habit for employing unexceptional looking models to sit for classical subject matter and for rendering their features in a realistic, unidealised manner.A number of art historians have raised doubts as to her identification as a sibyl and instead see the woman as a personification of painting, noting the resemblance to Velázquez's Fable of Arachne. It has been suggested that Velázquez used the same model for both works, although this claim is doubted by others on the basis that Arachne's position means her face is hidden from the viewer. Other arguments against the personification of painting include the omission of either a easel or brush. Other suggestions include Clio, the muse of history, or the painter Flaminia Triunfi, whom Velázquez is known to have met in Italy.

Lady Macbeth (sculpture)

Prompt: Focus on Lady Macbeth (sculpture) and explain the History.

Ney began sculpting Lady Macbeth in 1903, shortly after she completed the design of her memorial statue of Albert Sidney Johnston.: 108, 118–119  Unlike Ney's other major contemporary works, the statue was not made in response to any commission or for any particular buyer. She developed the piece in her studio in Austin, Texas, Formosa (now the Elisabet Ney Museum), where the plaster model is still on display. The piece was cut in marble in Italy beginning in 1903, alongside second copies of Ney's portraits of Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin for submission to the National Statuary Hall Collection.: 109  Lady Macbeth was completed in 1905, two years before Ney's death; it proved to be her last major work.: 220

Lady Macbeth (sculpture)

Prompt: Focus on Lady Macbeth (sculpture) and explain the Design and interpretation.

The sculpture interprets the sleepwalking scene in act 5, scene 1 of Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is depicted sleepwalking barefoot in a flowing nightgown, her eyes half closed, with her left arm reaching across her body to clutch her right hand. Her face is uplifted and turned away from her clenched hands; her facial expression is pained, and her body is twisted by the pose of the head and arms.The piece stands out among Ney's works, most of which were portraits of living persons or historical figures; she produced few other works on fictitious or allegorical subjects.: 29  With its exploration of subjective emotion, this work also represents a shift toward romanticism and away from the neoclassical sculpture more characteristic of Ney's work generally.: 219–220 Lady Macbeth has been understood both as a portrayal of a fictional character and as a self-portrait; the figure's face resembles the artist's own, and Ney wrote in 1903 that the piece was a result and expression of her own feelings of "cruel disappointment" in life.: 17  The statue's evocation of grief has been interpreted as a reference to a frustrated romance earlier in Ney's life (perhaps with King Ludwig II of Bavaria), or to her participation in political intrigues in 1860s Germany,: 212  as well as to her estrangement from her son.

Penitent Magdalene (Titian, 1550)

Prompt: Focus on Penitent Magdalene (Titian, 1550) and explain the Variants.

The painting's history is confused by the existence of several copies and variants - it and Danaë are the commonest subjects in Titian's oeuvre. Vasari's Lives of the Artists mentions several copies of the Penitent Magdalene,  the oldest of them (the only pre-Tridentine of the four) was then in the 'guardaroba' of the Duke of Urbino and later came to Florence as part of Vittoria Della Rovere's dowry in 1631. Another version was acquired by a Venetian nobleman for 100 ducats, forcing Titian quickly to produce a third variant in 1561 to meet a commission from Philip II of Spain - this showed the saint clothed and later passed to a British collection, where it was destroyed by fire, though a copy by Luca Giordano survives in the Escorial.The third variant in particular was such as success that a fourth one was made in 1567 - this was delivered to cardinal Alessandro Farnese the Younger, who was supposed to then pass it to Pope Pius V. A 19th century critic identified the version now in Naples as being the 1567 work, but it is now thought to be the one sent to Cardinal Alessandro Farnese in or around 1547.

Prompt: Focus on Penitent Magdalene (Titian, 1550) and explain the History.

The 1644 and 1653 inventories of the Palazzo Farnese in Rome mention the work in place and attributes it to Titian. It was then moved to Parma, where it was recorded in 1680 at the Palazzo del Giardino and then in the Palazzo della Pilotta, both Farnese residences. Whilst there it was mentioned in Descrizione, a description of the 100 most prestigious works in Parma, published by Richardson in 1725.In 1734 it and the rest of the Farnese Collection were moved to Naples straight after being inherited by the family's last heir Elisabetta then by her son Charles. Until 1765 the work was recorded as sited in the Reggia di Capodimonte and in 1767 it was moved to the rooms in the Palazzo Reale in Naples before returning to the Reggia in 1783. When the Parthenopean Republic was declared in 1799 French troops looted the Magdalene as one of around 300 paintings with Farnese provenance from the Capodimonte (it then solely housed works from that collection). In 1800 Ferdinand IV ordered emissary Domenico Venuti to get back all the works thus taken from Naples - he managed to find the Magdalene as well as Titian's Portrait of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. The former was found in storage at the church of San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome along with all the other works France looted in Italy by France, where they were awaiting being taken to Paris.It was temporarily hung in Naples' palazzo Francavilla until Ferdinand had to flee to Palermo when France established the Kingdom of Naples in 1806, upon which he took with him Titian's Magdalene, Portrait of Pope Paul III, Pope Paul III and His Grandsons and Danae to keep them out of enemy hands. When the Bourbons were restored in 1815 the canvas returned to the Capodimonte.

Statue of Almanzor, Algeciras

Prompt: Focus on Statue of Almanzor, Algeciras and explain the History.

The statue was erected in Algeciras, Andalusia, Spain in 2002. Designed by Mariano Roldán, it was installed in ancient ruins on the one-thousandth anniversary of the death of Almanzor, a military leader of Islamic Spain and seen as one of the greatest leaders of Al-Andalus. It was originally located in the Marinid Walls of Algeciras before being removed for restoration.In August 2013, the Algeciras City Hall, governed by People's Party, removed the statue in order to repair its patina and complete other restorations. The local Deputy for Culture, Pilar Pintor, said that it would be removed to a more historically relevant location after the original location, once thought to be archeological remains of an Islamic site, was re-assessed as Christian ruins. An ancient kiln, discovered in these ruins several years prior, was to be placed at the statue's original site, with the local council explaining that it signified the importance of ceramics in Algeciras' history.In November 2016, with no update on the restoration of the statue, the matter was brought up in the City Hall by Leonor Rodríguez, a council member from the left-wing party Podemos. She accused the local government of hiding history. The following June, the statue was found covered in a sheet in a warehouse; Socialist Workers' Party councillor Fran Fernández accused the PP of not looking after local heritage.As of August 2020, the statue is still not on public display.

Portrait of Charles V with a Dog

Prompt: Focus on Portrait of Charles V with a Dog and explain the Description.

It is a copy or reinterpretation of a portrait of the Emperor painted in 1532 by Jakob Seisenegger. That portrait was natural but had not pleased its subject and so during his stay in Bologna in 1533 (when Titian also happened to be there) Charles paid Titian 500 ducats to paint a new version of it.This new version is similar to its predecessor but completely transforms its composition, stylising Charles' body by increasing the size of the fur wrap, decreasing the size of the doublet, raising the position of the eyes and lowering the horizon to make Charles fill the space. He is also shown approaching the viewer and the space around him has been emptied and simplified, with warmer colours than in the original. It later inspired Goya's 1799 Charles IV in his Hunting Clothes.

Prompt: Focus on Equestrian Portrait of Cornelis and Michiel Pompe van Meerdervoort with Their Tutor and Coachman and explain the abstract.

Equestrian Portrait of Cornelis and Michiel Pompe van Meerdervoort with Their Tutor and Coachman, also known as Starting for the Hunt, is an oil-on-canvas painting executed ca. 1652–53 by Aelbert Cuyp, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.Cuyp mainly painted landscapes, but these often included anonymous riders in compositions similar to this.  By contrast, few of his paintings are portraits.  This portrait is an early example of an equestrian portrait of someone who was not a member of court; previously, equestrian portraits had been restricted to only the high nobility and royalty, but in this period in the Netherlands, this was changing, and Cuyp and his father, Jacob Gerritszoon Cuyp, led this change, with the encouragement of Cornelis van Beveren.The painting shows two young men, brothers Cornelis Pompe van Meerdervoort (left) and Michiel Pompe van Meerdervoort, with their tutor, Caulier, their coachman, Willem, and dogs. In the background of the image, there is a ruined castle, likely intended to indicate the ancient lineage of those pictured. The castle does not look like the Huis te Meerdervoort, the family home of the Pompe van Meerdervoort, located across the Oude Maas from Dordrecht and to the south of Zwijndrecht. The castle was originally painted in the left middleground, before it was repainted on the right. In the left of the background, sailboats can be seen on the river Rhine and the churches and associated buildings of Hoog-Elten, Rindern, and Laag-Elten.

Cuyp's ''Horsemen Resting in a Landscape''; they also wear fancy Eastern European costumes. Late 1650s.


Prompt: Focus on Equestrian Portrait of Cornelis and Michiel Pompe van Meerdervoort with Their Tutor and Coachman and explain the Details.

The background is believed to have been sourced from Cuyp's Drawing of Rhine near Elten. Despite this background, there is no known connection between the Pompe van Meerdervoort family and that region. However, a 1994 guide to the Met notes that the landscape near Elten is similar to that of Dordrecht.The dogs are believed to be greyhounds and foxhounds, while the animal on the left of the painting is thought to be a hare. The clothing worn by those pictured would not have been common in the Netherlands and has been described as both Hungarian and Persian. The two boys and their riding instructor are wearing tight-fitting coats, known as dolmans, while the coachman is wearing a looser and heavier coat, known as a mente. The cap worn by Cornelis is similar to a Turkish turban. It has been observed that the heads of the figures are awkwardly painted and this had been attributed to Cuyp's primary focus on landscape painting. The hand gesture of Caulier was originally simply a direction, but would later have been viewed as an indication of who would quickly become the sole heir of the close family.
