The Skater

Prompt: How does The Skater explain its Description?

With his arms crossed and his head slightly lowered as he skates from right to left, Grant dominates the canvas. The dramatic impression is enhanced by a low point of view, much in the fashion of Baroque portraiture in the Grand Manner. But for his folded arms, Grant's pose derives from the Apollo Belvedere, a cast of which was present in West's studio. The black tones of a full-skirted coat, elegant smallclothes and shoes are relieved by a white cravat and cuff, a gray fur lapel, a glimpse of tan glove, and silver buckles on the hat, breeches, and shoes; the stylishly tilted hat belonged to the artist. Behind Grant is a winter landscape of restrained tones composed of distant skaters, trees, and a far-off London skyline that includes Westminster Abbey. Grant's figure divides the canvas into contrasting halves: to the right the coat's silhouette undulates gently, and a large bare tree anchors the composition, while the left side, opening onto the gestures of skaters in motion, is activated by the shape of his protruding elbow and the jagged contour of coat. Beyond the large tree the recession of the distant treeline creates a movement from right to left which is echoed by the disposition of the secondary figures. The overall handling evidences a lightness of touch and a success in integrating figure and landscape that suggests the open-air portraits of Thomas Gainsborough.

The Skater

Prompt: Focus on The Skater and explain the Reception.

At the Royal Academy exhibition of 1782 the painting was immediately recognized for its originality. Connoisseur John Collum wrote "One would have thought that almost every attitude of a single figure had long been exhausted in this land of portrait painting, but one is now exhibited which I recollect not before—it is that of skating". The Duke of Rutland supposedly went directly from the exhibition to meet with Joshua Reynolds, beseeching him to see the painting. On the strength of The Skater Stuart's reputation gained parity with those of Gainsborough and Reynolds, and prominent commissions followed. Stuart's apprenticeship with West ended, and he moved his studio from a room in the senior artist's house to an independent space on Newman Street. Stuart later said that he had been "suddenly lifted into fame by a single picture." It had appeared again in an exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1878. The painting passed by descent in the sitter's family until 1950, when it was sold to the National Gallery of Art, Washington.The Skater may have influenced Henry Raeburn's later painting, The Skating Minister, considered a masterpiece of Scottish art.

Nicodemus Visiting Christ

Prompt: Focus on Nicodemus Visiting Christ and explain the Religious paintings.

Nicodemus Visiting Jesus was inspired by the Gospel of John, 3:1-21.There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.Nicodemus became a convert after the evening's conversation.The painting was among a lifetime of work illustrating biblical stories. The story was important to Tanner's father, Benjamin Tucker Tanner, who considered it "biblical precedent for the worship habits of African-American slaves" in their practice of worshiping at night.Tanner's father, an African Methodist Episcopal Church Bishop, had wanted Tanner to follow him into the ministry. In becoming an artist, Tanner disappointed his father's dream; however his brush created paintings of which his father could approve.By 1908, when Tanner held his "first major solo exhibition" in the United States (the first after having become famous), he was known for his religious artwork. The exhibition featured a long list of religious subjects, 33 paintings including: Abraham’s Oak, Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh, Christ and Nicodemus, Christ at the Home of Mary and Martha, Christ on the Road to Bethany, Christ Washing the Disciples’ Feet, Daniel in the Lions’ Den, Death of Judas, The Disciples See Christ Walking on the Water, Escape of Paul, Flight into Egypt, The Good Shepherd, He Vanished Out of Their Sight, Head of Old Jew, Hebron, The Hiding of Moses, Hills near Jerusalem, Jerusalem Types (4 under this name), Judas Covenanting with the High Priests, Mary, Mary Pondered All These Things in Her Heart, Moonlight—Hebron, Moses and the Burning Bush, Nicodemus, Night (After the Denial by Peter), Night of the Nativity, On the Road to Emmaus, Return of the Holy Women, Two Disciples at the Tomb, The Wise Men.Missing from the exhibition were famous works whose museums would not release them: The Annunciation, The Resurrection of Lazarus and The Pilgrims of Emmaus.

Nicodemus Visiting Christ

Prompt: In Nicodemus Visiting Christ, how is the Religious paintings discussed?

Nicodemus Visiting Jesus was inspired by the Gospel of John, 3:1-21.There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.Nicodemus became a convert after the evening's conversation.The painting was among a lifetime of work illustrating biblical stories. The story was important to Tanner's father, Benjamin Tucker Tanner, who considered it "biblical precedent for the worship habits of African-American slaves" in their practice of worshiping at night.Tanner's father, an African Methodist Episcopal Church Bishop, had wanted Tanner to follow him into the ministry. In becoming an artist, Tanner disappointed his father's dream; however his brush created paintings of which his father could approve.By 1908, when Tanner held his "first major solo exhibition" in the United States (the first after having become famous), he was known for his religious artwork. The exhibition featured a long list of religious subjects, 33 paintings including: Abraham’s Oak, Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh, Christ and Nicodemus, Christ at the Home of Mary and Martha, Christ on the Road to Bethany, Christ Washing the Disciples’ Feet, Daniel in the Lions’ Den, Death of Judas, The Disciples See Christ Walking on the Water, Escape of Paul, Flight into Egypt, The Good Shepherd, He Vanished Out of Their Sight, Head of Old Jew, Hebron, The Hiding of Moses, Hills near Jerusalem, Jerusalem Types (4 under this name), Judas Covenanting with the High Priests, Mary, Mary Pondered All These Things in Her Heart, Moonlight—Hebron, Moses and the Burning Bush, Nicodemus, Night (After the Denial by Peter), Night of the Nativity, On the Road to Emmaus, Return of the Holy Women, Two Disciples at the Tomb, The Wise Men.Missing from the exhibition were famous works whose museums would not release them: The Annunciation, The Resurrection of Lazarus and The Pilgrims of Emmaus.

Nicodemus Visiting Christ

Prompt: Focus on Nicodemus Visiting Christ and explain the Evening light.

A newspaper commented in 1909 that Tanner found the daylight in the Middle East harsh and chose to paint at night. Helen Cole, writing for Brush and Pencil commented on the choice of lighting at night, calling it a "moonlight scene, only the two figures, enveloped in a cold blue light...the effect of night and remoteness and loneliness was exceedingly well rendered."Tanner lit the Nicodemus Visiting Christ with multiple sources of light. The sky is lit with twilight (in which the Sun's rays come from below the horizon and are filtered through the atmosphere, casting blueish light). Moonlight is present, casting distinct shadows and warmer green-yellow light on the rooftop, distant buildings and trees. Orange light as from a candle or fire is reflected on the stairs from below, lighting the face of Christ.Tanner used light to indicate holiness. In paintings such as the Holy Family, Tanner used light from elsewhere to illuminate the veil of Mary, making it glow in darkness, the baby Jesus also in light. In Invitation to Christ to Enter by his Disciples at Emmaus, the light centers on Christ as if emitting from him.In this Nicodemus Visiting Jesus, light also indicates holiness. The study painting for this showed Christ silhouetted by the Moon, creating a halo. In the final painting, the effect was more subtle, the moonlight reflecting on the cloth over Christ's head and glowing on his chest, the firelight lighting his face. And Tanner shows Nicodemus having approached Jesus, who is lit with ambient light to imply holiness.And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Nicodemus Visiting Christ

Prompt: Focus on Nicodemus Visiting Christ and explain the Multiculturalism.

See Race and appearance of Jesus, Depiction of JesusEuropean and American artwork in the 19th and 20th centuries tended to show Jesus as a white man, often glowing white, and Jewish people as having European features. Similarly, there was and is a movement promoting a colored or non-white Jesus.Rather than focus on race when painting Jesus, Tanner created a "comopolitan" Christ, a "universal" figure meant to be viewed religiously rather than in a racial sense. Further, Tanner wanted his paintings to be viewed without consideration of the artist's race. Tanner chose to portray experiences common to everyone, a quiet evening conversation and a teaching moment, a common focus to bring people together with "religious language" that they had in common. He chose to paint ordinary human experiences, places, and relationships to "connect rather than to divide viewers."  He found that in France this was possible, while in America, newspaper reviewers tended to focus on his race instead of on his art.The tendency to consider Tanner's artwork in terms of race hasn't ended; race is one of the elements looked at in the United States when considering artwork. Who made the painting, and did they have a message (even unintentionally) about race? Because of this history, those studying his Tanner's art in the United States have commented on Tanner's depiction of race in the image and how the shadows and "conflicting light sources" in the image "look deliberately calculated by the artist to obfuscate the figure's (Christ's) appearance." Similarly it has been noticed that in Flight into Egypt (1899), Tanner painted people who were rendered indistinctly in twilight, so that it was difficult to pin them down as being from a particular race or ethnic group; people could imagine their own in the painting.Tanner had an eye for details of race and ethnicity which he applied to observing people in the Middle East. Tanner (like other Orientalists) catalogued the way people in the Middle East looked, the varieties of racial and ethnicities and painted with these. The painting Nicodemus Before Christ shows results of observations. He made study paintings throughout his trips, including one used for this artwork; the Nicodemus in this painting is thought to be based on Head of a Jew in Palestine, a study painting which Tanner would keep and rework throughout his lifetime. Tanner depicted Jesus more ambiguously than was standard for an American; even though symbolically lit to show holiness, Tanner's Jesus could be seen as Semitic or of mixed race, or he could be seen as maybe white.

Nicodemus Visiting Christ

Prompt: How does Nicodemus Visiting Christ explain its Multiculturalism?

See Race and appearance of Jesus, Depiction of JesusEuropean and American artwork in the 19th and 20th centuries tended to show Jesus as a white man, often glowing white, and Jewish people as having European features. Similarly, there was and is a movement promoting a colored or non-white Jesus.Rather than focus on race when painting Jesus, Tanner created a "comopolitan" Christ, a "universal" figure meant to be viewed religiously rather than in a racial sense. Further, Tanner wanted his paintings to be viewed without consideration of the artist's race. Tanner chose to portray experiences common to everyone, a quiet evening conversation and a teaching moment, a common focus to bring people together with "religious language" that they had in common. He chose to paint ordinary human experiences, places, and relationships to "connect rather than to divide viewers."  He found that in France this was possible, while in America, newspaper reviewers tended to focus on his race instead of on his art.The tendency to consider Tanner's artwork in terms of race hasn't ended; race is one of the elements looked at in the United States when considering artwork. Who made the painting, and did they have a message (even unintentionally) about race? Because of this history, those studying his Tanner's art in the United States have commented on Tanner's depiction of race in the image and how the shadows and "conflicting light sources" in the image "look deliberately calculated by the artist to obfuscate the figure's (Christ's) appearance." Similarly it has been noticed that in Flight into Egypt (1899), Tanner painted people who were rendered indistinctly in twilight, so that it was difficult to pin them down as being from a particular race or ethnic group; people could imagine their own in the painting.Tanner had an eye for details of race and ethnicity which he applied to observing people in the Middle East. Tanner (like other Orientalists) catalogued the way people in the Middle East looked, the varieties of racial and ethnicities and painted with these. The painting Nicodemus Before Christ shows results of observations. He made study paintings throughout his trips, including one used for this artwork; the Nicodemus in this painting is thought to be based on Head of a Jew in Palestine, a study painting which Tanner would keep and rework throughout his lifetime. Tanner depicted Jesus more ambiguously than was standard for an American; even though symbolically lit to show holiness, Tanner's Jesus could be seen as Semitic or of mixed race, or he could be seen as maybe white.

The Man of Sorrows (Botticelli)

Prompt: Focus on The Man of Sorrows (Botticelli) and explain the abstract.

The Man of Sorrows is a tempera and oil on panel painting of Jesus Christ by the Florentine artist Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510), thought to have been painted sometime between 1500 and 1510.The work depicts Jesus in a crown of thorns with his hands and wrists bound by rope. Behind him is a cross symbolizing his crucifixion, as well as was typical in a "Man of Sorrows" painting, a group of angels holding some of the other implements of the Arma Christi or "Instruments of the Passion" which were employed by Jesus to defeat Satan, i.e. the ladder used to take him down from the cross, the Spear of Longinus, which was used to pierce his side during his execution, the pillar to which he was bound while being whipped, the nails used to fasten him to the cross, the pincers utilized to extract the nails from the savior, and the sponge the Roman soldiers dipped in vinegar and offered him prior to his perishing.The painting has been in private collections since the 19th century, when it was owned by the renowned opera singer Adelaide Kemble. Her descendant Pamela Margaret Stanley (later Lady Cunynghame of Milncraig) sold it at auction as by the workshop of Botticelli for £10,000 in 1963.The painting is from the artist's post-1492 period when he was greatly influenced by the Dominican friar and theocratic dictator of Florence, Girolamo Savonarola.In 2009 it was reattributed to the master and in 2010 it was shown as part of the exhibition Botticelli: Likeness, Myth, Devotion at the Stadel Museum, in Frankfurt, Germany.During analysis by Sotheby's, a drawing in preparation for a "Madonna and Child" painting was discovered underneath the finished painting on panel and as Botticelli went on to rotate the canvas to create the new work the abandoned work was left upside down.On January 27, 2022, Man of Sorrows sold for $45.4 million US (with fees) at Sotheby's in New York City, just short of a year after another of the artist's works, Portrait of a Young Man Holding a Roundel, sold for $92.2 million US and set a record for the price paid for a work by the artist.

Eight Views of Ōmi

Prompt: Focus on Eight Views of Ōmi and explain the abstract.

The Eight Views of Ōmi (in Japanese: 近江八景 or Ōmi hakkei) are traditional scenic views of Ōmi Province  which is now Shiga Prefecture in Japan.They were inspired by the Eight Views of Xiaoxiang in China which were first painted in the 11th century and then brought to Japan as a popular theme in the 14–15th centuries. The theme was then used to describe Ōmi province in poetry by Prince Konoe Masaie and his son, Prince Hisamichi, in the 15–16th centuries.  The Eight Views of Ōmi then became a popular subject for artists such as Suzuki Harunobu and Utagawa Hiroshige.  The theme continued to develop, being transposed to other locations and settings in a process which the Japanese called mitate,  such as in Harunobu's Zashiki Hakkei series.The sights were depicted by Hiroshige in several different series of ukiyo-e pictures, as well as other artists.They are sometimes erroneously called "Eight Views of Lake Biwa", but the latter were defined to include different locations in 1949 by the government of Shiga Prefecture. The eight themes remain unchanged from the Chinese series: Returning sails, descending geese, autumn moon, evening bells, evening glow, evening snow, evening rain, and clearing weather.

Eight Views of Ōmi

Prompt: Focus on Eight Views of Ōmi and explain the The Eight Views.

All views are situated at the southern end of Lake Biwa. There is no fixed order. The following list circles the lake, beginning on the east side.Returning sails at Yabase (Yabase no kihan 矢橋帰帆). Yabase is an old harbor on the east side of the lake. Near the Tōkaidō, it was used as a shortcut to Ōtsu by boat. In the early Meiji era steamers appeared, until the railway began its service.Evening glow at Seta (Seta no sekishō 瀬田夕照) – The Chinese Bridge at Seta. The long bridge across the Seta River was used by the Tōkaidō. Nowadays is there a bridge in the old Chinese style, a concrete construction, but nice to walk over. (Road traffic uses a new bridges to the north). In the background is the "Fuji of Ōmi" Mount Mikami. It is just above 400 meters tall, but indeed well visible.Autumn moon at Ishiyama (Ishiyama no shūgetsu 石山秋月) – Ishiyama Temple. The Ishiyama-dera was located on a hillside next to the Seta River. It got his name from the strange rocks on which it is built, partly on supporting beams. A hut at the upper end of the site allows a view of the lake and of the moon.Clear breeze at Awazu (Awazu no seiran 粟津晴嵐) – Awazuhara. Awazu is well known for its pine wood, Awazu-ga-hara. In some pictures the Zeze Castle can be seen. It was dismantled in the Meiji era.Evening bell at Miidera (Mii no banshō 三井晩鐘) – Mii-dera. Miidera temple was built in the 8th century. Its bell is one of the "Three bells of Japan", the other two being those at Byōdō-in, Uji and at Jingo-ji, Kyoto.Evening rain at Karasaki (Karasaki no yau 唐崎夜雨) – Karasaki Shrine. Karasaki is a small cape with a single large pine tree, a hitsu-matsu. The pine has been replaced several times since Hiroshige's era.Wild geese returning home at Katata (Katata no rakugan 堅田落雁) – Ukimido. Alighting geese cannot be seen always, however the little temple near Katata in the square hōkyō-style, detached from the lakeside, connected by a bridge. The first part of the name uki is the same as in Ukiyo-e, meaning floating. Midō means temple.Evening snow at Hira (Hira no bosetsu 比良暮雪) – Hira Mountains. The Hira Mountains on the west side of the lake experience the hard winter, when the winter monsoon brings much snow from the continent.
