I think that these works of art help us see the intelegents and personality of the people that made them. They are detailed and well thought out painted compositions of animals.

Lion hunt, relief from Nineveh

Student presentation

The king is shooting the lions.which seemed to be resuved for the king.

It is a relief. Carving was not sure about the tools but assumed it about the same as ours today.

The lions have lots of movement and seem very tragic

Compared to the king and his stiff clean look. It shows how he is not scared of these mighty beasts.

Also shows how cruel and harsh these people where.

“Springtime” fresco (Landscape with birds), Frescoes from Akrotiri, Thera (Santorini), c. 1700-1500 BC

Formal

It is a painting that covers the full walls of the room

It has vivid colors of red, blue and ocher. Likely representing the volcanic soil of the island. With painted black swirls throughout.

It depicts swallows flying around blooming lilies/lotus.

Wet fresco teknik

Calligraphic lines

abstractive.

Contextual

It is the first known example of a pure landscape painting

From the reading it also says that there is “good evidence for contact between Minoan artists and Egypt.”

This coupled with that love of nature may have influenced the iconography (symbolism) of this painting with regards to the lilies/lotus.

In Egypt lilies are a symbol of the sun and a sign of rebirth. They seem to be used to communicate the time of new life in spring.

Methodology

The Minoans seem to have depictions of nature as some of their primary subjects.

This shows that they had a great love and respect for the land and ocean around them.

That could be the message of this painting. The image contains no humans or any narrative element; its purpose is to convey a feeling of spring time or their worship/respect of nature.

Early imperial period. Rome is starting to expanded into an empire. In this time they have an emperor instead of a senet.

The senet members wanted to be recognized and trusted by the people so that would have many Portraits be made of them for the people to see. Thispolatiction is showing that he is qualifide to lead by holding the portraits of his sucsesors.

This portrat shows to me that the goverment and economy where very good in this time and because of that we get to see many dipictions of what the people of that time looked like and the styles they like. Portrait of a Flavian Woman shows a very likely popular hairstyle of the upperclass woman as well as show the style of the artist. That being naturalisum.

Late Antiquity/early christian

Early convers where afraids of art turning into idol worship. They where also very new to the idea of one God so to understand it they used simbolisums from thier pagen religion to make the lessons more understandable.

Goodshepherd and Jonah, ceiling catacombs

Painting is similar to roman paintings but the subject matter is what differentiates them.

Because of this there are going to be pagan motifs that cross over

The whale is a sea monster with a dog face. This is something that we see in traditionally roman works

How they did it by…

Stucco over rock to make it smooth. Then painted over that

The pictures act as pictorial prayers

Figures are used to personify a certain people, seasons (to show time passing till it stops in the eternity.

Art of the west. They don’t have the classical tradition in their heritage. Illusionism isn’t important to them. They prefer their abstract style over the roman and greek classical style.

Migratory art aka utilatarialn, was a staple in this culture. The art was also designed to be portable and fuchtional as the people who created it always where on the move.

Romanesque. Term used to only be about the architecture but now its been appropriate for the age of this art

This is the age of pilgrimages. It lead to a build up of churches along their routes. There is a huge migration going on and that also leads to a migration and evolution of styles. The dominate theme in the art and architecture is exspiramnentation

Nicola Pisano, Pulpit from the baptistry, Pisa, 1259-60

# data[].attributes.body
Italian gothic- very conservative with this style as they like to stick with their classicism. Often called the prodo-renisaise.

I feel like the Nicola Pisano, Pulpit from the baptistry shows this. It has the arches and subject matter of the gothic style, however, there are stronger themes of classical art scattered throughout it; such as the rounded arches and natural dreapery.
