The art of love - 4C by Beatrice Orlandini https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m What is love to you? en-us 2021-03-15 11:44:17 UTC 2026-01-03 13:06:40 UTC hello@padlet.com Video picture --- Xhenifer 4C orlandinibeatrice https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310153896 This is an image, that I took  from a video called “A short animation about what love is”, 
This picture  shows two people cuddling each other,specifically a girl laying on the man’s shoulder while he cuddles her.
They have moved on from the early stage of love, where everything that mattered was the aesthetic, and now they are falling in love with small things and beautiful moments that a healthy relationship can give. 
I like this representation of love because it shows what true love is, that is not represented in movies when someone does a big romantic gesture or a kiss in front of a town square : love is in everything that a person does to make his/her partner happy. 
In this picture there isn't a place for bad feelings like: sadness, loss , jealousy or anything else, because it represents love like a simple thing that overcomes everything.

Today this painting is kept at the Brera Art Gallery. This painting represents two young people in love in a medieval interior who are kissing in a passionate way. The kiss is very sensual but is not very peaceful. I liked this work of art because it represents a kiss which is the simplest way to represent love between two people. I think that the simplest things are the most effective because the meaning is easy to understand for those who observe the painting!]]> 2021-03-15 11:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310170239 "The Abduction of Psyche", Bouguereau --- Luigi 4C orlandinibeatrice https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310178740 The painting that I decided to present is the “Abduction of psyches” of the painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau. From my point of view this picture represents every mistake that you can make when you fall in love with someone, due to Cupid, represented in the portrait, who accidentally falls in love with Psyche injuring himself with one of his arrows]]> 2021-03-15 11:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310178740 "Romeo and Juliet", Dicksee --- Martina 4C orlandinibeatrice https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310189496 This picture is one of the most famous paintings in the art world, and also one of the most romantic because it represents the most famous scene of Shakespeare literature, where we can see the passion between Verona’s two unfortunate people.
To me, this is one of the most romantic paintings because it gives me so much love and hope to find someone as good as Romeo who, despite all the difficulties, always tried to bring his love to Juliet. 
It makes me feel so many happy and peaceful emotions!
I would like to be able to love as much as them. 
They’re two young people who can’t be together because of some things, but they’ll do anything to make it.
It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!!

The angel, that is the man, will lead her to find the love that she is been waiting for so long.
I chose this image because it makes me understand how important it is for the angel to take the woman to her beloved one. Furthermore, it conveys the meaning of looking after each other.

The boy is very tired, he is lying on the ground on the hay  and has been traveling to London for days, the dog is his only friend and offers him love.]]> 2021-03-15 12:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310216981 "Love and Psyche", Canova --- Sara 4C orlandinibeatrice https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310223298 This is "Amore and Psiche" by Canova and it’s located at Louvre in Paris.
To me it represents the love between the couple, they are passionately in love with each other, and as a result of that  they are in perfect balance. 
This sculpture gives me the feeling of real love and trust between each other.
Amore (which would be Cupid) is identified as the lord of love and desire, and Psiche would depict the soul: Amore mystically joining Psiche gives her immortality. 
Pleasure is born from the union of soul and love.

The picture can be interpreted as the lightheartedness with which two people in public let themselves go to such effusions, or the beauty of youth. I found this image more like a liberating kiss, as if the two had not seen each other for a long time and taken by their emotions they let themselves go in a desperate kiss that puts an end to the suffering of being apart.

Cupid wanted to kidnap Psyche because his mum told him so. However, arrow’s Cupid hit him and he fell in love with her. Psyco was such a pain, but Cupid went mad for her. Their love will be surely a secret and prohibited love, but now the heart of Psyco belongs to Cupid.]]> 2021-03-15 12:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310239643 "Rainbow", Dawe --- Edoardo 4C orlandinibeatrice https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310249843 This rainbow, composed of a lot of colorful strings, is an installation made by the contemporary artist Gabriel Dawe. 
This work makes me think about different shapes - in this case different colours - that love can take. The word "Love" leads people to "Falling in love" mood, totally ignoring other important types of love like self esteem - that is expression of self love - friend's and family's affection. When I look at this work I'm amazed by the colors and the lights, as intense and saturated as being loved and loving.

In her pose, his desperation and strength belonging to the girl is highlighted. 
Love in this case is not represented by a couple but by a mother and a daughter. 
This shows that the word love does not refer only to man and woman but everything that shows affection and grace in front of a person.

They stroll on the beach and are embraced and relaxed. They wear white clothes and they convey tranquility.
To me this is true love because the man and woman are good together all the time. This picture doesn’ t show a kiss or an dull moment but a relaxed one. The man and woman are good even in normal moments and not just when they get  butterflies in their stomach. To me this is true love

The protagonists are positioned on the right side edge and this can be interpreted as the portrait of a clandestine or circumstantial moment. The two identities are not well defined, indicating the fusion between the two: the tension is doubtful, restless, marked by the indecision to abandon oneself or to be destroyed by love.This painting gives me a nostalgic feeling because it depicts a kiss that I would like to give to a girl that I cannot reach at the moment and therefore, in addition to a feeling of nostalgia, it leads me to imagine the sensations I could feel in a situation like this.]]> 2021-03-15 12:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310287871 "The Kiss", Hayez --- Andrea C. 4C orlandinibeatrice https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310304193 The work in the picture represents two young lovers who are kissing each other with passion. Due to the emotional charge that the protagonists want to demonstrate, and the refined scenography, this work of art had a great popular success, so that Hayez reproduced it in three other versions, with small changes between one and the other.
The two protagonists want to show the passion that exists between them.

Therefore, it transmits the tension and fear of loving and  expressing their feelings without any obstacles, representing these two people in "their" bubble against the whole world.]]> 2021-03-15 12:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310316239 Web picture, Unknown --- Debora 4C orlandinibeatrice https://padlet.com/orlandinibeatrice/mr7gg8htflpp1t9m/wish/1310340205 In this picture there is a soldier that is holding the girl up to reach her boyfriend. They are kissing each other while the bus is ready to go. This picture represents love and sadness because maybe they will never see each other.

However, to me loving means taking care of the person we love despite the fact that love is also made up of difficult moments, which are useful to get to know each other.
Blind love has negative aspects too, for example it doesn't allow you to see how the other person really is.
