in 1490
Even though Vitruvian Man was drawn in the late 1400's, I think it is a good piece to represent that century. Most of the art pieces I have seen are human body studies. Artists seemed very interested in the human form at that time. This piece is specifically from Leonardo while he was trying to understand the human form. I don’t know another piece that could represent it better than this one. Once people started to understand the human form, it seems that they started trying to tell stories with their work. Most notably involving Jesus in some way.

The Line of Saint Anne was painted by the artist Gerald David in the year 1500. It shows the lineage of the Virgin Mary and where she came from. The 1500’s seemed very interested in painting anything Catholic or Christian. This piece is a beautifully done family tree of the Virgin Mary's ancestors. Most pieces I’ve researched really wanted to tell her story and where Jesus came from. Painting about the beginning of a religion seemed to stay on the positive side, but later on it seemed that artists wanted to tell the darker chapters of that story as well.

The Funeral of the Virgin Mary, painted by Ludovico Carracci in 1605 was a depiction showing how people mourned her death. We have the angels above to show peace, and the distraught people down below caring for the body. It’s almost as if the angels came down to accept her into heaven as the town folk offer her up to the heavens. Many art pieces depicted death at this time and having the Virgin Mary as the centerpiece, it adds the option for more spiritual designs.]]> 2021-03-18 22:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lukelloydyoung/wciyadj3l5y7121q/wish/1327779728 Diana and Endymion lukelloydyoung https://padlet.com/lukelloydyoung/wciyadj3l5y7121q/wish/1327795290 Painted By Francesco Solimena In 1705
Diana and Endymion painted by Francesco Solimena in 1705 was of course not the first depiction of the gods in artwork, but it was the beginning of a century with numerous godly art pieces. With my research, I noticed that the 1700’s had two major themes that artists took inspiration from. The first one being the gods, (as previously mentioned) and war. It seems that in the later half of the century, people were more interested in the depictions of war. There is no doubt that the Revolutionary War was a huge factor in the creation of many art pieces. After the war, people started to make more art pieces based on political figures.

François Gérard In 1805

Napoleon I as Emperor was painted by François Gérard in 1805 under the First French Empire. It shows Napoleon at his coronation when he was named Emperor. Most artwork of the time seemed to be portraits of people of the royal bloodline, so I chose this photo as a sort of beginning to the era. It was painted early on in the century, and I'm sure this is not the last painting of Napoleon done at this time. This was a beginning for his reign, and this picture truly shows that within it.
