The Arts; Drawing

Title: The Arts Drawing

Artist: Gaspare Traversi

Date: 1755

Movement: Italian Rococo

Medium: Oil on canvas

Genre: Genre painting

To continue from the extersize yesterday in how paintings lead their viewers visually through out the painting, let’s take a look here.

The painting naturally leads our eyes in a circular motion back to the woman in the center with a pink dress. We naturally start with her as she is contrasted with her bright pastel dress and skin tones against the dark vibrant background. From there we follow her gaze to the man sitting across from her, and then we go to the man in red, who’s robe leads us down to the floor where we follow the dog and the light line to the man and the child, back again to the woman in the dress.

Self Portrait of Angelica Kauffmann

Title: Self-Portrait

Artist: Engelica Kauffmann

Date: 1780-1785

Movement: Italian Rococo

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Genre: Self Portrait

Around the 1780s, The rococo started shifting to what art historians call Neo-classic. Unfortunately the truth of history is that every era is more of a loose gradual shift and trying to make rigid rules of when something began and ended is pointless. While some art historians would call this painting Neo classic because of the time frame it came out, I choose to argue that the color, style, and shape keeps it as a Rococo piece.

The Baroque introduced a brand new idea that people had never thought of, women painters!

While there were always women in every movement making beautiful art that out lived them, The Baroque was when women started being established as part of the movement, some of them even being corner stones that progressed the movement forward.

Engelica Kauffmann was arguably one such artist in the late Rococo early romantic era. Due to her traveling around, she was familiar with more than her national style of painting. She was even able to produce history paintings, the highest level of painting an artist was able to achieve in her time.

As there were many roadblocks for women to become painters in her day, the fact she had been able to create such works was unbelievable for her time.
