Rachel Bingham Art History and Appreciation II – ARTG106 Heather Walker April 9, 2014 Formal Analysis of St. Francis in Prayer and A Geographer On April 3, 2014, a friend and I went to visit the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. The first painting that caught my eye was St. Francis in Prayer by Francisco de Zurbaran. It is an approximately 5’ by 4’oil painting on canvas dating back to 1638 – 1639 during the Counter-Reformation (Norton Simon).

The work is an approximate 5’ by 4’ oil painting on canvas created in the 17th century during the Baroque art movement (Norton Simon).

Haydn is one of three boys, Michael (who is also a well known composer himself), and Johann Evangelist (a tenor in the church choir of the Esterhazy Court). His father, Mathais, was a wheelwright who played the harp, and his mother Maria, was a cook for count Karl Anton Harrach.

Lucas Cranach (1472 - 1553) Lexa Ale History Honors: Hars November 19, 2013 Life of Lucas Cranach Lucas Cranach, born as Lucas Sunder on October 4, 1472 in the town of Kronach in Northern Franconia, was known as one of the most famous Renaissance artists of his time. He was one of the four children to Hans Maler, the painter. His mother’s name, however, isn’t known, only her maiden name; Hubner, was able to be found. Like other famous painters, Lucas took the name of his hometown in place of his original last name. Lucas lived his long, inspiring life as not only a painter and printmaker, but an entrepreneur and politician as well.
Settling in Collingwood (Melbourne, Victoria) he worked as a photographer's assistant through the 1870s while studying art at night under Louis Buvelot and befriending others who were to become prominent artists. He returned to England for three years of full-time art study at the Royal Academy Schools from 1881 to 1884. Through the 1880s and 1890s he worked in Victoria, at the famous studio complex of Grosvenor Chambers in Melbourne, and at a number of artists' camps and visits around the colony. He married Elizabeth Williamson in 1896, had a son, Caleb. Many of his most famous paintings come from this period.
The Entombment is a glue-size painting on linen[2] attributed to the Early Netherlandish painter Dieric Bouts. It shows a scene from the biblical entombment of Christ, and was probably completed between 1440 and 1455[3] as a wing panel for a large hinged polyptych altarpiece. The now-lost altarpiece is thought to have contained a central crucifixion scene flanked by four wing panel works half its height – two on either side – depicting scenes from the life of Christ. The smaller panels would have been paired in a format similar to Bouts' 1464–67 Altar of the Holy Sacrament. The larger work was probably commissioned for export to Italy, possibly to a Venetian patron whose identity is lost.
One of the types of art during this time was painting and sculpting. Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci were two of the most famous painter/sculptors of the Italian Renaissance. Michelangelo was born in 1475 and accomplished many of the famous works of all time before his death in 1564. Some of his works are the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and he also did many nude sculptures. Another famous painter of this time was Leonardo da Vinci.
(As well as his face tan, from the fire of welding, earning an honest living). In these first two stanzas the tones of romanticism are set by the use of a common man, such as a toiling blacksmith, compared to the toiling, straightforwardness of nature. In stanzas three and four, emphasis is put on how important his work is within the village society. The toiling blacksmith works “week in, week out,” to provide for the community, just as the toiling church bells do. Church bells have a repeating rhythm that occurs every day, regardless of the nature or tragedies that notify a community of the time.
