Comprehensive
Statement
• In my journey of Art Appreciation, I
have discovered art’s influence
throughout history. Past artists used a
broad range of art forms to express
feelings, insights, and experiences
(Frank, 2014).
• I have come to understand that art is a
means to tell a story from the eyes or
perspective of the artist during a
particular moment in time with use of
a particular medium (Frank, 2014).
Comprehensive
Statement
• My Art Gallery focuses on the works of
Michelangelo, whose had great influence in the
cities of Florence, Rome, and Venice during the
High Renaissance. I discovered that he
demonstrated his investigative and creative
mind in his journals, documenting his research
in notes and drawings that were filled with
studies of human anatomy and ideas for
mechanical devices. His explorations placed
him at the forefront of the scientific
development of his time (Frank, 2014).
Comprehensive
Statement: Art Criticism
Theory
• From my research, I feel that Michelangelo’s
work is a great example of all of the art
criticism theories. The Formal Theory
focuses on the technical skill of the artist,
and Michelangelo’s work is virtually
flawless. His work was also important to the
times and influenced by society, working
with the Contextual Theory. His Last
Judgment painting expresses a great deal of
emotion, making it a perfect example of the
Expressive Theory.
Comprehensive
Statement: Art’s Role in
Society
• I have learned from researching that during
the Italian Renaissance Michelangelo created
many sculptural masterpieces that
expressed many Renaissance ideas. His
most renowned sculpture, David, symbolized
freedom from oppression for Florence, which
had just become a republic. Michelangelo’s
David depicted a powerful image of David.
The position of his hands and his rigorous
facial expression indicates that he is ready
for combat (Frank, 2014).
Conclusion
• This journey into art, by means of my
Art Gallery, has greatly influenced my
daily life. I have become more aware
of the artworks around me, and I even
appreciate commercials because I
know that someone had to come up
with the idea and market it!
Classical Mythology in Renaissance Art

Classical Mythology in Renaissance Art
• I chose Classical Mythology in Renaissance Art due to the fact I have
always been interested in Greek Mythology.
• I want to learn more about how the Renaissance Era portrayed the
Greek Gods.
• I am interested in why they were so interested in Greek Mythology.
Classical Mythology in Renaissance Art
• Classical Mythology in Renaissance Art started in Florence and Venice,
Italy between 1430-1576.
• Renaissance artists gave back the Gods their classical forms from
being disguised in the middle ages (Morford M & Lenardon R, 2010).
• Botticelli combined medieval allegory with Mythology in his
masterpieces (Morford M & Lenardon R, 2010).
• A great series of paintings by the Carracci brothers is in the Gallery of
the Farnese Palace, depicting the triumph of Love by means (Morford
M & Lenardon R, 2010, p. 198).

Fresco
• (Carracci, 1597)
The Triumph of Bacchus and Ariadne
Visual Elements:
• Line – The painting is separated into two parts by a diagonal line, and this is from the lower left to the upper right. Towards the left side,
Bacchus arrival is that of splendor, and it is in his golden chariot, which is a representation of him being a triumphal victor, also known as
the alpha male of the group. The right part of the painting is occupied with a drunken and also noisy procession of both satyrs and
bacchants marching towards the denser and darker landscape, which is a representation of the wild and animalistic side of life.
• Shape – The first impression is that of two triangles, and this draws the eyes to the center of the picture while giving and showing a
sequence of events. One which is the formal arrival of both Ariadne and Bacchus, while the other one is of pre-nuptial celebrations, to
further celebration involving more partying.
• Light – The type of lighting that is in use in the triumph of Bacchus and Ariadne is the accent lighting, and this is because the illumination
from the painting is very concentrated, which draws the attention of the eye to the focal point, which in other terms is the highlighted
part of the art. The highlighted light is focused on Bacchus and the partying that is seen on the other side of the painting.
• Color – The artwork is brightly colored, with several areas being a little tinted, not precisely for the aim of making the artwork brighter,
but it for a fact makes the art piece appear brighter. The center part of the section appears to be much paler than the rest of the

tone color, despite the highlights on portions of the artwork. It falls into different color hues, which can be orange, red, and yellow.

Art Criticism: Formal Theory
The Death of Actaeon (1559-1575)
• The formal theories focus is its attention on the composition of the artwork as well as the influence of the past artworks
of art. It carefully considers how the composition integrates to create a visual experience (Robinson, 2015).
• Formal theories are the best fit for this artwork because the artist used an innovative style in his work. He also uses all
the components of artwork successfully. All the components of art were unified to satisfy the meaning of the artwork.
• The formal theories do no concentrate on the theme. However, they consider the date of the artwork and what
influenced the artist to carry out the artwork. In this case, the artist was influenced by the third book of the Latin Poet
Ovids’ Metamorphosis.
• The purpose of the artwork is depicted in its structure where it shows its relationship with the formal theories. The
structure involves the composition of the artwork which is mostly considered in the formal theories. The structure of the
artwork involves the unity in the art gallery as all parts of the composition feel like they do belong together. There is the
balancing of the painting as the artist used an asymmetrical arrangement which created a dynamic feeling. The
movement of the painting is like on the objects arrangements and the positioning of the figures, the flow of the river as
well as the use of leading lines where he used the row of trees. The pattern is through the repetition of colors and
shapes as well as the contrast of the painting are very appropriate. The proportion of the artwork is very good
considering how things fit together. Finally, the artists tend to focus the viewer’s eye towards the most important thing
which is the man being attacked (Robinson, 2015)
Art Criticism: Contextual Theory
Primavera (1480-1482)
• Contextual theories consider art as the product of culture as well as the value system. Since artists belong to various
societies and cultures, they work according to the social and cultural contexts (Schechter, 2008).
• The contextual theories are the best fit for this artwork as the artist used his work to explain facts about social norms
and cultural values in his work. The focus on the environment at the period when the artwork was created which
shows that the this piece of artwork fits best for contextual theories.
• The contextual theories explain this gallery artwork by first looking at the environment that the artwork was made in
and the cultural values, economy, and politics in the same environment. The contextual theories ask the question:
What was being carried out in this culture at that time? In this case, the cultural values that influenced the artwork
were marriage, and therefore this artwork can be classified as one of the contextual theories.
• The purpose of the artwork is to appreciate the cultural values as well as social norms like love and marriage. The
purpose of the work is depicted in the structure. The artist; Botticelli worked on this gallery during the period when
mythology paintings entered Renaissance art. Botticelli used characters and objects to elaborate his meaning, for
instance, he used the person holding a bow and an arrow to show the people who try to ruin the social norms and
cultural values like breaking marriages (Schechter, 2008).
Art Criticism: Expressive Theory
Calumny of Apelles (1490’s)
• Expressive theories do pay attention to the artist’s expression of a personality or worldview. According to expressive
theories, an artwork may be a form of expression by the artist where he may focus on the different forms of artist
expression to evaluate his work (Robinson, 2015).
• Expressive theories are the best fit for this artwork because what matter is who made the artwork. The artwork is
meant to express his psychological and personal meanings.
• The expressive theories explain this gallery artwork by first looking at who made the artwork. The second thing is the
skill level that is the personal intent, gender as well as the emotional state and how it will affect the creative process.
This later brings out the personal meanings of the artist. In this case, the artist is Apelles who was a Hellenistic painter.
The personal meanings of this artwork were to show how to tend to think and behave by showing how the man thinks
and behave towards Slander and how Slan …
