BAROQUE ART 🎭 love, ur local art mom 🩵

disclaimers and more information under the cut ✂️

hi I’m annemarie and I’m an art historian! not adjuncting for the first time in five years was rly hard for me so I threw some slides together so I could still (sort of) teach the same material as my language of art class but a) I threw these slides together for instagram so space was/is limited and b) language of art is a ten week run through art history so I’m presenting only the most accessible information here – there’s so much more to this art period and to this artist! – please don’t expect it to be comprehensive and please do ask if you have any questions!

oh p.s. my first ever class of art history students came up with the name ‘art mom’ for me at the end of the quarter and yes it does make me cry if I think about it too long thanks so much for asking

The Assumption of Mary in Art

Much of our religious consciousness is affected by art; we have inherited specific images that are more artistic than biblical.  For example, we always imagine St. Paul being knocked from a horse on the Damascus Road.  There is no mention of the horse in scripture.  Is that a bid deal? Perhaps not.  But when Caravaggio placed Paul on the horse, a sign of privilege or royalty, he removed Paul from…

With Annibale and Ludovico, Agostino Carracci (August 16, 1557 – March 22, 1602) formed the famous trio of painters and printmakers who graced 16th century art in Italy. The Carraccis used to work together in almost all of their painting and architectural projects. It is not only difficult but somewhat irrelevant to identify one’s work from the other two considering their collaborative approach.

Agostino Carracci was one of the founders of the Accademia degli Incamminati who helped shape the careers of many a School of Bologna painter. A trained architect, Agostino undertook the decoration of churches and palaces like the Gallery in Palazzo Farnese. He travelled to Venice and Parma, mostly with Annibale, to complete some of the most elaborate Bolognese frescoes.

Agostino’s son Antonio Carracci, himself a noted painter, took over the responsibility of completing his father’s academy. Perhaps the greatest ode to Agostino Carracci was paid by none other than Henri Matisse when he created his painting Le bonheur de vivre based on an engraving done by Agostino Carracci. Ironically, Aogostino’s inspiration for this etching came from a painting of Paolo Fiammingo, titled, Love in the Golden Age.

Romans predicted: only he who has a tinfoil hat and the Fat Cat will triumph at the Mayan End of the World Day. You can see masterpieces (without restoration) which reveal ingenious prediction by renowned artists at Palazzo Farnese, Rome.
