Class 12 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today in class we discussed Baroque art in Flanders and Holland. The Netherlands we know now was divided. The north was protestant and the south portion was Catholic this created a strong catholic pride along the border creating a strong concentration of churches along the northern border of the southern region. Peter Paul Rubens was a distinguished artist from Antwerp at age 13 he learned to live in high society while being a page for the windowed countess. He then traveled to Rome where he learned and observed Caravaggio he was a very learned person, studying archeology, the study of coins as well as knowing 5 languages. He painted religious and non-religiously with dynamic body and spatial movement.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frans Hals paints the jolly topper and dynamic non-graded like group portraits from studies and wax figures. He would go back through after completing the complex spontaneous-looking compositions and add brush marks that looked like they were applied with a heist to create the illusion of how quickly the paint was made. He called them his writing, as this move was a signature.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rembrandt paints many self-portraits and portraits. He shows an element of self-exploration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A new idea is the specification of painters. Some would focus on one subject and perfect that to create a niche in the open art market for themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
