This lecture was especially interesting because of our conversation of gender portrayal in which we learned about the importance of jewelry as a means of showing status. This was exemplified in Titian, Eleonora Gonzaga. 1536-38. Oil on canvas, 44.8 x 40.5 in. (114 x 103 cm). Florence: Uffizi with her own jewelry and expensive clothing/lace. We also talked a lot about Mona Lisa and Leonardo’s choice in following a trend in which the sitter is placed at 3/4. Lots of conscious decisions went into this work including the placement of object and the sitter to present a centered scene. As a result, a relationship between the sitter and the environment is created.
