In this class, we started talking about self-portraits. We studied the portrait of the Master of Frankfurt and his wife. He tried to play with illusion, as you can see from the flies and the shading. Everything we see in the portrait is a choice of the artist, from the clothing to the items found on the desk in front of them. In this portrait, we start learning about how the artist was able to play with space, our space, and the fictive space of the portrait. The artist is trying to fool the viewer because of the flies found in the woman’s head on the table. We talked a little about Leondardo and Durer and how they differ. Durer was interested in the scenery while Leonardo was interested in understanding the system of the scenery\/object. The north and south were competing to surpass the ancient classics and paying attention to the human and animal boy and make it as naturalistic as possible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
