Does it look better for lots of fruit to be in a bowl or just scattered on a table? What is a still life? Why is it called a still life? What things can be in a still life picture? Frans Snyders was a Flemish (Dutch) painter. In the early 17th century he created a new form of still life by combining fruit and game into a single image. Snyders's lavish still lifes with a palette of bright and direct colors have a dynamic character unmatched by other artists. The focus of this painting is an enormous wicker basket filled with red and green grapes in the center of a table covered by a red tablecloth. A couple of grape vines, their withering leaves still attached, add complexity to the arrangement. A tazza filled with luscious black figs, a Wan-Li bowl with red grapes, and dead game birds —including a brace of partridge, a splendid male pheasant, and a woodcock—surround the central basket. A row of finches, clamped between the two halves of a stick that juts out over the table's edge, adds to the colorful mix. The fruit and game birds fill the picture space and even appear to extend beyond its limits, a device Snyders often used to indicate spatial extension beyond the confines of the picture itself, thereby enhancing the viewer's sense of immediacy. He achieved international fame for his imposing still lifes, which include large market scenes, hunting pieces, and tabletops brimming with fruit and dead game. Snyders often collaborated with Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640), one of the greatest artists of the 17th century, which demonstrates the esteem with which Snyders was held in his lifetime. Snyders painted the still-life and animal elements in some of Rubens's compositions, while Rubens executed figures in some of Snyders's larger still lifes. Frans Snyder (from Art Smart Study Guide) (This info is directly from the 2019-21 UIL Art Smart Study Guide – share this in a simple way for Grade 1) Snyders was considered the best animal painter of his day. He made a new version of food still life popular by combining game birds and animals with fruits and dishes as he did here. He frequently included live animals in his still lifes to add movement and interest. He also created scenes of wild animals hunting or fighting. He was a close friend of Sir Peter Paul Rubens. The two often worked together, with Snyders painting still life features in Rubens's compositions and Rubens painting figures in Snyders's larger still lifes. Snyders pictured these dishes and foodstuffs much larger than life size, creating a suggestion of importance. Objects are shown very close to the front of the picture plane and visually pushed toward viewers by the dark background. Some of the game birds even extend beyond the edge of the table, seeming to reach out into our physical space. The ceramic bowl and stemmed metal dish behind it could not have been owned by poor people. Even the game birds carry a message of wealth, since only important land owners were allowed to hunt them. The artist's choice of objects and his way of presenting them give viewers a pleasant sense of being directly connected to good fortune and abundance. Frans Snyder (from Art Smart Study Guide) A variety of techniques add Ii veliness and visual interest to this painting of unmoving objects. Light and shadow show realistic three-dimensional form. Light reflects brightly from the smooth surfaces of the grapes, but not from the wicker basket. The contrast between the dark background and bright light falling on the fruit and game adds drama to the image. The warm red tablecloth contrasts with complementary cool greens of grapes and leaves. Compare the soft textures of feathers and leaves to the hard shine of the metal dish. Or the smooth surface of the bowl to the grapevine and leaves in it. Grapes fill the image with a rhythm of round shapes that create a feeling of energy. The rough triangle used to structure the composition gives it balance and stability.

  • The Entombment, Peter Paul Rubens
    J. Paul Getty Museum Education Department Who's Afraid of Contemporary Art? Information and Questions for Teaching The Entombment, Peter Paul Rubens The Entombment Peter Paul Rubens Flemish, about 1612 Oil on canvas 51 5/8 x 51 1/4 in. 93.PA.9 Questions for Teaching Look at each character in this painting. Pay particular attention to the pose of the bodies, the facial expressions, and hand gestures. How does the body language of each figure communicate emotion and contribute to the narrative of the story? What do the background details tell you about the story? (In this case, the background details help to locate the story: the rock walls behind the figures, and the stone slab that supports Christ’s corpse show the event is taking place inside Christ’s tomb. Rubens crops the image closely, forcing the viewer to really focus on the emotion of the characters and the violence done to the body of Christ.) What characteristics of this 17th-century painting are similar to contemporary artist Bill Viola’s video installation Emergence (see images of the work in this curriculum’s Image Bank)? What characteristics of the two artworks are different? Peter Paul Rubens made this painting for an altarpiece inside a Catholic chapel. It was intended to serve as a meditational device—to focus the viewer’s attention on the suffering of Christ and inspire devotion. Pretend that you are not familiar with the religious story depicted in the painting. What kinds of emotional responses do you have to this work of art? What visual elements of the painting make you feel this way? Which artwork do you think conveys emotions better, Bill Viola’s Emergence or Peter Paul Rubens’s The Entombment? How does the medium of the artwork—painting or video—affect your opinion? Background Information In this painting, Peter Paul Rubens depicted the moment after his Crucifixion, when Christ is placed into the tomb before his Resurrection.

  • Frans Snyders
    Frans Snyders (Antwerp 1579 - Antwerp 1657) A Buck, a Lobster on a China Plate, a Squirrel in a Basket of Fruit, Artichokes and a Boar’s Head in a Tureen, with Birds, a White Napkin and Asparagus on a Draped Table bearing a collection inventory number (lower right) oil on canvas 117 x 179 cm (46 x 70½ in) N A TABLE DRAPED WITH A SCARLET CLOTH, the imposing figure of a dead buck deer occupies the centre of the composition. Around the magnificent animal, which has been gutted ready for quartering and hanging, manifestations of plenty take the form of ooverflowing baskets of fruit and vegetables, an enormous boar’s head, a red lobster, and a string of small birds. The dark, neutral wall behind the table serves as a sober backdrop to emphasize still more the exuberant feast of colour and form inherent to this still-life. A tall basket to the left of the composition overflows with grapes, peaches and apricots, their leaves and tendrils creating a swirling pattern around it: a red squirrel balances atop the fruit, stretching towards the most inaccessible apricot with delightful illogicality. To the right, another receptacle holds, among oranges and artichokes, the gigantic severed head of a wild boar, probably hunted at the same time as the buck. On the table next to the deer’s head Frans Snyders, The Fish Market, 1620s, are bunches of asparagus, and further left a dead partridge, a woodcock, The Hermitage, St. Petersburg (Figure 1) and a string of small birds such as bullfinches. A black cat, bearing a peculiarly malevolent expression in its orange eyes, prepares to pounce Frans Snyders specialised in still-life and animal paintings, and over the stag’s neck to scavenge one of the birds.

  • Dyck, Sir Anthony Van
    Dyck, Sir Anthony van Dyck, Sir Anthony van (1599-1641). Apart from Rubens, the greatest Flemish painter of the 17th century. In 1609 he began his apprenticeship with Hendrick van Balen in his native Antwerp and he was exceptionally precocious. Although he did not become a master in the painters' guild until 1618, there is evidence that he was working independently for some years before this, even though this was forbidden by guild regulations. Probably soon after graduating he entered Rubens's workshop. Strictly speaking he should not be called Rubens's pupil, as he was an accomplished painter when he went to work for him. Nevertheless the two years he spent with Rubens were decisive and Rubens's influence upon his painting is unmistakable, although ven Dyck's style was always less energetic. In 1620 van Dyck went to London, where he spent a few months in the service of James I (1566-1625), then in 1621 to Italy, where he travelled a great deal, and toned down the Flemish robustness of his early pictures to create the refined and elegant style which remained characteristic of his work for the rest of his life. His great series of Baroque portraits of the Genoese aristocracy established the `immortal' type of nobleman, with proud mien and slender figure. The years 1628-32 were spent mainly at Antwerp. From 1632 until his death he was in England -- except for visits to the Continent -- as painter to Charles I, from whom he received a knighthood. During these years he was occupied almost entirely with portraits.

Sutton, The Age of Rubens, Boston, 1993, p. 247, no. 16. According to Ovid (Metamorphoses IV:770), the ravishing but mortal Medusa was particularly admired for her beautiful hair. After being assaulted by Neptune in Minerva’s temple, the enraged goddess transformed Medusa’s strands of hair into venomous snakes and her previously pretty face becomes so horrific that the mere sight of it turns onlookers into stone. Perseus, avoiding eye contact by looking at her reflection in his mirrored shield, decapitated Medusa in her sleep and eventually gave her head to Minerva, who wore it on her shield. Exemplifying female rage, Medusa is a misogynist projection and a fantasy of her power. When Perseus decapitates Medusa, he not only vanquishes her, but gains control over her deadly weaponry although he cannot contain the serpents disseminating evil. There are a number of relevant precedents for The Head of Medusa (Fig.

  • Image and Text: the Language of the Comic Book
    Image and Text: The Language of the Comic Book In recent years graphic novels have gained mainstream attention for their ability to tell rich, complex stories in a unique way. Books like Art Spiegelman’s Maus showcase the power of the medium to combine powerful dialogue with rich visual metaphors. Comic books are a creative way to engage students in the art of storytelling, decision making, and critical thinking. In this activity, students will be introduced to the basic language of comic books. They will explore the way comic artists use the sequential art that combines text and images to tell a story. Discussion and exercises will lead each student toward creating an original, three-panel comic strip.

His artistic training took place first at Shipley’s drawing classes and then at the newly formed Royal Academy Schools. He was a gifted draughtsman and won a number of prizes as a young man from the Society of Artists. His early work consists mainly of portraits and conversation pieces. These recall the work of Johann Zoffany (1733–1810) and Benjamin Wilson (1721–1788), under whom he is thought to have studied. John Hamilton Mortimer (1740–1779), his friend and occasional collaborator, was also a considerable influence on him in his early years. Despite some success at the outset, Wheatley’s fortunes began to suffer due to an excessively extravagant life-style and in 1779 he travelled to Ireland, mainly to escape his creditors. There he survived by painting portraits and local scenes for patrons and by 1784 was back in England. On his return his painting changed direction and he began to produce a type of painting best described as sentimental genre, whose guiding influence was the work of the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805). Wheatley’s new work in this style began to attract considerable notice and in the 1790’s he embarked upon his famous series of The Cries of London – scenes of street vendors selling their wares in the capital.
