Welcome to the online theme exhibition of Art Cell, the theme of today's exhibition is the exhibition of male portraits.
Portrait of the Cardinal, 1510–1511, by Raphael
Cardinals, or "cardinals", are a position for the Catholic Pope to govern the Church, and because the traditional cardinal dress (kaftan, shawl, square hat, etc.) is "bright red", the "cardinal" is also called "cardinal".
This portrait of the Cardinal, by Raphael, is similar to the Painting of the Virgin mary, which also embodies tranquility, harmony, harmony, and a perfect and idyllic order.
Portrait of Bendo Altovetti, 1512-1515, by Raphael
The young man in the painting is named Bendo Altovetti, and he is dressed in a dark blue lotus robe, which perfectly sets off his blond hair. Bendo's appearance resembles Raphael's, and it was once thought to be Raphael's self-portrait. Looking at this painting, it is like a spring breeze and completely immersed in the enjoyment of beauty.
Joseph Lewinsky, 1895, by Gustav Klimt
The man in the painting is named Joseph Lewinsky, who works as an actor. In the border treatment of this painting, the author experimented with the use of gold, and gradually, the gold style became the main component color of Gustav Klimt's paintings and played a structurally decisive role. This color scheme design, with its vibrant and elegant decorative meaning, coupled with its unique geometric figures, forms a unique decorative symbolist painting feature.
Self-Portrait of Monet Beret, 1886, by Claude Monet
In this self-portrait of Monet, in addition to the delicate colors, perfect light and shadow and blurred contours, there is also his iconic beret and beard. Looking closely at Monet's eyes, we always feel that we can be touched by a certain look.
Portrait of Henry VIII, 1537, by Hans Holbein Jr
Henry VIII (1491–1547) was the second Tudor monarch (reigned 1509–1547), king of England and Ireland. He was the second son of King Henry VII and Queen Elizabeth. After the death of Henry VII, Henry VIII succeeded to the throne on 22 April 1509.
As the second king of the Tudor dynasty, he was also the lord of Ireland and later became the king of Ireland. Henry VIII, in order to divorce his wife and marry a new queen, opposed the Pope at that time, implemented the Reformation, passed some important bills, allowed himself to marry another, and made the Bishop of England at that time the Archbishop of the Church of England, so that the Church of England separated from the Holy See, became the supreme religious leader of England, and dissolved the monastery, so that the power of the British Royal Family reached its peak. During his reign, wales were incorporated into England.
Henry VIII died at Whitehall Palace on 28 January 1547 and was buried in St. George's Church in Windsor Castle, with his third wife, Jane Seymour. His only legitimate son, Edward VI, inherited his throne under the third Succession Act.
Merchant Georg Gisze, 1532, by Hans Holbein Jr
The painting was the work of Hans Holbein when he had just settled in England, and the German businessman In the painting was Greg Gies, the chargé d'affaires of the German Chamber of Commerce in London, a well-known figure in the British business community. Holbein met the German merchant in London and painted the portrait for Gies. In order to win the favor of the patron and get more orders, the painter exerted his outstanding talents on this portrait and carefully portrayed the objects.
Self-Portrait with An Aura and a Snake, 1889, by Gauguin
This self-portrait was completed by Gauguin in a fishing village in northwestern France. The figures in the painting have religious symbolism, "the apple and the serpent refer to the Garden of Eden, temptation, original sin, and the fall of mankind." Gauguin split the canvas in half, painting himself both like a saint and a sinner, reflecting his personal mythology as an artist. In the upper part of the picture, Gauguin has an aura like an angel, ignoring the temptation of the apple. In the lower part of the picture, he holds a snake in his hand, reflecting his duality.
Painting should not be just a record of the superficial appearance of things, as the Impressionists sought, but rather the expression of the innermost emotions of the artist and the object he depicts.
