Nude Venus of Cythera
Apr 11th, 2023 by Aldouspi

This lovely painting of the Roman goddess Venus is by Jan Massys, a Flemish Renaissance painter (1509 to 1575). Born in Antwerp, Belgium, into a family of artists, his father, Quentin Massys, a prominent painter was his first art teacher.

Jan Massys is known for his portraits and religious scenes, done in a style heavily influenced by Italian Renaissance artists such as Raphael and Michelangelo. This classical portrait of Venus, shows the goddess in a reposed position. In the background is a Fountain of Love.

This painting is a prime example of why Massys’ legacy lives on through his works, due to his technical skills, artistic vision and attention to detail.

Five Prostitutes by Pablo Picasso
Mar 15th, 2023 by Aldouspi

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” – Pablo Picasso.

This post features a very famous piece of art: “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” (“The Young Ladies of Avignon”) which was created by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso in 1907. It is considered one of the most important works of art of the 20th century.

The painting depicts five nude female prostitutes from a brothel in Barcelona. The figures are depicted in a fragmented and angular style, which was a departure from the traditional forms of painting at the time. The painting is notable for its use of sharp, jagged lines and the use of a limited color palette, which added to its sense of intensity and rawness.

The painting was met with shock and confusion when it was first exhibited in Paris in 1916. But soon it became recognized as a seminal work in the development of modern art. It is considered a key example of the Cubist movement, which Picasso co-founded with Georges Braque.

The original painting now hangs in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The masterpiece is considered one of the museum’s most prized possessions.
