Who else feels like in an Edward Hopper painting right now? . . . #covid_19 #lockdown #quarantine #londonlockdown #londonquarantine #quarantinelife #quarantinememes #ukquarantine #hopper #edwardhopper #contemporaryart #art
Are you missing the outer spaces or are you still enjoying the parks? Did you know that in Ancient Rome people liked to decorate their houses painting the walls with garden and landscape scenes? The scene in the first picture is from a rather small Pompeiian house (“Casa del Frutteto”, House of the Orchard), that has just reopened for the public. Romans, as we do now, had trends and fashions in painting and house decor. From the 1st century BCE to the first half of the 1st century CE, houses were decorated with mono-dimensional scenes, as we would do now using wallpaper. The subject of the paintings changed according to the room. The owner of this house, a wine seller, particularly loved garden scenes and rooms are decorated with fig, bay, lemon, cherry tries and more! One of the most beautiful parallels to this fresco (the third frame in this post) is in Livia’s villa in Rome (a gift from Emperor Augustus to his wife). This scene was decorating a nymphaeum, an indoor pool. . . . . #art #romanart #classicalart #painting #fresco #london #rome #europe #pompeii #quarantine #quarantena #outdoors #covid_19 #covid #artnews
While fears and global tensions increase due to the increased spread of #coronavirus, it is also time to reflect on the consequences of epidemics on #art. This is the first of a series of posts that will show what art was produced during the main epidemics of human history and how the styles and contents were changing accordingly to the times. Titian, on display at the @nationalgallery from next week, has lived through one of the many plague epidemics that were affecting northern Italian cities after 1500 (on average, one plague every two years!). The artist painted Pietà (1576, now in Venice), in this post, as an ex voto against the plague. In the bottom right-hand corner, a tablet shows the painter and his son asking the Virgin for protection. Titian also intended this painting to be placed on his grave, although the plague took him too soon for an appropriate funeral. Titian, the richest painter in history, died with his son in the #plague of 1576. His heritage was later squandered by another one of his sons in only 5 years. . . . . . #coronavirus #corona #covid2019 #covid #covid19outbreak #epidemic #art #nationalgallery #london #uk #titian #tiziano #arthistory #artnews
