@AhsARTHISTORY Of course!! There’s also the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal I think you would love.

My attempt at Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa—minus the boats and Mt. Fuji, and the addition of “koi fish” that look more like killer whales @AhsARTHISTORY

@apkarthistory I just wanted to share that this k-drama I’m watching called Vincenzo references Liberty Leading the People. You can find the scene on Netflix; it’s at the end of episode 7.

[Anh Doan @2AnhD]

@apkarthistory Her breasts being out is a reference to antiquity, the birth of Democracy and Ancient Greece. You could compare Liberty Leading the People to work 235 Rebellious Silence as they both bring awareness to the role of women in revolutions.

@apkarthistory This painting shows the fetishization of a culture. Ingres covered up his “object of desire” in distant exoticism. We still see problems with fetishization today that facilitates negative stereotypes. Also as someone with scoliosis this painting offends me.

@apkarthistory 107. La Grande Odalisque

Why might La Grande Odalisque be “cancelled” if it were painted today?

[Anh Doan @2AnhD]

@apkarthistory She is lifting her skirt by raising her leg. This is a flirtatious act that rejects traditional female modesty and back then women did not wear undergarments.

@apkarthistory 101. The Swing

What is so scandalous about the woman raising her leg in The Swing?

@apkarthistory The iridescent shells, which form most of Virgin Mary’s clothing, would reflect shimmering candlelight to emphasize the sacredness and importance of the Virgin Mary.

@apkarthistory 95. Virgin of Guadalupe

What does the use of shells accomplish in Virgin of Guadalupe?

[Anh Doan @2AnhD]

@apkarthistory Louis used the Palace to link himself directly to the Greek god Apollo (eg The Apollo Fountain and Apollo Salon). The Palace also incorporated ornate Baroque decoration to demonstrate his wealth and glory, and classicism to express that he was a man of culture and intellect.

[Anh Doan @2AnhD]

@apkarthistory Work 93. How did the Palace of Versailles emphasize the importance and power of King Louis XIV?

[Anh Doan @2AnhD]

@apkarthistory Their portrait may be hung on the walls of family homes and in the wharenui (the central building of a community center).

[Anh Doan @2AnhD]

@apkarthistory 220. In Maori culture, portraits like this one of Tamati Waka Nene would be hung where after the person has died?

[Anh Doan @2AnhD]

@apkarthistory Connected turtle shell plates form the 3D appearance. Each shell is heated up so it can be bent to the desired shape. The plates are then pierced around the edges so that fiber can be used to thread the plates together.

[Anh Doan @2AnhD]

@apkarthistory 218. What gives the Buk Mask its 3D appearance?

[Anh Doan @2AnhD]

@apkarthistory The Nukouro people called these wood figures “tino aitu”.

[Anh Doan @2AnhD]

@apkarthistory 217. What did the Nukuoro people call figures like “Female deity”?
