  • Analyzing Paul Revere's Portrait

    351 Words  | 1 Pages

    Paul Revere is Copley’s only finished portrait of an artisan dressed in shirtsleeves and shown at work. Revere is shown half length, seated behind a highly polished table, and casually attired. He cradles his chin in his right hand and regards the viewer as if he has just looked up from the teapot in his left hand; the pot is finished but remains undecorated, and the engraving tools at Revere’s elbow attest to the work yet to come. When Copley painted Revere’s portrait, his sitter was an accomplished, well-established silversmith and master of the rococo style, both in engraving and in three dimensional hollow ware such as teapot. He completed the Sons of Liberty Bowl , now considered one of the United States’ most cherished historical treasures,

  • analysis on portrait of a lady

    In ''Portrait of a Lady" music becomes one of the factors of attachment. Part one is beginning with contemptuous allusions to "the latest Pole" who broadcasts "the Preludes, through his hair and finger-tips." The dialogue of the piano performance of Chopin, "so intimate," transforms to "attenuated tones of violins" and "remote cornets" as the lady speaks. When the poem goes back to the voice of the man, those noises have been changed to flat "windings of the violins" and "cracked cornets." These not so positive attributes go on as he explains his ideas in the musical metaphors of a "dull tom-tom," "Absurdly hammering a prelude," "Capricious monotone," show the woman's voice has the displeasing, "out-of-tune," resemblance of a "broken violin." Eliot repeats "always”, “sure” and “feelings” to render this urge. As well as the "street piano," like the man's self-worth, is "mechanical and tired," it is no longer authentic, it will solely repeat "some worn-out common song." Eventually the music finishes, it ends with a "dying fall."

  • Human Figure: Painting Analysis

    Several human figures can also be found gathered around one central human figure who is lying on the ground with the other figures of children around him. The figure of the man is in the foreground of the painting in the center. His arms are oriented in positions indicating fatigue or anguish, one arm by his side tucked tightly in toward his body, and the other is stretched over his head bent at the elbow and draping over his forehead. The man's clothing seems rather loose and baggy exposing his chest and stomach, while also leaving his legs from the knee down exposed. But his feet are being covered by the figures of two human children so it is unknown whether he is wearing shoes. While this man lays in the field there are also many different species of flowers that spring from the ground all around him. Some seem to be placed next to him while
