Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Jupiter and Thetis
Eugène Delacroix, The Women of Algiers
Jupiter and Thetis, the subject is drawn from Homer's lliad, the Greek epic of the Trojan war. Ingres inherited the view that great art can be made only from great subject matter and that the greatest subject matter of all was history. The Women of Algiers which portrays three women and their servant. Compared with the cool perfection of Ingres ' careful drawing and glazed colors, Delecroix's technique is more freer and painterly.
Gustave Courbet, The Artist's Studio
Although a great many people crowd into the studio, the artist seems aloof from them. The intellectual appear to be on the right while peasants are on the right. I think this piece depicts status and wealth.
Berthe Morisot, Summer's Day, 1879
Summer's day and the two women seen here are an example of her style of work. A snapshot of life and admittance of fashionable and wealthy women. The palette is light, and so is the world around it, The ambience is calm and peaceful.
