Document Summary
We will see classicizing tendency and realist tendency: classicizing tendency (grand manner) will be shown by nicolas poussin. Holy family: idealized figures, triangular format and chiaroscuro, he doesn"t achieve as graceful forms as raphael did (slide 4, localized areas of primary colors, both types of perspectives. He also painted history paintings through an ancient lens. Abduction of the sabine women: red guy giving soldiers orders to abduct cities women, very idealized figures, resembles a classical frieze, strategic use of color and localized areas of primary colors, chiaroscuro in this painting. Midas and bacchus: a pastige (paste) He is cutting and pasting stuff from other works: kneeling figure and standing figure just like perugino"s delivery of the keys at sistine chapel. Classicizing: coping titian"s bacchanal with reclining nude but moved it from lower right to lower left, venetian format of placing little seen in right foreground like titian did.
