I think this artwork out of my 3 is the one that most directly relates to the ideas of beauty.
a) The artist uses all formal elements of beauty to create a pleasing visual experience. The unity in colors are so well blended in, as well as the balance, rhythm, contrast & emphasis. They do not guide your eyes to a focal point but since its so well blended in, you tend to look at every square cm of the painting because it is so detailed and accurately painted. The scale and proportions are painted so well. the people closer to you are bigger and the further the others in the back the smaller they are.
b) I think this work of art is in the baroque scale and it is an intellectual and balanced artwork. All the colors are well blended in, the scale and proportions are accurate, the whole painting is well balanced. When I see this painted I am in awe. It looks so lifelike that I feel as if this were a picture taken from the inside of the Pantheon. Makes me want to visit the Pantheon and stand from this position and see how accurate the painting is.
c) It will be hard for me to re paint this work of art into a contemporary visual language with a contemporary interpretation of cultural beauty because I don't really have the "art eye." I wouldn't know what to do. I don't really get what today's standards on cultural beauty are. Maybe make the colors pop out more and emphasize more on facial expression. idk.
