CHARITY AND SCIENCE

A. Characteristic of the work that classifies it under their type of subject

presentation.
Answer:
According to (Malen Gual 2010) Science and Charity, an oil painting, depicts the young painter's experience of
traditional academic art training in nineteenth-century Spain, as well as the time at which he broke free from
his art-teacher father's influence. This crucial image may now be examined as never before, alongside a
selection of works by other artists, period documents, and the results of the most recent scientific
examinations of pigment and composition undertaken here at the Museum. Giga-pixel photography allows us
to see the fine grain of the painting and the brushwork in far greater detail than the human eye can, allowing
us to appreciate the artist's unique working technique. The pigment analysis was also quite interesting. On the
surface, this painting appears to have relatively flat and repetitive hues, but study reveals that Picasso used a
rich palette of 16 colors to get the tones he sought. The X-ray image, presented at 1:1 scale here, and the film,
which highlight the three primary pentimenti or alterations made by the adolescent Picasso, also clearly
demonstrate the artist's concerns about the composition.

B. Source of the art inspiration (nature, religion, etc.) How do you say so?
Answer: A Hospital Ward The painting during the Visit of the Head Doctor by Sevillian painter Luis Jiménez
Aranda may have inspired the selected theme (1845-1928). This monumental work, which gained top awards
in both Paris (1889) and Madrid (1892), was crucial in the history of academic Hispanic painting as the
consecration of visual realism as well as the ultimate social concern (as opposed to historical). It is important
to remember that the subject which is comparable to a composition by Enrique Paternina, Mother's Visit,
shown at an exhibition in 1896 has a more direct precursor in a little panel on wood painted by Picasso in La
Corua in 1894. (The Sick Woman).

Answer:As stated by ( katz and koshbin 2016) the drawing of Picasso's is artistic forebears, Science and Charity
develops on a pattern depicting the dictatorial and impersonal medical practitioner, in this case juxtaposed to
a nun exuding empathy and sympathy, with the patient exactly positioned between the extremes. Picasso's
Science and Charity (cover, 1896–1897) is the middle of three paintings created during a long cholera
epidemic in his hometown (from which one of his sisters apparently died in infancy) and in the immediate
aftermath of his beloved younger sister Conchita's death from diphtheria at the age of 7 in 1895.

C. Explain the title of the work and identify the artist with a little background of them.
Answer:
The title work is the “Science and Charity “ means The painting's which may be characterized as social realism
in general and the hospital subgenre in particular, was deliberately chosen to correspond to contemporary
preferences in the Spanish and worldwide circuits. The young Picasso chose to follow the official model,
guided by his father, Don José. "This artwork, whose subject was offered by Don José himself, portrays a sick
woman laying on a pallet," says Sabartés, the artist's friend and private secretary. A Sister of Charity with a
newborn in her arms offers the patient a bowl of broth in the backdrop. In the foreground, a doctor is taking
her pulse. Pablo's father served in the military.

Answer: the famous artist of this work is Pablo Picasso was the most important and dominant artist of the first
half of the twentieth century. He is most known for co-inventing Cubism with Georges Braque, but he also
pioneered collage and made significant contributions to Symbolism and Surrealism. He viewed himself as
primarily a painter, although his sculpture was highly important, and he also experimented with printing and
ceramics. Finally, he was a notably charming personality; his various connections with women not only bled
into his art but may have guided its direction, and his conduct has come to represent the bohemian
contemporary artist in public imagination. A convergence of inspirations, ranging from Paul Cézanne and Henri
Rousseau to archaic and tribal art, prompted Picasso to give his figures greater structure, finally leading him to
Cubism, in which he demolished the perspective standards that had dominated painting since the
Renaissance. These breakthroughs would have far-reaching implications for virtually all of contemporary art,
changing attitudes about the portrayal of form in space.

were inspired by Classical subjects, primarily the female form. With his almost photorealistic style,
Bouguereau created idealized worlds that were popular among wealthy art patrons. With William-Adolphe
Bouguereau's "The Abduction of Psyche," you can feel the power of love every day. Originally painted in 1895,
Bouguereau depicts the story of Cupid and Psyche, as told in Apuleius' ancient Roman novel
"Metamorphoses." Capturing the moment, the two ascend to heaven with Psyche in the arms of her true love,
its portrayal of romance and innocence is sure to capture viewers' hearts. Born in France in 1825, Bouguereau
was an academic painter and traditionalist who based many of his paintings on mythological themes, with a
focus on figure painting and the female form. He was immensely popular in his time for his modern
interpretations of classical subjects, and his works live on today. Shop overstockArt.com for a wide array of

 Portrait of an Unknown Women
A. Portrait of an Unknown Woman, also known as The Unknown Woman, An Unknown Lady or Stranger
is a painting by the Russian artist Ivan Kramskoi, drawn in 1883. The model, whose identity is
unknown, is a woman of "quiet strength and forthright gaze". It is one of Russia's best-known art works,
although a number of critics were indignant when the painting was first exhibited and condemned what
they saw as a depiction of a haughty and immoral woman. Its popularity has grown with changes in
public taste.

moment in Russian.The popularity of the arts grown which turn that women in the painting seen as a strong
and resolute woman. Ivan Kramekoi show the life of unknown woman moment in Russian.
C. Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoi (1837-1887) was a Russian painter and art critic. He attended the St.
Petersburg Academy of Arts from 1857-1863, however he rejected the strict rules of the academy and
initiated what is known as "the revolt of fourteen," wherein a group of young students refused to paint the
assigned subject of an exam painting in rebellion against the annual competition. They were expelled and
founded their own group, the independent Artel of Artists. Kramskoi's paintings directly oppose the
precepts of traditional academic painting. They often express a realism, both stylistically and emotionally,
that does not adhere to the conventions. Although he did paint some religious and mythological paintings,
and a few landscapes, he is best known for his numerous and diverse portraits, including his celebrated self-
portrait of 1867 and his portrait of Maria Feodorovna, Empress of Russia. Portrait of an Unknown
Woman is perhaps Kramskoi's most celebrated painting, and a treasure of Russian art. When it was initially
shown, some critics objected to the woman's expression which they perceived as haughty and superior, even
immoral, with some going so far as to say she was a prostitute. However its popularity has grown over time
and the subject is now seen as a strong and resolute woman, whose character shines through the painting's
rendering. All of her features are carefully rendered to express both her beauty and a certain intelligence
and intensity. Meanwhile, her setting of the carriage and winter street are rendered with great texture and
atmosphere. This painting has been used as the cover for certain editions of Anna Karenina, and many have
associated this woman's personality with that character's, invoking the special Russianness that they share.
Whoever this woman is, she is a compelling figure, both in the history of Russian art, and within the picture
space of this painting, where we long to meet her potent gaze.
