"THE ART ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING TO SAID IF YOY HAVE SOMETHING TO ASK"
This artwork represents the Greek hero Perseus victorious in his battle versus Medusa. This sculpture was made by Benvenuto Cellini in Italy from 1545 - 1554 and is currently shown in Piea della Signora. In the sculpture, he used a technique called "Mannerism" in bronze and it mesures 548.6cm.
The work of art was ordered from the Duke Cosmo I of Medici to the Florentine sculptor Cellini. Perseus symbolizes the power of the Medici. He has the head of medusa because it symbolizes victory of the rebellion of Florence. Medusa and Perseus have similarities in their faces and highlight the beauty of the body at repose.
The sculpture has a straight vertical line with the body of the Gorgona lying at his feet, with is human form, hermaphrodites representative on the hero, victorious and apparently can be interpreted in different ways depending on the angle, It have a realistic three-dimensional texture.
It is really a beautiful piece of art with different emotions: victory, ruperiority, violence, sensuality, sexuality and power. Incites viewers to walk around the work, because they can not contemplate a single viewpoint.

the sexuality of pain
I really liked your interpretation. It is a great picture, and I can clearly tell how you got inspiration from the original sculpture.
ResponderEliminarPlease check the rubric because with the interpretation you cover one part of your grade but there are other questions you need to address. If you have questions we will talk on monday!
cheers!
