Santa Monica College Art History 2 Online Class (AHIS2) MEYER, W




1. ***ESSAY***  Examine the below image by Peter Paul Rubens of Judith and the Head of Holofernes.  Based on on what you have learned in this course, discuss this image in context of the artist and the course as a whole.  How is it similar to and different from works we have studied by the artist himself and other artists in the course.  An obvious comparison would be with Artemisia Gentileschi's painting of a similar subject.



2. ***ESSAY*** Compare and contrast any two portraits from chapters 18-22.  Make sure they are from different Chapters and put them into their historical context and describe how they are different and similar both in form and content.  Think about the socio-political-cultural-religious environment, the patronage system at use, the style of painting and the artist and their respective styles. (Points : 25)
