@my_millennium Thank you very much for the valuable comment 🙏! I’ve incorporated your correction directly into the first paragraph of the Historical background section, where the palace’s #Rococo character is now more clearly acknowledged 😊👍

"The Death of Hyacinthus," Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, 1752-53.

I once heard Rococo as "Baroque being frivolous" and while this painting is pretty tragic, it's also unintentionally funny.

Tiepolo (1696-1770) was a prolific Venetian painter who also worked in Spain and Germany, with examples of his art being found all over the place. After his death, the rise of severe Neoclassicism meant his style was no longer in vogue, but today he's regarded as an exceptional decorative painter, perhaps not of great depth, but with exceptional technique.

Here we have a scene from Greek myth. Apollo loved the beautiful youth Hyacinthus, and one day, while playing with a discus, either Hyacinthus botched a throw, or Apollo botched a throw, or an errant wind from a jealous Zephyrus caused the discus to hit Hyacinthus, killing him. Apollo, in his grief, turned him into the hyacinth flower, which we see in the lower right corner...next to a tennis racket. Yup, in this painting they were playing tennis! Supposedly a translation of Ovid of the time changed "discus" to "tennis" which seems bizarre today.

A Rococo painting, depicting a scene from Greek mythology, where the youth Hyacinthus is accidentally slain by Apollo. In the lower right, we have a half-naked Hyacinthus, lying down and dying, while behind a putto seems to be blowing (perhaps Zephyrus, the north wind, who in some versions was responsible), while a distressed Apollo, half-naked with a blue wrap, flails. To the left, a group in rough dress seem either angry or upset, as if they're about to converge on the scene. In the background are assorted classical ruins, and somewhat absurdly, in the lower part of the canvas, we can see a tennis racket and balls. In the lower right corner, a hyacinth grows, what Hyacinthus would become after death.

Giambattista Tiepolo
An Allegory with Venus and Time
1754-58
Oil on canvas, 292 x 190 cm
National Gallery, London

One of my favourite pictures from London's National Gallery. I confess I often hold this picture in my mind's eye as a form of escapism -- an escape from strip malls, bloated SUVs, megachurches with fundamentalist PowerPoints punctuated by bad rock and extempore prayer, cargo pants,
presidential make up, the Hobby Lobby...

#Tiepolo #GiambattistaTiepolo #NtationalGallery #VenetianArt #Painting #LateBaroque #Rococo #Art #Allegory #Venus #Escapism

The image depicts a late baroque painting with an oval frame, featuringVenus seated on a cloud, draped in a white and pink cloth. She has long, flowing hair and is surrounded by various mythological figures. To her left, a winged male figure , perhps representing Time, holds a baby, while a cherub with wings and a bow is positioned below them. In the background, two white doves fly, and other figures, including cherubs, are present, some holding flowers. The scene is set against a soft, pastel-colored sky with clouds, creating a heavenly atmosphere.

Arte «La Pradera de San Isidro-Francisco de Goya»

Pintura: La pradera de San Isidro – Francisco de Goya

Título original: La pradera de San Isidro
Título en español: La pradera de San Isidro
Autor: Francisco de Goya
Estilo pictórico: Rococó
Siglo y año: Siglo XVIII, 1788

Descripción

«La pradera de San Isidro» es un boceto de Francisco de Goya, pintado como parte de una serie de cartones para tapices destinados a decorar el dormitorio de las infantas en el Palacio de El Pardo1. Esta obra, de pequeñas dimensiones (41,9 x 90,8 cm), es un óleo sobre lienzo que se encuentra actualmente en el Museo del Prado3.

La pintura representa una vista panorámica de Madrid desde la ermita de San Isidro, patrón de la ciudad, durante el día de la romería1. En primer plano, se muestra una multitud disfrutando de la festividad, mientras que al fondo se aprecia el perfil de la ciudad de Madrid3.

Características destacadas:

Perspectiva: Goya logra una gran sensación de espacio y profundidad, mostrando una vista realista de la topografía de Madrid1.
Elementos arquitectónicos: Se pueden distinguir edificios emblemáticos como el Palacio Real, la cúpula de San Francisco el Grande, y los puentes de Toledo y Segovia1 3.
Colorido: La obra utiliza una gama de tonos blancos, rosados, verdes y azules, con toques de rojo para dar variedad1.
Técnica: Goya emplea una imprimación de gama fría, innovando respecto a su primera época, lo que resulta en tonos dorados venecianos, perlas, grises y rosados1.
Composición: La escena está organizada en varios planos, con grupos de figuras en primer término que sirven como marco para la vista de la ciudad1.

A pesar de ser un boceto inacabado debido a la muerte de Carlos III, esta obra se ha convertido en un modelo iconográfico del Madrid goyesco, capturando magistralmente la atmósfera festiva y el paisaje urbano de la época1 3.

"Still Life with Flowers," Rachel Ruysch, 18th century.

I've talked about Ruysch before, but to recap quickly, she was the best-documented woman painter of her time, with an enormously successful career, getting commissions from many wealthy and influential clients. Poets wrote elegies in honor of her death in 1750, and despite the fact that she specialized in florals, her work was highly praised and fetched high prices after her passing; she even outsold Rembrandt!

The daughter of a scientist and professor of botany, Ruysch depicted plants and flowers with meticulous detail, developing her own style that straddled the line between Baroque and Rococo. Even today, she is regarded as one of the most talented still life artists of all time, bar none.

Happy Flower Friday!

A Baroque painting of a bouquet of flowers, on a marble tabletop; they sit in a vase or urn that is not visible. The flowers, painstakingly done in great detail, include tulips, carnations, marigolds, dandelions in the puff stage, and others. This is evidently a work of fantasy as the flowers are not ones that would be in bloom at the same time.
