Here is some more paintings that I really like. I do enjoy my art history class.
Theodore Gericault, Insane Woman. In the 1800's they started learning of the brain, subconscious, thus figuring out people had mental problems. Gericault was a painter of "insane" people for a book about care for them.
Francisco Goya, Saturn Devouring One of His Children. Sorry, it's a little gory. Story goes that Saturn's children were going to be more powerful than him, so he ate them. Nice guy.
Angelica Kauffmann, Cornelia Presenting Her Children as Her Treasures. The woman sitting is showing the other woman her new jewelry. She asks her what her treasures are and she presents her with her children.
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Grande Odalisque. If you will notice, her left leg doesn't seem to fit right. And her torso is extremely long. I still think it's beautiful.
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson, Burial of Atala. This young woman pledged to her dying mother that she would remain a virgin. She falls in love the young Native American on the left. She is torn, so she dies of love sickness. :)
