    I love the french art. It’s like the impressionistic period never fully left.

    I like the still life; the lighting, composition and colors, even if I do not understand the moralistic messages they were intended to portray – I still appreciate the form.

  8. Courtney Sessum writes:

    Still lifes are hard to understand. I believe that the interperation that can happen in so many different ways is what draws people to liking this style so much.

    I thought at first that illusionist ceilings were weird because it was similiar to mannerism in the fact that it was artificial beauty. It was not the real ceiling I was looking at, it was an illusion. Thus the name of the painting technique. However, after further research I found it to be an extraordinary feat in design. Check out these magnificent ceiling frescos by *Annibale Carracci – Grand Gallery (Farnese Palace, Rome 1597-1601), *Pietro da Cortona – Glorification of Reign of Urban VIII (Pallazzo Barberini, Rome 1633-1639), and *Giovanni Battista Gaulli – Triumph of the Name of Jesus (Church of II Gesu, Rome 1676-1679).
