    Hi Corissa. You’re not the only one experiencing difficulty with the eyeconart.net links. The site has moved and changed the link structure to their archived articles. We are working to relink to the new locations.

    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.

    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).
