Three Musicians (Velázquez)
''Three Musicians'' is an oil painting by Diego Velázquez, a Spanish Baroque painter considered one of the great Spanish naturalists. It depicts three young men grouped around a dinner table playing music. It is painted in chiaroscuro, a Baroque painting technique that made use of the contrast between light and dark shadows to achieve a sense of volume. The work is part of the collection of the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. Description ''Three Musicians'' is one of Velázquez's earliest works, from his early Seville period. It is one of approximately ten paintings in the bodegón style that Velázquez executed before 1622, while living in Seville. Its subject is similar to that of another painting, '' The Farmers' Lunch''. In this painting three young men are grouped around a table eating, drinking and playing music, with strong contrasts of light and darkness around the figures. The light falls from the left, creating sharp shadows and intense highlights. Two men with stringed instr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Three Musicians (Picasso)
''Three Musicians'', also known as ''Musicians with Masks'' or ''Musicians in Masks'', is a large oil painting created by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. He painted two versions of ''Three Musicians''. Both versions were completed in the summer of 1921 in Fontainebleau near Paris, France, in the garage of a villa that Picasso was using as his studio. They exemplify the Synthetic Cubist style; the flat planes of color and "intricate puzzle-like composition" giving the appearance of cutout paper with which the style originated. These paintings each colorfully represent three figures wearing masks. The two figures in the center and left are wearing the costumes of Pierrot and Harlequin from the popular Italian theater Commedia dell'arte, and the figure on the right is dressed as a monk. In one version, there also is a dog underneath the table. Although both versions share the same subject, the darker version today is more famous than the other.

Chlorocebus
''Chlorocebus'' is a genus of medium-sized primates from the family of Old World monkeys. Six species are currently recognized, although some people classify them all as a single species with numerous subspecies. Either way, they make up the entirety of the genus ''Chlorocebus''. Confusingly, the terms "vervet monkey" and "green monkey" are sometimes used to refer to the whole genus ''Chlorocebus'', though they also refer more precisely to species ''vervet monkey, Chlorocebus pygerythrus'' and ''green monkey, Chlorocebus sabaeus'', respectively, neither of which is the type species for ''Chlorocebus''. This article uses the term ''Chlorocebus'' consistently for the genus and the common names only for the species. The native range (biology), range of these monkeys is sub-Saharan Africa from Senegal and Ethiopia south to South Africa. However, in previous centuries, a number of them were taken as pets by early Caribbean settlers and slave traders, and were transported across the At ...

Monkeys In Art
Monkey is a common name that may refer to most mammals of the infraorder Simiiformes, also known as simians. Traditionally, all animals in the group now known as simians are counted as monkeys except the apes. Thus monkeys, in that sense, constitute an incomplete Paraphyly, paraphyletic grouping; alternatively, if apes (Hominoidea) are included, ''monkeys'' and ''simians'' are synonyms. In 1812, Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, Étienne Geoffroy grouped the Ape, apes and the Cercopithecidae group of monkeys together and established the name Catarrhini, "Old World monkeys" ("''singes de l'Ancien Monde''" in French language, French). The extant sister of the Catarrhini in the monkey ("singes") group is the Platyrrhini (New World monkeys). Some nine million years before the divergence between the Cercopithecidae and the apes, the Platyrrhini emerged within "monkeys" by migration to South America likely by ocean. Apes are thus deep in the tree of extant and extinct monkeys, and any ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Food And Drink Paintings
Food is any substance consumed by an organism for nutritional support. Food is usually of plant, animal, or fungal origin and contains essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. Different species of animals have different feeding behaviours that satisfy the needs of their metabolisms and have evolved to fill a specific ecological niche within specific geographical contexts. Omnivorous humans are highly adaptable and have adapted to obtaining food in many different ecosystems. Humans generally use cooking to prepare food for consumption. The majority of the food energy required is supplied by the industrial food industry, which produces food through intensive agriculture and distributes it through complex food processing and food distribution systems. This system of conventional agriculture relies hea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
