Women.jpg

Often times in society and culture, social associations are the premises of all that

happens. The manner in which we talk, the workmanship we make are ways we interface with

each other. For instance, poems, pictures and music are artifacts that tie a gathering of

individuals together from different culture and qualities. I discovered a painting called “The

rape of Sabine women” by Pietro da Cortona. Cortona was an Italian painter and architect. In

1626, the Sacchetti family engaged Cortona to paint the large canvas of The Rape of Sabine

women in Rome. He was born Pietro Berrettini, yet is essentially known by the name of his

local town of Cortona in Tuscany. Pietro was born into a family of artisans and masons

After studying this artifact, I analyse that the account of the Sabine ladies is definitely

not a cheerful one. As indicated by Roman folklore, when Rome was established by Romulus

there weren't sufficient Romans, thus the men were urged to kidnap the neighbouring Sabine

women to ensure they had an offspring. The mass kidnapping or assault occurred during a

celebration at which diverse nearby individuals were accumulated. Romans snatched Sabine

ladies, and Romulus begged them to acknowledge these men as their spouses. This wrongdoing

against the Sabine ladies—assaulted or taken, they were persuasively eliminated from their

locale and into relationships with Romans—has been portrayed by numerous craftsmen since

forever, from Degas to Poussin to Picasso.

Annotated Bibliography

Fajardo-Acosta, F. (2000). Reading the Visual Arts: Textuality and Historicity in Poussin’s

Rape of the Sabine Women. Exemplaria, 12(2), 487-522.

I found this source useful, as it explains the importance of women in society and tells us how

women overcome the hardships of their life and suffered in their community.

Jane Costello. (1947). The Rape of Sabine Women by Nicolas Poussin. The Metropolitan

Museum of Art Bulletin, 5(8), 197. https://doi-org.ezproxy.capilanou.ca/10.2307/3257295

I found this source useful because, in this article, the author explains the painting and the story

behind it. He explains the religious values and morals of the culture.

Loire, S. (1998). Rome: Pietro da Cortona. Burlington Magazine, 140, 219-221

The article Rome: Pietro da Cortona illustrates the paintings of Cortona which

was entirely devoted to his draftsman ship. This article will be useful for the analysis

as it shares background and cultural information about the painter.

Vetrocq, M.E. (2007). Sussman’s Sabines: in her sumptuous, feature-length Rape of the Sabine

Women, recently screened in New York, Eve Sussman updates Roman myth and its

Neo-classical representations with references that range from David Hockney to

Jacques Tati. Art in America, 4, 112.

to focus your topic .

In this article, the author explains what other people think and feel about their culture. Is it right

or wrong to treat women like that? It is still questionable thing about this artifact.

- are that rape

abduction of women are questionable ?

As in ,

it's a question as to whether it

is right or wrong?

Charu ,

Your artifact is fine

,

but as you can

see from my comments, you need to focusyonrtopic

. The

aim of The project

is to talk about

gender in a specific culture - so

6.8 you need#oh TO culture you will focus

on in

relation to the painting.

Your sources so far are all

related to art history

.. I strongly

encourage you to find some

sociological or anthropological

sources

as well, that discuss gender

more directly. Book an appointment

with me if you want assistance

or

to discuss this .
