283. 19984 Compare and Contrast Two Pieces of Art This paper briefly compares and contrasts two pieces of artwork in respect to their relation to their audiences at the time of their creation. The two pieces of artwork are the Greek ?Statue of a Kouros? and the ?Human- headed Winged Bull and Winged Lion? from Mesopotamia. As both date from approximately the same time period (590 and 880 BCE, respectively), these artworks are thus exceptional means of comparing the significance of art on different societies.

285. 20061 Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Apollo and Daphne In this paper, we will examine Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Apollo and Daphne. Bernini created Apollo and Daphne over a three-year period, with some interruptions, beginning in the summer of 1622, when he was twenty-three years old. It was Commissioned by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, and was the third in a series of life-size marble sculptures he ordered from Bernini to adorn his villa outside the Porta Pinciana, the others being the Aeneas and Anchises (1618-19), the Pluto and Proserpina of 1621-22, and the David (1623-24). The group's delivery to the Villa Borghese in the fall of 1625 completed this series of statues. In this paper, we will examine Benini, the time in which Bernini created Apollo and Daphne. We will also look deeply and critically at the work of art itself. Let us now take a brief look at the period in which Apollo and Daphne was created.

286. 20079 Donatello's David Donatello ? the name used professionally by Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi, one of the greatest of all Italian Renaissance artists whose work in bronze was rivaled by that of his work in marble, is today remembered for the entire opus of his work, as well he should be. But he is most particularly remembered for a single piece, his bronze statue of David, and that this one work of his should after so many centuries stand out is also fitting, not only because of the intrinsic beauty of the figure, not only because it was the first freestanding nude made and displayed since the Renaissance, but also because the work illuminates the complex system of artistic production and artistic patronage that existed in the early years of the Renaissance, especially in regards to the de Medici family.
