1663. Dora Maar with Cat by Picasso

Dora Maar with Cat is a large, luminous, portrait of Picasso's mistress, seated on a chair with a small cat perched on her shoulders. An inspiration as well as a mistress, Dora Maar was one of Picasso's favourite models and the subject of countless interpretations (eg. Weeping Woman) during the course of their dynamic relationship which endured for 11 years from 1935 to 1946. In this portrait of Maar, Picasso has added numerous deliberate narrative or symbolic elements, including: a hat, symbolizing a crown; a cat, alluding to feminine guile and sensual activity; long sharp fingernails (not visible in the picture) to reinforce the idea of feline aggression. read more...

1668. Sistine Chapel

Sistine Chapel is the best known chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official palace of the Pope in Vatican. Its fame rests on its architecture, evocative of Solomon's Temple of the Old Testament and on its decoration which has been frescoed throughout by the greatest Renaissance artists including Michelangelo, Raphael, Bernini, and Sandro Botticelli. Michelangelo painted 12,000 square feet of the chapel ceiling between 1508 and 1512. He resented the commission, and believed his work only served the Pope's need for grandeur. Today the ceiling, and especially The Last Judgement, are widely believed to be Michelangelo's crowning achievements in painting. read more...
