So I have been researching the Romantic period for my art history project this week . . . and I stumbled upon THE perfect something to tell you about.
It is Gericault's Mazeppa.
Tied naked to a horse, Mazeppa became a symbol and an interpretation of the sufferings of the artist, of the man of genius who endures so much for the sake of his art.
Sigh.
That has been me this week. I finished a painting. One painting. In addition to an art history test and project, one painting. Sometimes I won't let myself finish something just to finish it. I have to push everything else aside in order to do my best. Unfortunately, drawing got pushed aside this week. I am determined that it won't happen again next week.
Hanna will get into a fight with her horse and win. I promise.
