Welcome to this Exploring Art Podcast where today Alan is joined with Nicole to give you an insight on Joane of Arc, a peasant girl that eventually became regarded as a French national Heroine. Friedrich Schiller's romantic tragedy 'Jungfrau von Orleans', depicts this french heroine who dies on the battlefield, rather than at the stake like her historical prototype. We take a deeper look into this inaccuracy, which can be seen to embrace this heroine and act as a symbol of chivalry and leads us to discuss whether historical inaccuracies lessen the value of the works of art in which these inaccurate portrayals occur.

Welcome to another episode of Exploring Art Podcast, A Florida International University student podcast for the creative curious! Today's case study is designed To help American viewers appreciate its 1986 exhibition of Japanese Buddhist art from Todaiji, the Chicago Art Institute produced a catalogue called The Great Eastern Temple, which explained the religious views of the period.

In this episode we discussed the story of Joan of Arc, while also looking at some of the artistic works inspire by her. In particular Friedrich

Schiller play Jung  von Orleans, a play in which the events of her dead where different to what originally had happened. Can a

historical inaccuracy affect the value of the work? This are some of the questions we tackle on this episode.

This podcast dives deep into the mythology surrounding Botticelli's painting of the Birth of Venus. We discuss her connection to Mother Mary as well as the deep mythology surrounding her existence. Her birth was a miracle and we go into different theories surrounding the painting, most notably that of Charles Mack. Everything surrounding this painting has a layer of mystery, listen as we peel those back to expose the truth and symbolism that is so prominent even in today's culture.

Cezanne made painting after painting of Mont-Sainte-Victoire, often from exactly the same spot. For the duration of Cezanne’s career, after his adoption of impressionism, he has made countless paintings of Mont Saint Victoire and have displayed an evolution of his style, transitioning from impressionism to post-impressionist (and nearly the beginning of cubism). The mountain was his motif as he consciously cultivated his association with the mountain and possibly may have wanted to be documented painting it.

Time goes on, and things change. During a couple years, people attributed women's artworks to men. There is no genre in art.  Interpretation depends on the way you see the piece of work. Knowing the context will give the viewer the answer to the 3 big questions about art: how was it made? Why was it made? And what did the artist want to achieve? Which can help them (viewers) connect with the piece of art.

In this episode of Exploring Art, we will be discussing a 21st-century dilemma, photograph vs portrait, which is better? We will be discussing the beautiful artworks of Rembrandt, an amazing and talented 17th-century Dutch artist, and we will also be looking at the amazing works of photographer Alfred Stieglitz. Ultimately we will decide on whether we would rather have a portrait  of the Greek philosopher Socrates, done by Rembrandt, or a photograph of Socrates taken by Alfred Stieglitz.

In this episode of Exploring Art Podcast, a fundamental resource for the creatively curious, Co-Hosts Stephanie Dahan & Christine Cunill investigate the work of Paul Cezzane and his various depictions of Mount Sainte Victoire. Throughout the episode, the co-hosts compare and contrast their opinions as they discuss what makes an artist realize him or herself through repeated portrayals of the same subject. Furthermore, addressing the interconnectedness between the artist and their work of art.

Can inaccurate art still be meaningful. Can we be analytical of the art derived from genius and taste produced from judgement of art to contemplate the difference that is the imagination of perfection and the totality and authenticity that comes with truth. Help us as we search through the origins and influences of artists such as Raphael the artist and Sir Joshua Reynolds to deduce what Reynolds might have meant by his statements on the meaning of inaccurate art.

In this episode of Exploring Art, today we present Giovani, Axel and Nick as we explore and discuss topics such as how gender played a role in the critique of unknown artwork and much more! We will talk about Frans Hal, The Louvre Museum, Judith Leyster and Jacques Louis David, while also giving personal input on the audience’s questions.
