Description of Artifacts
The artifacts I have chosen to compare come from two different periods in European art, namely
from the Baroque art of 1600s and from the German Expressionist movement that was at its peak
in the early 20th century. The two pieces of art that I will compare are The Consequences of War
(1638-1639, oil on canvas, Palatine Gallery, Palazzo Pitti, Florence) and Self-Portrait as a
Soldier (1915, oil on canvas, Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College), which are two
artifacts that correspond to the movements of baroque and expressionism, respectively. The
belonging of The Consequences of War to the baroque style can be observed from the use of
intense emotions and artistic sensationalism that is common...
