Atelier Cezanne


This beautiful image of Cezanne's studio has a theatrical presence. The light is enchanting while the 360 panarama shot on the blog show's some ornate furnishings and a large display cabinet - will research further. What is the period of the ornate piece?

Categories for the description of artworks

Not entirely sure how this differs from the system below, get the feeling it is possibly a different aspect - must research further: compare and contrast.

Compiled by www.getty.edu.

1.3. Object/Work Type Date

DEFINITION

A description of the date or range of dates when the object/work type is or was applicable.

EXAMPLES

from 500 BCE
1993
before 1652
1842-1896
17th century

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record the date when the object/work type was or is valid. Include references to uncertainty or ambiguity as necessary.

Form and syntax
Follow the applicable rules for display dates in CREATION - CREATION DATE.

If a work has had mutliple object/work types over time, this date is useful in establishing when the work served a particular function or purpose.

Dates may be estimated or approximate; for example, it may only be known that a work was a certain size in the 18th century, but not precisely on which day or year the measurement was taken. For further discussion of dates in general, see CREATION - DATE.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Free-text: This is not a controlled field. Maintain consistent capitalization, punctuation, and syntax where possible. Index the dates in the controlled EARLIEST DATE and LATEST DATE subcategories.

Description: The subject is a still life of flowers spilling onto a ledge, some decaying and being eaten by insects. It represents the senses of sight and smell; the decay and broken stems symbolize the transient nature of life, youth, and beauty; the ledge pushed up to the picture plane resembles the ledge seen in posthumous portraits, thus symbolizing death. The crown of thorns flower at the top symbolizes the Passion of Christ.
