For this week’s weekly photo challenge I decided to choose a famous painting that was painted by Edouard Manet. It is called the “surprised nymph”. I chose this particular painting because after viewing the film in class this week when they began to gradually great a little more artistic with the small amounts of nudity in the photographs. When the whole time the famous painters had already been painting nudity into their artwork. That is how people would view it as was art not some kind of pornography. This particular painting was actually painted on a canvas with oil paints in the year 1861. The Nymphs are spirits of fields, woods, streams, of nature in general, personifying its fecundity and gracefulness. They were considered secondary deities; nevertheless, they were respected, sometimes feared and prayed to. This painting was created in Paris, France and falls under the style of Realism, and is in the genre of mythological paintings. It to this day resides in the gallery of Museo Nacional de Bellas, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This painting to me looks like she was sitting in the woods alone as if she was thinking about something very important and decided to remove her clothing while she was thinking, and she had gotten startled by someone that snuck up on her and surprised her. Argo, the whole name of the painting “Surprised Nymph.” To fulfill this weekly challenge I took this painting into photo shop and used the text tool to add my personal watermark to it as I do when I make and finish editing all my own photographs.
