It first looks at images and themes of excessive rationality, godlessness and human tragedy in Hogarth's six-part series "Marriage a-la-mode." It then discusses and compares female eroticism and objectification in Boucher's "The Blonde Odalisque" and Chardin's "Girl Peeling Vegetables."

From the Paper
" Wollstonecraft would no doubt be offended by either image. In The Blonde Odalisque, the subject's role is simply decorative: for men's visual pleasure. The subject gazes at something or someone of interest, perhaps (this would further increase eroticism) a man fancied. Wollstonecraft would say this painting trivializes and devalues its female subject: as a decorative object, not a full human being. In Girl Peeling Vegetables, similarly, the expression of the female is vapid; too empty-headed even to be bored with her tedious work. Her thoughts, when she thinks them, are covertly sexual, and the subtle but suggestive positions, and implied movements, of her hands reinforce this idea. Wollstonecraft would find both artists' views of women shallow, limited, and lacking in real-life complexity and dimensionality."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer states that caricaturist, William Hogarth was able to achieve with his prints and caricatures, what his contemporaries strive to attain through their writings and poems. It looks at how his political agenda was served through his cartoons and engravings, as they depicted a very real picture of the life and society in the 18th century. It looks at how his work influenced Fielding's writings - also filled with a political agenda.
From the Paper
. It is commonly believed that, ?In his masterpieces - "A Harlot's Progress," "A Rake's Progress," "Marriage A-la-Mode" and "Gin Lane" - he created an image of society so resonant and enduring that the adjective "Hogarthian" has come to define 18th-Century England.? (Smith, 9) Henry Fielding was another famous name of those days. He wasn?t just a contemporary of Hogarth?s but was his close friend and staunch supporter. Together they fought against the immorality persisting in their society by highlighting its weaknesses in their works. Smith (1997) adds, ?Hogarth, along with writers like his friend Henry Fielding, pioneered a vigorous, assertively British esthetic that proudly declared its independence from the oppressive weight of classical tradition and unthinking reverence for continental art.?
Fielding was deeply impressed by Hogarth?s courage and brilliance and thus took inspiration from his works for his own writings. Fielding?s famous works include Shamela, Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones, all three of which show prominent signs of Hogarth?s influence."

From the Paper
"Francois Boucher painted The Toilet of Venus. This painting was custom-made for Madame de Pompadour as part of the decoration for her cabinet de toilette at the Chateau de Bellevue, which was one of the residences she shared with King Louis XV. In the painting there are cupids and doves which are attributes of Venus as the goddess of Love. The flowers allude to her role as patroness of gardens and the pearls reflect her mysterious birth from the sea. Francois made the painting during the Rococo Style period. Rococo Style was popular in Western Europe from 1700-1780. The term comes from French, which stands for fanciful rock or shell design, and it exhibits an elegant feeling and style. As a painter of nudes, Boucher had no equal in his generation. "

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses influences made by different aspects upon the Safavid culture. The writer examines the role of Islam, commerce and trade in the culture of the Safavid, depicted by John Chardin in his book "Travels in Persia: 1673-1677." Further, the writer discusses Chardin's views on how self-interest influenced trade.
From the Paper
"In John Chardin's 'Travels In Persia', we see from the author's accounts of his travels and interaction with Safavid society that religion plays a significant role in society. However despite any religious significance of the Safavid society, the role and influence of trade and self-interest are illustrated as more significant to the culture and society. Islam plays an important role in court politics, commerce and international relations, but Chardin's Protestant background influences his view of the role of religion in these aspects of society and ...

Abstract
The paper analyzes the Baroque, Rococo and Neo-Classical styles of painting. The paper shows how in the work of Rembrandt, Adam and Boucher, one can realize how the various stages of color and opulence take on a far more rigid and simplistic turn to the Neo-Classical style that sought a return to antiquity. These three periods of art can be properly evaluated through the works of these various masters within their various styles.
From the Paper
"Rembrandt's painting "Aristotle with a Bust of Homer" reflects the Baroque view of life during the Enlightenment era, which reflects back on classical thought. This painting, created in 1653, offers a large-scale format that brings to life the two philosophical figures of antiquity. Rembrandt choose to show Aristotle contemplating a statuesque bust of the far older Grecian poet Homer."

From the Paper
"Rococo. The very term has become commonplace as the synonym for "decorative," "frilly" and "frivolous" art. That in itself is a step up from its origins as a derogatory term derived from the French word rocaille. The original invention of the term in the early 1800s was essentially a caricature, a satirical disparagement which consigned the entire Rococo period (circa 1680-1775) to being little more than an architectural style of playful decoration.. Likewise, our contemporary art historians and critics are rarely kind to the Rococo style - and are particularly hard on its artists. "The eighteenth century," one college text proclaims,. "did not produce a single figure in the visual arts to rank with the universal masters of previous epochs." Like all such sweeping generalizations, both criticisms - new and old - miss key elements in the character of Rococo ..."

Abstract
This paper looks at two different styles of art, Baroque and Rococo, and discusses the works of famous artists of both types of art. The paper discusses the similarities and differences in the styles and techniques of Baroque artists, Caravaggio and Annibale Carracci, and Rococo artists, Watteau and William Hogarth.
From the Paper
"As mentioned before, Annibale Carracci was among the monst influential painters of the Baroque period. Contrary to Carravaggio, he was inclined to use clear, pale colors, as a mean to achieve the elegance and grace that were desired by the commissioners. Influenced by Raphael?s Stanzas in the Vatican, Carracci also predicted a return to the fresco style of painting and revealed this in the decoration of the Farnese Gallery in Rome. Carracci formed himself as a painter together with his brother Agostino and his cousin Lodovico at the latter?s studio, but it was soon clear that Annibale was the more talented of the three. He was called to Rome in 1595 by Cardinal Odoardo Farnese to paint what was to be his masterpiece: the decoration of the Farnese Gallery, in the Farnese Palace."
