This was found at the John Soane Museum, this was the only picture I could find of these female manikins with male arms wrapped around them. This connects to a Room With a View because when Lucy was with Cecil he was trying to control her, much like the male arms wrapped around the female manikin in this picture.
This JMW Turner's painting, found in the Turner gallery at Tate Brittan named St Benedetto, looking towards Fusina exhibited 1842. This fantasy painting sends the message that to truly travel is to see the view from your own perception, not someone else's.
On the Tate boat, we got a view of the London Eye, the most typical London Tourist spot. If Lucy was visiting London you would expect her to visit the London Eye.
The main floor of the John Soane Museum which had many artifacts from Italy and Greece that you would expect to see when going on your Grand Tour.
This painting An Old Man holding a Pilgrim-Bottle, painted in the 1650s by an unknown artist, found at the National Gallery, shows a man holding a globe, symbolizing how traveling gives you a different perspective of life. Which is true in Lucy's case, because her trip to Italy changed her perspective of life.
I liked you captions and the images such as the wise man painting. very good work Christo !
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your ability to relate pictures to the novel even when we didn't directly discuss them in class. It is clear you chose them carefully.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with what you said about how it is important to see a view for yourself and from your own perception.
ReplyDeleteYou have some nice details in your captions. I really like your connection of Cecil's control to the sculptures. Good job!
