Explain the philosophy, technique, visual elements, and physical/geographical/cultural influences both on the artist of this work, but also on the society.

In a formal essay explain the development of one chosen piece of art that is studied in the chapters this term. Based on your approved outline and thesis, describe the artist(s) and art work that made this style distinct and important to its time and culture. Explain the philosophy, technique, visual elements, and physical/geographical/cultural influences both on the artist of this work, but also on the society. For example, explain who were the patrons of this work (Why did people like it? Pay money for it? Display it in a museum?) The answer to some of these questions may come as a revolt to another style/artist/culture or an evolution of external influences (so be sure to explain these ideas as well). Toward the end of your essay you can also focus on contemporary readings and issues that the work brings forth.
Throughout the paper try to answer at least these two questions: How does this specific piece of art define the culture and time from which it was created?
