Question

Giovanni Boccaccio, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Christine de Pizan wrote in the vernacular to express the realities of their world. What modern work of art – verbal or visual—do you think does a good job reflecting the reality of contemporary life? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

The modern work of art entitled "The potato eaters" painted by Van Goch portrays the reality of contemporary life.

Explanation:

The painting depicts a family sitting at the table while eating potatoes. I believe that this painting reflects the moment we are going through now, since due to the coronavirus we have to stay in our homes and this results in greater contact with our family. Many people were not in the habit of eating family meals because of the daily rush, but with quarantine and social distance, family meals became more frequent.

In addition, the painting contains dark tones which may be linked to the moment of uncertainty that we are experiencing and to all the deaths caused by the virus.
