A masterpiece of 18th century French painting, this work by the French Rococo painter Jean-Antoine Watteau, which is also known asThe Embarkation for Cythera or Pilgrimage to the Island of Cythera, exists in three variants. The first, somewhat stilted version is dated 1710 and hangs in the Stadel institute in Frankfurt. Seven years later Watteau produced a second version, which he submitted as his presentation piece to the Fine Arts Academy in Paris. This Academy version now hangs in the Louvre. A third version, now in the Schloss Charlottenburg, Berlin, was executed in 1718-19 for a private client Jean de Jullienne (it was later acquired by King Frederick II of Prussia), and is a slight variation upon the Louvre picture. The Pilgrimage to Cythera is neither a genre painting nor a landscape painting, but a new type of picture known as La fete galante (a sort of allegory of courtship and falling in love). Influenced by the VenetianGiorgione (1477-1510) and the Flemish master Rubens (1577-1640), Watteau was regarded as one of the greatest Rococo artists, and this painting - which began life as an illustration of Florent Carton Dancourt's minor play The Three Cousins - was his finest work and one of the greatest genre paintings of the 18th century.

(a) Roger Fenton did not show images of death and war in details in his photography works

(c) Edward S Curtis is best known for his documentation of Native American

Explanation:

Roger Fenton showed no scenes of actual death although his letters and diary reveal that he saw plenty of evidence of the horrors of war. On one occasion he came across the body of a dead Russian ‘lying as if he had raised himself upon his elbow, the bare skull sticking up with still enough flesh left in the muscles to prevent it falling from the shoulders’.

Matthew Brady's Civil War documentation Business

At first, the effect of the Civil War on Brady's business was a brisk increase in sales of cartes de visite to departing soldiers. Brady readily marketed to parents the idea of capturing their young soldiers' images before they might be lost to war by running an ad in The New York Daily Tribune that warned, "You cannot tell how soon it may be too late."[4] However, he was soon taken with the idea of documenting the war itself. He first applied to an old friend, General Winfield Scott, for permission to travel to the battle sites, and eventually, he made his application to President Lincoln himself. Lincoln granted permission in 1861, with the proviso that Brady finance the project him

In 1899, Edward S Curtis became the official photographer for the Edward Harriman expedition to Alaska and developed an interest Native American culture. Curtis is best known for his documentation of Native American cultures published as The North American Indian

How was the figure used in Islamic art? (site 1)
Jobisdone [24]

Typically, though not entirely, Islamic art has focused on the depiction of patterns, whether purely geometric or floral, and Arabic calligraphy, rather than on figures, because it is feared by many Muslims that the depiction of the human form is idolatry and thereby a sin against God, forbidden in the Qur'an.

I hope this helps!!!
