A portrait is defined as a depiction of a particular individual. The traditions of European portraiture extend back to antiquity in early Rome and Greece. The earliest Renaissance portraits were not individual paintings, but rather inclusions in pictures of Christian subjects. By the fifteenth century in Italy for example, important men and women realized that a likeness could function as a means of announcing one's piety, power, or virtue. During the Baroque era, artists such as Frans Hals showed sitters sometimes looking out at the viewer with a mix of emotions which highlighted their status and personalities. By the time of the Rococo, subjects were often depicted as elegant, graceful, slender and tall in peaceful and natural settings. Exploring the evolution of portrait painting from the 15th-18th centuries will be the subject of this docent-led talk.

From the gallery: Oolong Gallery is pleased to present "Global Entry," an inaugural exhibition to the art world stage, featuring an international collection of thirteen prominent and emerging artists. The show brings together core mediums in contemporary art: video, sculpture, painting, illustration, mixed media, and installation work. "Global Entry" was born from the doldrums of the pandemic and thus focuses on pleasure, convergence and the artists' mastery of a quarantine studio practice. All thirteen artists have been making work for more than a decade or two and have exhibited in major cities and galleries around the world. — Eric Laine Featuring: Sara Carter Bas Louter Kinga Kielczynska Timothy Ernst Alika Cooper Carlos Valencia Fay Ray Robbie Simon Carrie Marill Jason David Griselda Rosas Matthew C.
