| | EDSITEment - Lesson Plan |
 | | In the case of Boucher's Allegory of Painting, the art of painting is shown in the guise of a woman holding a paintbrush and painting an image on a canvas. | | | Allegory in the visual arts is the representation of meaning beyond or in addition to the literal meaning of what has been depicted. | | | This lesson plan introduces students to allegory in the visual arts through the works of a number of well-known artists, including Thomas Cole and Caravaggio. |

| | The Moral of Our Tale: The Function of Allegory |
| | Because an allegory was (and is) something an artist created by selecting the conflict the characters were to play out, it was necessary to explain, at least initially, the theme to its audience. | | | Indeed, many examples of poor or even downright silly allegory existed in period, penned by indifferent writers misusing a sophisticated technique. | | | Norman, Joanne S, Metamorphoses of an Allegory: The Iconography of the Psychomachia in Medieval Art, (Peter Lang, New York, Bern, Frankfurt am Main, Paris) 1988. |

| | Sinding Paper |
| | All language-based definitions of allegory founder on the fact of the cross-modality of allegory, and exaggerate the interpretation / composition distinction (perhaps as an analogy to Chomsky's distinction between competence and performance). | | | But Turner has discussed blending in relation to personification and allegory; and it also covers cases that are nonliterary analogies to literary allegories (political cartoons, advertisements, fables and parables). | | | The traditional rhetoric set forth by Cicero, Quintilian, and the Renaissance rhetoricians asserts that allegory is a sequence of sub-metaphors which amount in aggregate to one single, continued, "extended" metaphor. |

| | Ruskin and Nineteenth-Century Attitudes toward Allegory |
| | Assuming that with one exception allegory can appeal only to the fancy, Macaulay stands so completely committed to his romantic conception of art that he cannot even envisage the possibility of successful non-romantic modes. | | | Arguing against those who assert that "symbolism or personification should not be introduced in painting at all," Ruskin expresses the wish "that every great allegory which the poets ever invented were powerfully put on canvas, and easily accessible by all men, and that our artists were perpetually exciting themselves to invent more,'(5.134). | | | So suspicious is Carlyle of the workings of the conscious mind, that he holds no organic, sincerely believed, art could arise even partially in the conscious mind. |
