In order to form a strong basis to each analysis's structure I decided to look into others analysis's of imagery and form a code from which they are structured. A similar may then be applied to my own analysis.
“
A portrait of George Washington with the plan for the Federal City, engraved in 1793 by Edward Savage,
shows how the delineation of a new and grand city lent credence to the image of Washington as ”King George” while celebrating the originality of Washington”s vision and its power to bend nature to his political design. The plan is presented as Washington”s brainchild . . .
he calmly gazes into the magnificent future prescribed by his design and echoed by the open sky in the background. While Jefferson gazes in adoration upon the classical past, Washington is equally transfixed by the future—he appears even to be looking at his city, already built. It is there, he can see it, and we are invited to see it too.
This confident expectancy is further suggested by the way Washington supplements the classical past, as represented by the column. He turns his back to it and yet subsumes it by the uprightness of his posture; he becomes a pillar himself of the future state. Contrary to Jefferson”s dark view,
this portrait suggests that it is no crime to have ”the vision thing.”
- Firstly the image is introduced with background information-when applying this to mine this may be the location and or age of the piece.
- Key point one-not strongest point but leads onto the second.
- How location influences the piece
- Second point
- Main connotation towards the piece, finally summary.
From completing this exercise I belive that I have gathered a greater stance to ways in which an image analysis can be explored. A similar formatting may be used within my own analysis.
