This image is an allegory for charity. Guido Reni, despite his typical subject matter, occasionally got himself into trouble with his art. Once, he was painting an image for a chapel, and the person commissioning it said, \u201cHey man, since we both hate that one cardinal, why don\u2019t you paint him into this image as Satan?\u201d which he did. The only problem was that it was super obvious, everyone could tell it was him, and eventually that cardinal became the pope. Whoops. Guido Reni had to leave Rome. When he moved to another city, the local artists there threatened to poison him because he was taking all the commissions (classic haters) &#8211; the life of an artist.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cNijinksy\u201d by Auguste Rodin<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12140\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12140\" style=\"width: 436px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12140\" src=\"https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"436\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image8.png 436w, https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image8-331x475.png 331w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12140\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Auguste Rodin (French, Paris 1840\u20131917 Meudon) | Lent by Iris Cantor, 1997<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is a plaster model for an image of the famous dancer and choreographer Nijinsky. I love this sculpture because it\u2019s such a weird shape and form for a human body &#8211; and Nijinsky was a grade A weird dude. He\u2019s most famous for choreographing Stravinsky\u2019s Rite of Spring, a ballet with very out there music about a pagan ritual wherein a virgin girl is sacrificed (seriously &#8211; that\u2019s basically all that happens). At the opening performance in Paris in 1913, the dancing was so strange that people in the audience started yelling at the performers, a fight broke out, and this fight turned into a full scale riot &#8211; very impressive.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe Death of Socrates\u201d by Jacques Louis David<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12141\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12141\" style=\"width: 1023px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12141\" src=\"https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1023\" height=\"673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image6.png 1023w, https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image6-475x312.png 475w, https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image6-768x505.png 768w, https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image6-945x622.png 945w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12141\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jacques Louis David (French, Paris 1748\u20131825 Brussels) | Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Collection, Wolfe Fund, 1931<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jacques Louis David is easily one of the best painters ever, and when he made this painting, people were <i>really into it.<\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Maybe that\u2019s because of his awesome subject matter: Socrates totally killing himself. Long story short, Socrates went to the oracle who can ask the gods questions and tell people stuff. Socrates thinks, \u201cokay cool, I\u2019ll ask the oracle who the smartest man alive is, and then I\u2019ll go ask him stuff\u201d. So he does this, but in a shocking twist she says, \u201cyou are, Socrates. You are the smartest man\u201d. He doesn\u2019t believe her, and this tale culminates in him deciding that maybe he\u2019s the smartest man because he actually knows how not smart he is &#8211; woah, d e e p.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, he gets to questioning things a little bit too much, and he\u2019s sentenced to death for \u201ccorrupting the youth\u201d. The most important thing for you to notice is how RIPPED Socrates is. I mean seriously, he\u2019s like 70 in this pic, and he is pretty jacked. He actually wrote about the philosophical benefits of having huge muscles and stuff &#8211; true story.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cNo. 13 (White, Red on Yellow)\u201d by Mark Rothko<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12142\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12142\" style=\"width: 529px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12142\" src=\"https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image5.png 529w, https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image5-402x475.png 402w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12142\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mark Rothko (American (born Russia), Dvinsk 1903\u20131970 New York) | Gift of The Mark Rothko Foundation Inc., 1985<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rothko paintings are pretty weird. Rothko is pretty much the only abstract expressionist painter I can pretend to stand: he was really into the emotional impact of the colors, and what color had to say about our spiritual and inner life. The best part is that he really hated the art world, he actually put his most monumental work in Texas, allegedly so it would be as far away from NY and LA as possible.<\/p>\n<p>He also got a commission once to paint some murals for The Four Seasons, an extremely fancy restaurant in NYC. While traveling, he privately told someone that his goal was to paint <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;something that will ruin the appetite of every son-of-a-bitch who ever eats in that room&#8230;.&#8221; and that he wanted to use his paintings to make people &#8220;feel that they are trapped in a room where all the doors and windows are bricked up, so that all they can do is butt their heads forever against the wall.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cool!<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cMadonna and Child Enthroned with Saints\u201d by Raphael<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12143\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12143\" style=\"width: 483px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12143\" src=\"https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"483\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image7.png 483w, https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image7-367x475.png 367w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12143\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio or Santi) (Italian, Urbino 1483\u20131520 Rome) | Gift of J.

CLASSIC.<\/p>\n<p>This sculpture is probably referencing one of the most famous sculptures ever, called Aphrodite of Knidos. This was an image of Aphrodite covering herself, as though someone just walked in on her taking a bath. A ton of copies were made of this. Allegedly, this \u201coriginal\u201d Aphrodite sculpture was so beautiful that some guys got a little out of control. There is a legend from antiquity that a sailor was once so taken by her beauty that he locked himself in the shrine with her overnight, and the stories actually say there were\u2026 stains\u2026 left on the sculpture. The shrine\u2019s caretaker would also supposedly open the back of the shrine so that you could see her other side\u2026 for a fee, of course.<\/p>\n<h3>Amulet in the Form of a Lion-Headed Goddess<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12145\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12145\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12145\" src=\"https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image1.png 500w, https:\/\/museumhack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/image1-380x475.png 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12145\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Purchase, Edward S.

In her temples they would keep actual lions. People were so into her that we find a ton of these sculptures, sometimes hundreds in a single temple.<\/p>\n<p>She is the daughter of Ra, the sun god. Ra once sent her down to Earth to kill a few people to punish them. The problem was, Sekhmet got a little excited about killing, and started killing everyone. To placate her, Ra set down hundreds of glasses of beer stained red with pomegranate juice, told her it was blood, and she drank them and passed out. Egyptians had a special festival to celebrate this event, where they drank beer stained red with pomegranate juice.<\/p>\n<h3>Ready to continue this wild ride through the Met? <a href=\"https:\/\/museumhack.com\/tours\/new-york-city\/\">Grab a ticket<\/a> to one of our public tours and get ready to get weird.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boasting a collection of more than two million items, it can be difficult to know exactly where to begin during a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
