Art in quarantine and viral diseases
Introduction
Throughout the history of humanity, there have been different types of viral diseases, many have slightly whipped inhabitants of some parts of the world, others, however, have strongly whipped people from all over the world, becoming viral diseasesIn great pandemics that have led humanity to have to keep social distancing and remain a great time in quarantine to avoid major infections. These great pandemics, however, have not prevented the development of art around the world. Many people take advantage of this time to create dances worthy of admiration, others dedicate their time to painting, while many are the artists who take advantage of these times to give virtual concerts and encourage thousands of people who keep quarantine in their homes in their homes
Developing
Pandemic time dance. In all periods of history, humanity has been the victim of innumerable epidemics. In the time of the Justinian Emperor, the Byzantine Empire was beaten by what would be known as the Bubonic plague (year 541). Initially, people, possessed of horror, danced in processions or circles, in separate groups – men and women -. Circle dance was known as "Syrtos" –Geranos– and the dance leader, Koryphaios, ensured that the circle was maintained, but the authorities forced the dancers to retire to their homes. According to historians, the order was fulfilled during the long pandemic period. In the low Middle Ages, in the mid -fourteenth century, the largest epidemic exploded in Europe: the black plague;crazy men and women wandered from one town to another. The "plague" was considered as divine punishment, and affected everyone, rich and poor. Then the so -called Macabra Dance or the Dance of Death resurfaced.
Second, during quarantine times and viral diseases, many people are dedicated to expressing themselves through painting, thus contributing to the development of art, even in chaos times. Such is the case of many artists, for example, during the black plague, many artists in their works reflect a high interest in death, such is the case of the flamenco painter Pieter Brueghel "El Viejo", in his motley and impressive painting theTriumph of death (1560) reflects a fatalistic vision, caught perfectly. Another work is "La Piedad", by Tizian. It is an emotional confession of despair. Tiziano painted this twilight image when Venice hit the plague. We can also find ‘The four riders of the Apocalypse’, by Durero (1498) This wood engraving that interprets the book of Apocalypse identifies the three worst murderers of humanity: war, hunger and pestilence. The rider, probably, is the plague, although in some interpretations it is identified with the goalkeeper, by the arrows of a plague attack that is not really seen. The seven works of mercy ’, by Caravaggio (1607) is another painting that we can appreciate from the black plague, one of the most distressing consequences of those pandemics was that the dead could not be buried decently. This work represents solidarity among the Christian community, according to Caravaggio. In this gloomy vision of the artist, some people perform good works in the streets of Naples, like a priest, who raises a torch while a man is taken to his burial at night. Samson appears pouring water to another man from the jaw of an ass. A woman breastfeed her father. "An episode of yellow fever in Buenos Aires, 1871" by Juan Manuel Blanes, represents the yellow fever epidemic that took place in January 1871, in the city of Buenos Aires. "The cry" by Edvard Munch, a work that shows a person screaming and his pain seems to dye his entire surroundings, with this picture, Munch reflected the anguish that he felt, because his life was marked by the disease and tragedy. His mother and sister died of tuberculosis and he was affected by the Spanish flu epidemic that took place in 1918. These and many other artists have contributed, through their painting, to the development of art even in catastrophic times.
Thirdly, the world is currently being whipped by the Pandemia of the Corona Virus, and many artists have been performing virtual concerts such as moral support for people from all over the world. Among one of the first artists to perform virtual concerts are Alejandro Sanz and Juanes, these two singers were one of the first to join the movement to sing some of their live songs on YouTube also the Mexican composer and singer Ximena Sariñana, playedThrough Instagram some of his successes accompanied by his piano interacting with his fans, also the television television network, organized a festival where several artists would sing from his home to the public.
conclusion
In conclusion, art around the world has never stopped because of the different pandemics that have hit humanity, rather these have served as reference points for the creation of different artistic currents such as dance, paintingAnd music, since artists of the different aspects have taken advantage of that time to express themselves through the different media.
