Art Word of the Day: Attribute

in #wordoftheday6 years ago

Term: Attribute

Definition: An object often associated with

a person, character, or office. Examples are the crown jewels of a king, the trident of Neptune, and the caduceus of a physician.(pr. AT-trə-byoot)Artworks in which attributes are important elements: Johan Gregor van der Schardt (Dutch, 1530- about 1580), Mercury, Bologna, Italy, 1570-1580, bronze, height 45 1/4 inches (115 cm), J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, CA. Van der Schardt has given Mercury several attributes that signify his speediness: his sandals and hat bear wings. The caduceus he carries remind us of Mercury's role as patron of science. Mercury is the Roman name for the god called Hermes by Greeks.



Art Word of the Day


Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more art knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many comprehensive and complete online art dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile my own.
