Moon in the darkness

The moon in the darkness image is one of the controversial Monalisa genre images. The image shows an innocent woman closing her eyes in some sought of mediation. A woman who can be judged to have come from a much higher social class. The image depicts the nature of feminine authorities, which prevailed at the time. Images developed around this time focused on three central themes, classism, realism and romanticism. In particular, romanticism was associated with feminine pictures.

The complex literature techniques employed in this image seeks to communicate a wider message to the audience community. The central message being communicated is a revolutionary idea of women assuming a higher social, economic and political role of the then societies. In this case, it is positive to note by medieval European times, the role of women in the society was heavily relegated to reproducing and nurturing. Other roles included farm produce and domestic chores. Whereas men, on the other hand, were ignited in the decision making process. This kind of biasness lost significant influence in most conventional societies. On the other hand, liberal societies; for instance, the American society were improvising proactive ideologies of women emancipation. As a result, these ideologies found their way in European artistic world.

The impacts of this image seconded by liberal ideologies of the time were vital in affirming the role of the women in the society. Women were now being understood as equal partners to the then patriarch societies. For example, women could have power to contribute to vital policy and management goals equally as men. In an analysis, art presents a liberal approach in affirming the importance of different genders and social classes to the general society. The Moon in the darkness presents a close replica of this kind of communication.
