A Comparison between Artists

Today I will be comparing these two late Medieval Italian paintings which have a story that arranged throughout the chapel, both paintings show Mary saying goodbye to her late son, Jesus.

Art is able to transport its viewer through time and connect us as a community. Audiences are able to infer the content and context of the artwork. Art displayed through different mediums and about different topics can share many similarities and draw connections between one another. Exodus, created by Shelby Lechman (2015), uses oil paint on canvas to depict a young boy and father in a train car, leaving their home in Hungary during the time of the Hungarian Revolution (fig.1). Back into the Earth: Creation and the Interpretation of Meaning, created by Tamara Himmelspach (2015) is a series of 11 prints and a physical dress displaying the designer in a jingle dress representing the traditions of the Ojibwa culture

Throughout history the unique and changeable Australian landscape has inspired a diverse array of artistic responses. Impressios of its power and beauty, expressions of individuals' responses, symbolic religious orientation, the range of landscape art works extends onwards. A great example of the vast variations of styles can be seen in the artworks of Glover, Drysdale, Berkowitz and Reid.

In this paper, I will describe, compare, and contrast two paintings of the same name, The Annunciation by Gerard David and Joos van Cleve. Beginning with Joos van Cleve’s work, we see the virgin Mary kneeling down before an opened book. An illuminated dove with its wings spread is suspended above Mary. An angel is standing beside her, making a gesture. Both figures are inside an ornately decorated, well lit bedroom.

The Madonna watches fondly as her young son and his cousin get acquainted. Mary introducing Jesus and John the Baptist is an iconic image, especially around the Renaissance Period. The unknown object being studied in this paper is Image #3, which is one such illustration that depicts this classical scene. The Madonna in the Meadow by Raphael made in 1505-1506 is the art that was selected to compare to Image #3. The Madonna in the Meadow was chosen because the unknown artwork shares a similar topic and style as the one depicted by Raphael. The Renaissance period is characterized by an art style looking back to ancient Greek and Roman art, exploring depth and naturalism in a picture through techniques like foreshortening and linear perspective, and the use of oil paint over fresco and tempera during the early 15th century. Image #3 shares these traits in that it appears to use oil paint as a medium, the ancient Greek style that can be seen in elements like the column in the background, and the use of linear perspective. Raphael’s art shows traits of ideal beauty and perfect figures, which Image #3 seems to imitate, and use of oil paint as a Renaissance painter to achieve deeper shading and a broader range of colors. Therefore, Image #3 seems to be from the Renaissance Period around the 16th century because of the material depicted and the style which is somewhat reminiscent of Raphael.

Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gough and Georgia O'Keeffe are all famous for their eloquent works of art. Although, I am no Picasso I do enjoy painting. When I was younger, you could often find me hanging out in the kitchen with my Nana (I am not allowed to call her grandma- long story). My eyes would get lost in the smooth color as we swirled the different colors together. Painting became sort of my Nana and I's special thing. As I grew visiting my Nana became less and less often along with creating my paintings.

Bright colors jumping at you asking for attention, images so real viewers can not tell the difference. These are the thoughts that came to my head as I gazed at two works of art by two Mexican artists at MoLAA museum of art . I visited two museums, Bowers Museum of cultural Art in the heart of Southern California and the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach for my report unfortunately I only liked the works in MoLAA and will talk about it through out my paper. I will talk about two Mexican artists Rafael Cauduro and David Alfaro Siqueros that caught my eye, and made me want to learn more of them and their approach to art. Siqueiros caught my eye and interest because according to his biography “no

‘The Holy Trinity’ (fig. 1) was a fresco painting created in 1428. It is currently in the Dominican church of Santa Maria Novella, in Florence and was believed to have been commissioned by the Domenico Lenzi and his wife. It is both a religious and secular painting. It portrays the Trinity of God the Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Ghost, which is symbolized by a white dove. Masaccio uses a scientific approach by creating an illusion of space within the painting. When the viewer walks into the Santa Maria Novella, they are confronted by a painting that looks realistic but is quite strange. ‘The Holy Trinity’ simulates a real

The Holy Trinity by Masaccio was a painting done in approximately 1428. It is a

The Trinity’s subject matter is both religious and secular; religious, being a depiction of one of the most sacred biblical scriptures; secular, in which the benefactors of the painting are portrayed as individuals present at the scene of Christ’s crucifixion. The late fourteenth century underwent stylistic reversals after the plague ravaged through Europe. The humanistic style of Giotto had reverted back to a less spatial, more linear style which flattened out two dimensional illustrations. As stated by Kloss: “but it remained for Masaccio, in the wake of the stylistic reversals that we saw in the late 14th

Throughout history, people have used paintings and art as a tool to express their religious beliefs and values. Illustrations depicting the Virgin Mary and child, often referred to as Madonna and Child, are one of the most recurring images in Christian and European Art through the ages. Though these paintings and sculptures may have similarities in their iconography and style each work of art varies based on the different artists’ and time periods. Two paintings that portray these features currently reside in the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. The first, Virgin and Child by Rogier van der Wyden, was originally painted after 1454. In the painting, the Virgin Mary is holding Christ against her shoulder as he twists around to face toward the viewers. The second painting is Virgin and Child with a Donor, painted by Antoniazzo Romano and originally painted c. 1480. In this painting, Virgin Mary is supporting Christ who seems to be standing and includes a figure of a man with his hands crossed in prayer. While both paintings depict the mother and child, there are both similarities and differences in style and portrayal. In this paper, I will thoroughly examine these traits, as well as address the similarities and differences associated with the two paintings. This analysis will be done by using information gained from reading Gardner’s Art Through the Ages, in class lectures from ARTH 1381 Art and Society Renaissance to Modern and ARTH 1300 Ways of Seeing Art, and close visual

The Roman Christian Art also known as byzantine Art marks the beginning of religious art and the image of Jesus. Which emerged after Christianity become the dominate religion in Rome around the 2nd century. One the oldest images of Christ comes from the mid-3rd century, it is young Jesus as the Good Shepherd from the Catacombs of San Callisto. In this fresco Jesus is portrayed as a young shepherd holding a sheep on his shoulders. A shepherd guides and direct his sheep. This has a symbolic meaning, in the bible (John 10:1-21; Luke 15:1-7 and 11-32). Jesus represented as the good Shepard and we are his sheep. It also states that as the shepherd he will look for the lost sheep (sinners) and rejoice when it is found. The painting explains how Jesus will help protect and guide you in the right direction. This was a way of telling passages of the bible to the people who were illiterate.

The setting with which the Merode altarpiece depicts sets it aside from that of many other Early Renaissance paintings. Traditionally, the setting of most Gothic and Early Renaissance paintings was within a church or palace set on a gold background. Campin and his assistants however went with a

This essay will compare and contrast the work of two sculptors who use the human form as a basis of their artwork. The first sculpture “Apollo and Daphne” by Gian Lorenzo Bernini was created in 1622 and portrays a Romanian story. Where as “Two Women” by Ron Mueck is a hyper realistic sculpture made by an Australian contemporary artist.

Star artists inspired him. Hayao Miyazaki was only one of many during postwar Japan who wanted to become a comic artist (master). Like many others, Miyazaki would look to star artists, such as Osamu Tezuka, Tetsuji Fukushima, and Zohei Shiratsuchi, for inspiration. Of the three, Tezuka, who was named “the manga god” by fans, had the ingrained effect on Miyazaki. Miyazaki has written in a Tezuka memorial collection:
