Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's The Immaculate Conception

Barna da Siena’s Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine and Other Scenes from 1340 is vastly different in content, composition, and a number of other attributes from Fra Carnevale’s 1467 painting Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple. It is clear between the roughly hundred years between when the two were painted that advancements in realistic painting soared and a further appreciation for realism and humanism developed. The need to portray more than just the holy subjects, and to show how far painting had evolved is evident in the differences between Barna and Fra Carnevale’s works. Although, the emotion behind Barna’s work, and its significance are, in my eyes, far greater than that of Fra Carnevale’s.

This oil on canvass depicts the moment when Christ, a divine spirit embodied in flesh, was born in Bethlehem. The painting is filled with all living things rejoicing as radiant beams of clean white light bounce from the birth and back to the heavens above. The painting is full of opalescent colors that bring a sense of calm. As you are drawn in your eyes reach the elegant curvature of the angel’s

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.

I’ve focused on three art pieces which are so beautiful to me. The statue of The Maltese Virgin and Child at the Chancery House with the virgin holding baby in her arms with both looking into the sky, a Byzantine painting from the Byzantinscher Maler Jahrhunderts with the virgin holding child in her lap with baby looking at her and virgin looking at us and lastly, a marble statue located at The Metropolitan Museum of Art of the virgin sitting down holding child in her lap looking into baby’s eyes and baby looking into hers.

In the mission district, I saw a really impressive picture that is not related to Cinco de Myo but I want to write about it. The painting is drawn all over the wall. The name of the building is “Women’s Building.” I have never seen such a huge wall painting. The painting is a collaboration of seven women’s artists. It is drawn women who were active in the 20th century. The building will have been protecting diverse

By most accounts, the year 1500 was in the midst of the height of the Italian Renaissance. In that year, Flemmish artist Jean Hey, known as the “Master of Moulins,” painted “The Annunciation” to adorn a section of an alter piece for his royal French patrons. The painting tells the story of the angel Gabriel’s visit to the Virgin Mary to deliver the news that she will give birth to the son of God. As the story goes, Mary, an unwed woman, was initially terrified about the prospects of pregnancy, but eventually accepts her fate as God’s servant. “The Annunciation” is an oil painting on a modest canvas, three feet tall and half as wide. The setting of the painting is a study, Mary sitting at a desk in the bottom right hand corner

A hero is commonly defined by actions which help and aid others. Notable heroes sacrifice their own wants for the greater good of others, act courageously, and break the norm. The infamous Don Giovanni in Mozart’s Don Giovanni does not fit the conventional idea of a hero. Although he acts with courage in odd circumstances and appears to adapt radical Enlightenment values, he does not act in the interest of others. As an 18th century womanizer, or libertine, all sacrifices made by Giovanni throughout the plot are to serve his own impulses.

As a part of our museum visit, we went to Meadows Museum on November 6, 2016 at 1:30 pm, which is located in Dallas, TX. We saw many different paintings in the Meadows Museum gallery. Among them, my favorite artwork was “The Immaculate Conception” (1695-1720), which was created by Antonio De Palomino Y Velasco (1655-1726). I could not take off my eyes from this painting as it was very beautiful and attractive to me. This painting was one of the famous artworks in the history of Golden Age Spanish painting. This piece of artwork was termed as an oil on canvas.

“Double Portrait of Giovanni and His Wife” is a 1434 oil painting by Jan van Eyck. It´s a complex artwork that creates the illusion of a tridimensional space, going beyond the depth of a limited room. The usage of daylight from an open-window on the piece evokes space in a dark interior. This light illuminates the faces and gives intensity to the shades of the contrast places as the glowing colors highlight realism. The painting presents precise details and lines that have a geometric perspective and give a sense of textures, especially on the clothing of the figures. It portrays the idea of beauty, wealth and authority. As an example, the representation of Giovanni and his wife wearing costly clothing and the details around their bedroom, such as the chandelier, the oriental carpet and the

Saint Mary Magdalene was a Christian figure depicted either as Jesus’s wife or a prostitute or sometimes even both. The Western Church claims she was a prostitute who was saved by Jesus. The other churches claim she is merely an apostle who followed Jesus. Most can agree she was a believer and a follower but whether she was close to Jesus or not is still being debated. She was indeed a repented whore but she must’ve been much closer to Jesus than what has been told.

Leonardo da Vinci was a true renaissance man. He was mostly self educated and became a painter, architect, inventor, and scientist. He is best known for his paintings, two of the most famous are Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. He filled notebooks with complex sketches and secret notes, and had ideas for inventions that would come decades later. He had a love of science and he has many theories and observations on subjects from aeronautics to anatomy. He is considered to be a genius and one of the mostly widely talented people in history.

It is difficult to determine who truly captured the spirit of the Renaissance due to the wide range of characteristics that defined the time period. These characteristics ranged from science and art to religion and philosophy. The Renaissance was the collaboration of many historical figures who contributed to scientific, artistic, political, religious and architectural advancements. Crediting one historical figure for capturing the spirit of the renaissance required a lot of speculation and analysis, but it was Leonardo Da Vinci who ultimately possessed the traits that generally defined the Renaissance.

The Holy Virgin Mary was created by Chris Ofili in 1996. It is a mixed media painting, including paper collage, oil paint, glitter, polyester resin, map pins and elephant dung on linen with the size of 243.8 cm X 182.9 cm. The artwork portrays Mary, a black virgin, wearing a blue cape covers from her head down to her body. The cape wraps around her body, leaving an open space that reveals her right breast that was actually a dried lump of elephant dung. The woman was positioned standing in the center on a yellow-orange background with swirly lines that created a little detail in the background.

The present work is focused on undertaking an in-depth analysis of two famous religious paintings: The Virgin and Child by Barnaba da Modena, an Italian painter from the fourteenth century, and The Elevation of the Cross by Peter Paul Rubens, a seventeenth century Flemish artist and diplomat. Following, by comparison, a thorough account of the two works' features, careful observation reveals more than one interpretation.

Who would have thought that a rural boy would become one of the greatest minds of history? This boy was born during the Italian Renaissance, a time of great rebirth and renewed interest in cultural arts (Leonardo artist page 3). His name was Leonardo da Vinci, and he was born in April 15, 1452 (Leonardo artist page 9). Many would call Leonardo “a jack of all trades; master of none,” yet possibly he was a master of all (Leonardo artist page 4). He had achieved many talents and countless accomplishments (page 4). A genius at heart, Leonardo had many jobs and careers: “a painter, a sculptor, an inventor, an engineer, a writer, an architect, and… a scientist.” (Leonardo artist page 5) An excellent observer, he would often study his
