Metropolitan Museum Of Art Analysis

“Vrrrrrrrr” sounds the fans cooling the projectors displaying video instillations of Terry Berkowitz “the last supper”. As I strolled into this gallery, I instantly thought of both “ted talks” we previously had this semester and how the artist we using rather unconventional means to portray their art. In visiting the Boca Museum Of Art I observed 3 specific pieces that tied into lessons I’ve come to learn more about in this semester.

The Brooklyn Museum hosts around 1.5 million works of art of different variations. One particularly fascinating genre is the Ancient Egypt exhibition. On the third floor, the exhibit is split into two sections: Early and New Kingdom, which is separated by a conjoined gallery. Entering into the conjoined gallery, artifacts from both eras are encased in rectangular glass. On the left, is the entrance to the New Kingdom Wing. In this section, a string of spotlights illuminates each encasement with a golden warm hue. Inside some cases are miniature shaved skulls placed upon a singular black pole. In others are lapis jewelry, and fragments of etched clay pottery. Further into the exhibit is yet another enclosed space. The walls are painted midnight black and the lighting is dimmed. There are rows of laid canvas wrapped mummies and tablet remnants all separated in glass.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is a very beautiful, calm, and peaceful museum. My first impression of this museum was that it was a very unique museum because of the paintings and structures. Any museum would have its attractions like the Getty has the train ride and maze garden the LACMA has the Urban lights that everyone from around the world comes to visit. The LACMA has a variety of age groups that come and visit from teenagers to older people. From what I saw most people were dressed casually.

The Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art is home to a variety of interesting paintings, sculptures, and other types of mixed-media artwork.

On November 24th, 2015, I went on quite an enjoyable adventure to the Timken Museum of Art. I wondered around the whole museum, but specifically spent a significant amount of time examining the Russian icons gallery. This was undeniably a unique style of art that was unlike anything I have ever seen before. For many reasons, the works made me feel very strange and uncomfortable as I looked at them. While the works are remarkable, the majority of them look bizarre and evoke an enormous sense of curiosity. Although the appearance of the images is unappealing to me, this trip impacted my view of world history in a dramatic way.

I was required to go visit at Dallas Art Museum from Art Appreciation class. I went to the Dallas Art Museum and look through the art gallery. I was assigned to identify and write about six different function of art. The six function of art was maintained in the Patrick Frank book Artforms. The six function of art were Art of Delight, Art of Worship and Ritual, Art of commemoration, Art of commentary, Art of persuasion, and Art of Self-Expression. I was told by professor to write a four-page paper base of the six function of art that I was in museum. In the museum there was variety of art from different cultures and country. The histories of art were inside Dallas Museum of Art, many artist artworks were presented and many Gods sculptures and painting were displayed. There were many

The museum I went to was the Orlando Museum of Art and the painting I choose to analysis is Soupe D’ane by Miquel Barcelo. This oil painting on canvas was made in 1992. Barcelo depicts donkeys in a bowl being made into soup.

The New York Metropolitan Museum offers a vast variety of virtual tours which includes artistic exhibits from historic Europe. In addition to the multitude of current exhibits, the museum offers to the public for free, access to previous exhibits. The exhibit chosen for the tour, “Drawings and Prints: Selections from the Permanent Collection”, was presented from April 12 through July 18, 2016. The collection highlights not only American but also European prints, drawings, and books containing illustrations. Most of the art was available for viewing, and were displayed in the Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Gallery, ranging from the Renaissance to the present. While some pieces were not on view during the exhibit,

The Cleveland Museum of Art possess a collection of more than 30,000 works of art that ranges over 5,000 years (Ancient Egypt to present) from Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. The museum opened on June 6, 1916 to give people access to physically visualize works of art created by intellectuals and to honor and appreciate the complexity of their art and legacy they left for us. This year makes the Cleveland Museum of Art’s centennial, 100-year anniversary, so institutions around the world loaned works of art to the museum for a beautiful exhibition. In the Cleveland Museum of Art’s permanent collection, it includes one of Nicolas Poussin’s greatest accomplishment, The Holy Family on the Steps.

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 Mérode Altarpiece by the Master of Flémalle is an oil painting on 3 wooden panels whose specific date of creation is likely between 1425 and 1430. This hinged triptych is relatively small in size measuring slightly over 2 feet tall and about 4 feet wide with its two winged panels open. The Mérode Altarpiece belongs to a group of paintings associated with a Tournai workshop led by Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle, whose workshop fostered some of the earliest and most outstanding painters who were pioneers of the new Flemish style. The Mérode Altarpiece’s central and largest panel depicts the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel visited the Virgin Mary to announce her pregnancy with Jesus. The right panel portrays Joseph in a workshop setting while the left panel shows an image of the donors kneeling in a closed garden. Artwork of this type was made primarily to serve as a visual reminder of scenes from the Bible, specifically

The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.

Approximately two centuries after the death of Jesus Christ religious iconography began. During the Medieval period art iconography related to the texts found in the Bible. This paper will analyze two arts containing Christian iconography that illustrate the return of naturalism. This paper will analyze the iconography of two medieval works from the early medieval period (500-1200) and one from the late medieval period (1200-1400). Both works of art depict the crucifixion of Jesus Christ (John 19:17-37). According to the Bible, Jesus was loathed by the Jewish leaders because he preached of God and people listened, believed, and followed him. For this reason the Jewish leaders ordered him to be killed. Jesus was taken to Pilate and placed

This extraordinary work by Carpaccio is a landmark in the history of devotional images. It is, in effect, a meditation on the them of Death and Resurrection. To the right, the Old Testament figure Job sits on a block inscribed in pseudo-Hebrew, while on the left, portrayed as a hermit, is Saint Jerome (ca. 347 -420), who wrote a commentary on the book of Job. Christ’s dead body is displayed on a broken throne, also inscribed in pseudo-Hebrew. A bird—symbol of the soul —flies upwards. The landscape, barren on the
