The MET: Metropolitan Museum Of Art

Never before have I seen a museum as grand as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. From its architecture to its massive art collection, The Met has a little bit of everything and one is sure to find something that captures his or her interest. Considering that The Met is the United States' largest art museum, it is easy to get lost within its many corridors and wings. My visit to The Met took place during the last week of July. Despite the almost unbearable heat and humidity that hung in the air, visiting museums under these climate conditions is a welcome respite from a suffocating, yet bright summer afternoon.

Christian artwork is used to represent and symbolise the Gospel and important figures. Not all individuals could read and write, therefore images were very important in delivering messages and teachings. One artwork chosen is “Annunciation” by John Collier created in 2003. This modern artwork shows Gabriel asking Mary if she would become the mother of Jesus. The other one is the “Holy Night Nativity Scene” by Antonio Correggio created in 1530, which focuses on and sets the scene of Jesus’ birth.

My tour around El Museo Del Barrio in Harlem, New York was a very memorable visit and I got

Among the many artworks I have seen, I decided to discuss about the “Sarcophagus Depicting a Battle between Soldiers and Amazons (Warrior Women)” from the Roman civilization. It was built sometime in between 140 A.D. to 170 A.D and is approximately forty and a half inches in length, ninety-one and a half inches in width, and fifty and a half inches tall in height (“Roman Sarcophagus”). This masterpiece appealed to me because of the unique approach that has been designed to honor the deceased. Many people are familiar with the formatting and inscriptions of a gravestone because it is usually engraved with an individual’s full name, birth date, and death date. During the Roman Empire, a sarcophagus, which is a coffin, was widely used to show decorative themes that includes: battle scenes, hunting scenes, weddings, or other memorable episodes from the life of the deceased individual. The most luxurious ones were made from marble surrounded by symbolic sculptures, figures and inscriptions on all four sides (“Sarcophagus”). Another feature that captured my attention was the large quantity of details used to bring out a lifelike aspect of the deceased individual’s favorable moments in their life. In this artwork, this sarcophagus was dedicated to a Roman commander. The exterior of the sarcophagus has been well-decorated and carved with exquisite details depicting a battle scene

In the Metropolitan Museum of Art, two paintings are exhibited taking place in the 1800s. These artists have similarities and differences viewpoints of the environment in their painting and it helps people get a glance of what the 1800s were like.

Over the thanksgiving break I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met is an art museum in New York City that has a variety of ancient artwork from different cultures and time periods. There is paintings and sculptures from Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome and Greece. The museum is additionally home to artwork from many different time periods including ancient Near Eastern Art, Middle Ages and Europe during the Renaissance. The Met also has artwork from many different religions such as Christianity and Islam. Each section in the museum had a specific artwork that attracted my attention.

The first artwork I looked at was Christ. This piece immediately caught my eye because of the way the artist depicted Christ. He was lifeless, blood dripping from his head, hands, and feet, with his arms outstretched to his sides. With a slimmed down face, and prominent ribs, he looked malnourished and emaciated. Before the 13th Century Christ was shown as a king and Son of God, usually with him standing in front of a cross with his arms stretched to the side, showing truth and faith. But since then artists have been presenting him as he looked on the cross when he was crucified. This is to show the suffering and pain that he went through for his faith. Christians will remember the anguish that Christ went through when they see him on the cross and this helps to remind them to stay close in their faith.

Positioned alongside Central Park within the heart of New York City, The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the largest and most influential art museums in the world. The Met houses an extensive collection of curated works that spans throughout various time periods and different cultures. The context of museums, especially one as influential as the Met, inherently predisposes its visitors to a set of understandings that subtly influence how they interpret and ultimately construct meanings about each individual object within a museum. By analyzing two separate works on exhibit at the Met, I will pose the argument that museums offer a unique expression of a world view that is dictated through every element of its construction.

The modern art exhibit at the metropolitan museum of art on Fifth Avenue in New York City carries many works or art from different artist and following many different styles. The styles here range for Avant-garde, expressionist, abstraction and others. The artists displayed here are many, varying from well-known artist like Picasso and Cezanne too some not so well know artist like Franz Marc and Amedeo Modigliani.

On November 8th, 2016 I took a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, to conduct research on different kinds of art. When I got there I went straight to The Ancient World exhibit to find a piece of artwork that I found fascinating. The moment I took a step through those giant glass doors, I saw the Colossal Statue of King Menkaura. This vast piece of artwork had so much history and detail from one particular era, it was almost breathtaking. As I continued on through The Ancient World exhibit there were many works of art that stood out to me. However it wasn’t until I reached the Greek Mythology portion of the museum when I really found the piece that literally made me gasp. The sculpture of Cupid (Eros) was exactly the type of artwork I was hoping to discover. The sculpture of Cupid (Eros) was simple, yet it also had a complex composition to it.

When I first arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I was eager to discover all the different art forms. It was my first time at the museum; I had no idea where to start. The museum is huge; there are many exhibits to see and the ones that will be coming in the near future. I decided to start from the top to bottom in order to make it easier for myself to leave in the end. My experience, as many others would say was fantastic! While I have been to art museums before, what I encountered was different than I expected. What I discovered was that you couldn't just step into an exhibit and walk through. Once you stepped into an exhibit, you stepped into that time period, into a different world where time stood still as you walked past each work,

One of their most popular artist is Pablo Picasso, were over 1,000 of his artwork stands. Fortunately this museum not only holds Picasso's paintings but 140 of his sculptures as well. Picasso was not an artist that always signed all of his work. One time, he declined signing a canvas he painted, saying he could paint a fake picasso just like anyone else. Another time in 1943

All the sculptures and painting displayed at the gallery helped me to realize how intriguing and exciting art can be. Because of this experience I am more open and willing to visit an art gallery and study artists’ work. Who knows, maybe I might just pick up a paint brush and start painting myself. Overall this was a great experience and has opened my mind and my eyes to a whole new world of

The Denver Art Museum ended up having a very powerful effect on me. I had never analyzed art like that before, so it was the best experience for me in the area of visual art category, It was important to me because it gave me the opportunity to notice every little detail that could help me connect to the idea of the Artwork and I also realize how we all human race have so much in common, whether we grew up in a different culture or not. And this reality of commonality is reflected beautifully by the power
