To begin, the two paintings have in common is the obvious aspects of the settings being outside. Also, they both show sign of civilization with people being the subject and having some sort of housing in the works. “February, Tres Riches Heures of Jean Duc de Berry” and “Poet on a Mountain Top”, also have some similarities in their brush work, there is amazing in the nature and settings of these two paintings. Finally, both works have some type of inscription on them. These two pieces do not have much in common aside from a few things, their contrasts will be up for discussion next.
The first difference spotted between these two is that “Poet on a Mountain Top”, is in black and white, and “February, Tres Riches Heures of Jean Duc de Berry” is painted in color. Aside from that, “February, Tres Riches Heures of Jean Duc de Berry”, is part of a prayer book and “Poet on a Mountain Top” is a literati painting, meaning that it was not painted for money but was just meant for someone else to have. Next, “Poet on a Mountain Top” has a scholar in the picture finding the spirit in nature, and, “February, Tres Riches Heures of Jean Duc de Berry” expresses what it is like to a peasant in the winter. Also, “Poet on a Mountain Top” has a poem inscribed on it, while, “February, Tres Riches Heures of Jean Duc de Berry” has a zodiac calendar inscribed on the top. In, “February, Tres Riches Heures of Jean Duc de Berry” it gives more of a depressing feel with the peasants losing their crops
Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet are two highly influential contributors to the art world. Both are renowned artists whose creations are on display in several art museums throughout the world. They are two artistic geniuses who are more alike than they appear to be. While there are many similarities between the lives and art of these two prodigies there are numerous differences as well in their technique/style, subject matter, and personal lives.
The speaker is Baron de Breteuil, a French diplomat from Moscow. The speaker is credible because even though he acknowledges how certain aspects of her reign will flourish and how her passion proves useful in Russian society, he does mention negative vices that will inflict havoc upon her sovereignty and ultimately lead to internal faults in her empire.
The next difference that stands out between the two poems is the different tones in the speakers. In the poem by Robert Hayden, the tone comes off as having sadness and regret towards the speaker’s father. The poem says, “What did I know, what did I know of loves austere and lonely offices?” (13). In this writing, the speaker is now older and is looking back on what her father did for her as a child to show his love. She is sad now because, in her mind, she thought that her father did not care about her, but looking back she can clearly see that he loves her, which now makes her regret her relationship with him. In the poem by Lucille Clifton, the tone of the speaker can be perceived as the speaker being bitter and angry towards her father because he never bothered to take care of her and her mother both emotionally and financially. Clifton writes, “But you were the only son of a needy father, and the father of a needy son; you gave her all you had which was nothing” (12). The speaker’s father never gave his family anything, therefore, the speaker wants everything she never got in return. Both of these poems tie into theme in a certain way. “Those Winter Sundays” tone ties back to theme because they deal with regret and sadness because of the love the speaker never knew as a child.
Seurat and Monet both approach the same ideas and concepts to create too very separate and unique works that actually have a lot in common in subject matter as well as both historically and stylistically. Overall, both paintings, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat and La Grenouillère by Claude Monet, are excellent
Their individual perspectives in life ultimately shaped their education, experiences and overall point of view. This essay will outline the similarities and differences in subject matter, tone and imagery of these two artists’ bodies of work.
When you first look at the two painting they appear to be completely different,but on a second and closer look there are many striking similarities. First looking at it they don’t look anything alike they appear to be portraying the same event. Looking at the outline of Picasso’s paintings you see the resemblance of Velazquez painting.There are many similarities between both paintings. One similarity is that both painting have attendants dressing her. Another similarity is she is wearing a hoop skirt. The broach on her chest she is wearing seems to be the same in both paintings.

While both pieces of Art have men as their main focus the techniques used to bring the pieces to life are greatly different
Although these paintings were painted two hundred and seventeen years apart, they share some similar artistic qualities, but they are not so similar as to be indistinguishable from their own time period. Both Jan Steen and Vincent Van Gogh paint subjects around the table with hats and head coverings, a vanity that seems to stretch through both time periods and up to the modern era as well. The visual textures of both paintings are very similar as well. Each painting gives the illusion of a soft table covering and hard surroundings. In each painting the subjects are enjoying a vice, smoking in The Merry Family and Coffee in The Potato Eaters. The focal point of both paintings is similar too. In each the viewer’s attention is pulled to the table itself and is hastening to observe the people gathered around it. That seems to be where the similarities stop. Jan Steen uses a warm palette with a daytime natural lighting that plays across the painting from the window. In contrast, Van Gogh uses a cool palette and paints his scene at night using the whispering light of an overhead lantern.
Eventhough they differ heavily at the base level they are similar. Neither artist have an underlying symbol to thier work. They just want to entertain and invoke emotions through thier work. They also don't focus on anything in particular with thier work. Art is art in the end of the day and they both show elemnts in thier work. Both of them use this to create work that is interesting to

Lines, shape and composition are arranged in a baker-like fashion with cylindrical lines and elliptical shadows. Both Frida Kahlo and Wayne Theibaud use the same art mediums, oil on canvas and their compositions do not portray much movement, seeming more picture-esq, however both seem to be drawn from life rather than media.
Have you ever thought how we discovered science and technology or have the ability to read and write or to have the freedom to express our opinions? It was due to four brave men and their beliefs; therefore, none of these events would ever happen. These four men are Isaac Newton, who invented modern science. Denis Diderot who challenged the church on knowledge and wrote the first encyclopedia also known as the “Engine of the Enlightenment”. Marquis de Pombal, who built a modern city for the people of Lisbon. Erasmus Darwin who discovered a deep mounted. These discoveries made a huge difference in today’s society.
Both artists were local sculptors and commissioned by wealthy guilds. At the time works that represented the history of the city carried great importance. Many wanted their roles in society to be remembered while the usual pieces of art pertained to religious allegories and purposes.
These two-artist share similar characteristics such as using the effect of chiaroscuro, but they both also have an example of trompe l’ oeil. Trompe l’ oeil is a technique that artist use to display a visual illusion in art by making it three-diemensional. Notice how both the sword and blood in Caravaggios work, Judith Beheading Holofernes, seems to be well detailed and projecting outwards and in Promissory Note, both the rabbit and the hand holding the litmus note are also well defined and given that three-diemensional look that gives the visual illusion of coming out of the
Everyone has been created unique and there is no other that is the like anyone else. People think different, dress different and like and dislike certain things. This is similar to the artists of the nineteenth century including Pierre Etienne Theodore Rousseau and Joseph Mallord William Turner. They are both artists during the nineteenth century and were painted at the same time; however, there is a difference between their styles, their point of view, and the scenery. However there are similarities between the two paintings. The paintings that will be compared and contrasted are “Under the Birches, Evening” and “The Campo Santo, Venice.”
