art show included a total of 7 paintings. After viewing the entire show two painting stuck out to me the most. “Network” and “Origin”. My fear of large bodies of water is what brought me to these paintings. I was curious to know more. I could not help but to make my own meaning of the paintings.

Did she feel the same way I

Las Meninas is a pictorial summary and a commentary on the essential mystery of

The paintings Salome with the Head of St. John the Baptist, by Guido Reni and Cupid Chastised, by Bartolomeo Manfredi are both 17th century visual representations of a story. The story behind Salome is the interesting biblical story of the beheading of St. John the Baptist, as it’s title suggests. The story goes that Salome performed a dance for the king and his guests. Herod Antipas saw Salome’s dance and was so impressed, and drunk, that he promised to give her whatever she asked of him. After

removing whole frescoes from their walls intact, was called in to remove the painting to a safer location. Barezzi did not know that the painting was not actually a fresco and badly damaged the center section of the piece. He attempted to reattach the damaged sections with glue, but was not successful. After this event, a lot of examining and studying was done on the paintings’ structure so that in future attempts the painting would not be damaged. Many more artists attempted to clean the piece, although

show how man is destroying the natural wilderness in favor of agricultural advancement. I believe Cole purposely avoided the appearance of unity in this painting. The separation between the two landscapes was not a peaceful transition. He wanted to show the diversity between the natural land from the cultivated land. I believe this painting is intentionally asymmetrical. Again, Cole wanted to show the non-peaceful transition between the two landscapes. I

are both oil paintings on canvas. Spring Rain, from the school of Impressionistic art, was painted in 1912. Summertime, which possesses a simplified, schematic style, was created over thirty years later, in 1943. Therefore, there are extreme differences in the two artists’ technique and style.

Portrait of a Young Man. Portrait of a Young Man was painted by Angolo Bronzino between the years of 1503-1572. The portrait is 37 5/8 by 29 ½ inches and is an oil on wood( Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1999).

After studying the portrait for a considerable amount of time I began to see possible sadness or self-doubt
