The prayer book of Anne de Bretagne, painted by the artist Jean Poyer, though containing only thirty-one folios, presents a wealth of material to study and interpret.

The contemporary art I'm describing is a concept art from the video game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which was drawn by Yoji Shinkawa. The artwork shows a soldier with a gun and a tiny robot next to him, as the soldier is confronted with an enormous machine.

simply new renditions of the original ones that were made by Velazquez. They also have differences because Picasso had a very different art style from Velazquez. They had many paintings that were remade by picasso years after to bring back the art of Velazquez the royal painter. That was just kind of Picasso’s style.Their paintings had a lot of differences.

Pablo Picasso and Francisco José de Goya were two artists that lived in completely different time periods and painted in very different styles. Goya painted frescos and court paintings while picasso dabbled in cubism and surrealism. However, like most artists, they both went through many changes and transitions throughout their lives as painters, and their desire to think outside the box and experiment with techniques that had never been used before reveal similarities in their work that may go unnoticed

He was heavily involved with the Baroque period, which valued contrast, movement, and extreme detail; such features were all typical of Velazquez’s paintings.
