Clumps of dirt are wedged into the cracks of the floor of the entryway, brought in from father’s boots, and pushed in deeper by mother’s aggressive sweeping. A gorgeous painting of the Valley is hung on the wall over the grand fireplace, the paint peeling just barely at the edges. A thick, red rug blankets the floor, and a worn in couch is set by the fireplace. Sage slowly descended the creaky ladder of the attic down into

the accusal of Peter for being a disciple of Jesus. Painted in 1610 on oil on canvas as was the emerging medium of paintings during the Italian Renaissance. It is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Caravaggio and Southern Italy room in the European paintings department. Caravaggio’s piece is relatively medium sized and place directly at eye-level. In this painting, he is being accused by the woman to the soldier. Caravaggio portrays the story of the Denial of St. Peter, as told

perfect use for it. I placed the heart shaped key in the box and continued my walk. As I started to feel heavy drops of water hitting my raincoat, I changed my pace from a leisure walk to a hurried jog. What hours ago looked like a colorful abstract painting, now looked like a slimey mix of dirt and leaves. As I now tried to avoid the piles of leaves I earlier was eager to fall on, I saw a glass water bottle on the ground. If not for its eye catching label design, I would have glossed over it. At first

visited the Denver Art Museum in Denver, Colorado. The piece of art I decided to write about is called “A Mountain Symphony (Longs Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado)” This two-dimensional oil on canvas painting was completed in America in 1927 by Sven Birger Sandzén. This painting has not been on public view since 1927 and is located in the Denver Art Museum in Denver, Colorado. It was a “Free Day” at the museum, so I decided to attend by myself. I was unable to get a picture of myself in

This painting, similar to other Magritte's paintings has to make a person consider what one sees and identify what it is in reality. In this painting, the artist raises a question of how we look at the world and how we see it, which was often seen in psychology as the defining element for description of human

resemblance of the royal elite class. Most of Goya’s paintings capture the sensitivity of artistic techniques through brushstrokes. Some of Goya’s artistic works introduce to the audience, a world of ghosts, witches and other creatures, which invade the mind and include nightmarish visions. Goya’s famous

Boston Cremes. Wayne Thiebaud, 1962, (14 in. x 18 in. Crocker Art Museum) This painting is done with oil on canvas. The painting itself holds visual texture and substance. The repetition and sorting is well executed. With some other works, subject matter which is so simple can come off as bland and boring. Yet Thiebaud was able to turn something so simple into a beautiful piece of art. Wayne Thiebaud uses heavy pigment and defined shadowing. All while the attention to detail is divine. With the well

The article, “Power, Privilege, and Landscape in Minoan Art” by Anne P. Chapin, seeks to examine the previous interpretations of Minoan landscape frescoes, and add her own arguments towards the debate of religious versus secular. She presents the conclusion that while Minoan landscape art did have religious elements, the frescos presence was not an indication of a religious shrine.However, she also introduces the idea that they helped to assert the dominance of an elite class, who sought to demonstrate

(Brown 1). During his time, painting was considered a craft, which is work done with hands rather than the mind, meaning it was unworthy of a nobleman (Carr 26). Velázquez was sent to Franciso Pacheco, a well-known painter in Seville, as an apprentice (Carr 26).

1a. SUBJECTIVE FRAME- I think that Margaret olley in this painting is being depicted as a wealthy, posh, elegant and very opinionated lady. Margaret Olley looks like all of these things because she has a nice silk dress and a fancy hat with a feathered scarf hanging down from her wrist. Margaret Olley is being depicted as a posh and elegant lady because of her posture and appearance. Margaret olley also comes across as being a proud and sensible women because of the way she is sitting and what she
