Matte painting

Elizabeth Coulter The subject of this piece is a Buddha named Maitreya. He is a strongly built man wearing a robe that drapes fluidly off of his body. The piece is constructed from gild bronze and was crafted using piece mold casting. Maitreya faces onlookers with open arms and a smile. The piece was obviously meant to be placed against a wall, as is obvious from the fact that the back is left open and is not meant for display. As stated previously, this is a depiction of Buddha Maitreya. He is

photographic credit directly under the pictures to the museums were the vases are located as well as in the photo credit pages (897). I enjoyed learning how those before us were able to find a way to communicate with us through cave wall paintings, figure carvings, vase painting. They let us know what was happening or happened while they were alive. They gave us glimpses into what they may or may not have really happened in their

across the bottom of the piece are considered a reminder of death. Flowers are beautiful when they’re budding and alive, but soon they will wilt and die. This use of flora is also portrayed in Vanitas Self-Portrait, the vase in the back center of the painting is full of beautiful flowers that will soon wilt and lose their initial beauty, serving as a warning of death. The portrait also contains a knocked over platter and a bubble, both used as a reminder of the fragility of life. Each of the pieces are

Both paintings focus around the same subject, Mary receiveing the news that she will be carrying Jesus by the Archangel Gabriel. Angelico’s painting is a very large fresco. The painting is so large that Mary and Gabriel are almost life size. In comparison, Campin’s painting is a triptych that is small and a portable oil painting. This portability brings us into a new era, where people want this type of art in their homes versus only being able to view them in a church. The left panel allows us to

Work Out of the choices I had to pick from for my analysis. I chose the painting, “Slave Ship” by Joseph Turner, due to the chaos I see in the painting. Not only is the event being portrayed very chaotic, but the painting itself is full of turmoil as well. The painting has vigorous brush strokes and the colors seem to melt together in areas, leaving the sky and the sea hard to distinguish in the middle portion of the painting. The artist also uses bright and dark colors, allowing the creation of pandemonium

glance, Pieter Claesz’s oil on wood panel composition appears to be an elegant table scene that leaves the viewer with a desire for lightly salted crab served with a squeeze of lemon, a crusty roll and a quaff of Rhenish wine. To an extent, this painting is indeed a feast for the senses and a contemplation of fine food, temptingly presented amongst handsome dinnerware. Yet, by looking deeper into this beautifully rendered still life, it becomes apparent that a greater moral and religious message

In my painting “Morning Picture” by Edwin Romanzo Elmer it depicts a family outside of their house.The family includes a small girl and parents, the young girl is far from the parents. The setting is a two story house near the hills in Western Mass on a bright sunny day with the family outside in the front. Near the young girl, there's a lamb, a cat, a doll in a stroller and a hat. The dark clothed parents are in a corner near a lilac bush sitting down on wooden chairs (archive.boston.com). At the

Leonardo Da Vinci’s artwork “The Last Supper” (1495-1498) in Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan is one of the most well-known paintings in the world that depicts the biblical event where Jesus Christ announces that one of his own disciples shall betray him. In this painting, Leonardo Da Vinci uses the early Renaissance techniques of composition and perspective to create an artwork that is unforgettable. However, what truly makes this particular artwork stand out and draw viewers in is the use of naturalism

the Mona Lisa has a very elegant, detailed background. In Webb’s work, from 2016, it seems as if the work is very simple and not very detailed in a day where modern art is evolved so much from the days of the Mona Lisa, however, this 513 year older painting is ironically much more
