Caspar David Friederich uses his painting to evoke certain emotions in his viewers. Born 1774 in Germany during the Romantic period, Friederich's art shows deep emotion through many techniques. In his painting, "Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog," Friedrich creates a calm, peaceful and reflective mood through his use of light, color, composition, lines, shape and space. All of these artistic technical elements work together to put an emphasis on self-reflection in this painting. The use of light and color

Persona During the end of the fourteenth century, new ideas gradually started to evolve in Italy. This massive blow of ideas, culture and new attitudes, impacted the artwork that was in the making. Leonardo Da Vinci was a key figure in creating new paintings and frescos in the Renaissance time period and many of his pieces include the aspect of humanism. Although “The Last Supper” is clearly a depiction of Jesus and Christianity, humanism is clearly prolific in Da Vinci’s work. And Da Vinci incorporates

Leonardo Da Vinci was born near Florence, Italy in 1452 to a father who failed to raise him until he was approaching adolescence. His passion for the arts began at an early age as he apprenticed for a local artisan at the age of eighteen, but his interest in science and mathematics started to lead him astray from his artistic interest. Throughout the rest of his life one notices a trend of unfinished artwork as well as a disposition towards the modern sciences of life instead of his highly coveted

meant to be perfect. While some believe that an artist’s talent is weighed upon how well they excel at drawing a realistic eye, or how well they can draw a landscape to the smallest detail, feist is attempting to counter attack those standards by painting a piece that shows their skill in style than in realism. I believe this because I too am not one to amazed at artist who display their realistic artwork based off a photograph. When you are not creative within your work , how are you going to improve

the words of Fred S. Kleiner (257). The painting I chose do my term paper on is titled, The Arrest of Christ. Painted in the year 1515, by the artist Hieronymous Bosch, in oil and tempera on a panel. It currently hangs in the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. The Arrest of Christ painting depicts Christ’s peace transcending his circumstances and the balance between good and evil. In the first part of this paper I will give a formal analysis of the painting

Leonardo da Vinci was a true Renaissance man. He was not only an artist; he was also a scientist and an inventor. It was his scientific mindset that led him to question the theories of his predecessors about how to paint or draw three-dimensional scenes realistically on a flat surface. He had a keen eye and noticed that objects looked fuzzier and more blue the farther away they are from the viewer. He also noticed that the currently accepted linear perspective was flawed in regard to peripheral objects

After browsing through many books, I spotted a book call, Thomas Moran: Artist of the Mountains. Looking through that book, I found many paintings that touched my heart, but the one I loved the most is called, Fort George Island. It is a great painting expressing the beauty of nature. The painting is created by Thomas Moran, one of the greatest artists of 19th century. He was originally born in Bolton, England. The rapids industrialization of 19th century, which left his parents without a job, and

Gallowgate Lard 1995 is a painting made with thick oil and beeswax. It was painted by Ken Curie, and suprisingly, it’s a self portrait. The skin is washed out and blanched, bereft eyebrows, and blood stained lips. Also, the face appears to be emerging out from the darkness. The use of beeswax makes the skin appear more realistic and the thick oil paint provides further texture to the surface. It is located in the Aberdeen Art Gallery and is considered a piece of “Contemporary British Art.” The idea

Dale Chihuly is an American glass blower (Dale Patrick Chihuly, 2015). The piece of art I’ll mainly be looking at is Citron and Cobalt Tower. This piece was located directly in the center of the museum as soon as you walked in to the show room. It caught my eye and I knew immediately what I wanted to do my paper on. Citron and Cobalt Tower was first introduced in 2004 (Art and Biology in the Citron and Cobalt Tower by Dale Chihuly, n.d). It’s twenty feet tall and around it is around 6 feet (Art

the early Northern Renaissance.” This patrons influenced the direction of art by employing artist, either for a short or long period of time. The diverse effect of patrons influence in art in 15th-18th centuries was supremely good. Oil on wood paintings were introduced by painters as their new medium. Based on what we read in (Khan 2015) “There is a probability of a debate on whether the North experienced a Renaissance, but the artistic, institutions and intellectual changes are evident.” New
