Joseph flores Into to art Rembrandts and de hoochs-“ the visitation 1640 and the others nursing her child” In the 17th century the dutch republic enjoyed the wealth and peace this period is known as the dutch golden age. I saw a few paintings while at the walter art museum some were of the Rembrandts. The paintings and decorative arts were flourished in this small predominantly protestful nation in northwest Europe.

One of the most stunning pictures in the exhibition was the Rembrandts visitation a biblical scene signed and dated at 1640 by the artist.

Albrecht Durer-Saint Jerome in His Study: In this engraving done in 1514 Durer depicts Saint Jerome hard at work at a desk. He appears to be reading or inditing some document that is very engrossing. He does not seem to descry the lion or the canine that are near the foot of his desk. A skull is optically discerned on the left side of the engraving sitting on the window ledge facing the interior of the room. It appears as though there is an imaginary line from Saint Jerome’s head to the cross that culminates at the skull, it is believed that this designates the contrast between death and the Resurrection. The canine is a symbol of adhesion often depicted in Durer’s works, while the lion is a component of the iconography of Saint Jerome. This engraving is often grouped with two other Durer engravings that betoken the three spheres of activity apperceived in Medieval times. Durer was an accomplished engraver, painter, printmaker, mathematician, and theorist.

Rembrandt was born into a Dutch society of the Baroque era . This time period influenced his style of artwork heavily as these were the Post-High Renaissance years. This meant that the accepted artworks of the society at the time were religiously based works influenced by the efforts of the Reformation which was also occurring at the time. This meant that Rembrandt painted his works using religious artwork methods such as the art of chiaroscuro, strategically planning the composition of light and dark to give the figures an enlightened or holy appearance. Therefore when Rembrandt painted self-portraits he carried over these methods, painting himself in this almost holy presence with the use of chiaroscuro. The self-portraits show a vast expressiveness that make the works succ...
During the 15th century, as the Renaissance flourished in Italy, a separate movement of the Renaissance emerged in the Netherlands. The Netherlands, located north of Italy, independently developed a distinct artistic style that incorporated Gothic influences and emphasized observation of nature, symbolism, and attention to detail. Both Flemish and Italian artists were focused on accurately depicting physical realism through the use of chiaroscuro and linear perspective. However, some Italian artists such as Fra Angelico focused on spiritual message rather than naturalism. Each regions’ styles also often vary in materials and theme. For example, Flemish paintings integrated religious themes into secular settings. This was the result of wealthy patrons and merchants commissioning a broader expanse of subjects in Northern art. Italian Renaissance art, however, was predominantly religious. Giant altarpieces were created mainly for public display in churches and
Many might have been working on Good Friday, but many others were enjoying The Frist Museum of Visual Arts. A museum visitor visited this exhibit on April 14, 2017 early in the morning. The time that was spent at the art museum was approximately two hours and a half. The first impression that one received was that this place was a place of peace and also a place to expand the viewer’s imagination to understand what artists were expressing to the viewers. The viewer was very interested in all the art that was seen ,but there is so much one can absorb. The lighting in the museum was very low and some of the lighting was by direction LED lights. The artwork was spaciously
In Bernardino Pinturicchio’s The Annunciation the frequently depicted biblical scene is rendered in a remarkably realistic setting. It is set as if we’re looking through the rounded arch in the foreground straight into the realm of angels and the Virgin Mary herself. In fact, the entire composition suggests an instant of time caught glancing through a window. The painting as a whole is more realistic than many previous Annunciation scenes, which brings the divine closer to our realm and down to the viewer’s level. This has the effect of making a mythical and renowned scene seem relatable and lifelike.
The Painting Martha and Mary Magdalene is one of the many masterpieces in the DIA’s collection in Detroit. Although there is much more to understanding a work of art then just looking at it. In order to understand a piece, you have to understand the Artist, the time period, and the symbols in that painting that may have very different meaning today.
depicted important historical places and scenes. For this reason, he wanted to portray the beauty and mastery of the natural landscapes that nobody ever heard about (“Dedham Vale - John Constable,” n.d.). The majority of the Constable’s paintings are the scenes from his homeland Suffolk and Stour Valley, which are located in England. “Dedham Valley” is not the exception. This fact did not stop Constable from achieving success as he was recognized as one of the best landscape painters of England (“Dedham Vale - John Constable,” n.d.). However, painting was not the only way how Romanticists could express themselves. In the beginning of the Romantic period, photography was not yet so popular, but it started to grow fast in the 19th century as

Art Nouveau was an artist movement that started in Europe and peaked in popularity between the years of 1890 and 1910. It had a great influence on graphic design, but was also practiced in the fields of art, architecture and applied art. Art Nouveau is a French term meaning “new art” and is characterized from the highly stylized forms as well as organic and plant motifs. “The organic forms often took the shape of sudden violent curves which were often referenced by the term whiplash” (Eskilson, 56). It took on many different characteristics, and some of it’s well known designers from the era created new artistic vocabulary that could best express the modern world. “Art Nouveau’s success was a reaction against the late 19th century academic art and was replaced by the development of 20th century modernist style” (Eskilson, 56).
Ever since she was a young girl, she got frustrated with things she didn’t understand right away. She sat at the kitchen table doing homework with her mother, when her mom got up to get the little girl a snack, the little girl threw all her papers on the floor and yelled out of frustration. Nothing has changed, and the little girl is in college now. This project is meant to boost patients, decrease frustration, and relieve stress by simply painting or drawing. Most college students don’t know how to control their frustration and can get stressed very easy over a simple test that night be coming up soon. If they practice becoming patient, and focusing their minds on other things, then this transition in college will be easily accomplished.
During the 19th century, a great number of revolutionary changes altered forever the face of art and those that produced it. Compared to earlier artistic periods, the art produced in the 19th century was a mixture of restlessness, obsession with progress and novelty, and a ceaseless questioning, testing and challenging of all authority. Old certainties about art gave way to new ones and all traditional values, systems and institutions were subjected to relentless critical analysis. At the same time, discovery and invention proceeded at an astonishing rate and made the once-impossible both possible and actual. But most importantly, old ideas rapidly became obsolete which created an entirely new artistic world highlighted by such extraordinary talents as Vincent Van Gogh, Eugene Delacroix, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Claude Monet. American painting and sculpture came around the age of 19th century. Art originated in Paris and other different European cities. However, it became more popular in United States around 19th century.
Rembrandt van Rijn’s piece Return of the Prodigal Son is seen as a depiction of a son pleading for repentance and forgiveness from his father. In the Old Testament the prodigal son is the youngest of two sons who expends all his wealth, comes home impoverished after sinning and is now pleading for mercy and liberation from his father. This painting is also a perfect representation of the homecoming of an outcasted son who has come to terms with his wrong doing and is now desperate for a second chance. Rembrandt is depicting the sense of compassion and forgiveness of a father towards his son that is seeking reconciliation with his family although he led a life of sinning.
Three great masters–Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael–dominated the period known as the High Renaissance. The painting, Moa Lisa. C.1503 – 1506 by Leonardo da Vinci, is one of my favorite paintings. The painting is a self-portrait lady with the mixture dull yellow and brown tones. A technique is sharp edges that are blurred by blended colors in which the corners of the eyes and the mouth in shadow. Mona Lisa is a beautiful woman with all harmonious contours as well as her mysterious smile that creates her a strange attraction. I wonder whether she is real or not. The next painting is The Last Supper. c.1495 – 1498 by Leonardo da Vinci. The work of art contains a hidden geometry in which Christ’s figure as stable triangle, contrasting with active turmoil of the disciples. It seems to be having a group of three such as the apostles are seated in groupings of three, there are three windows behind Jesus and both sides, and the shape of Jesus ' figure resembles a triangle. Besides, the artwork is two-dimensional, but it looks like a tri-dimensional painting. The third painting in the Renaissance I want to mention is The Arnolfini Portrait. 1434 by Jan van Eyck. The work of art is using tiny brush strokes to show the incredible richness and various material in the mood texture. The figures and the space are so accurately captured, and the painting is simulated texture
