a trip to the METAs a student of art history, going to a museum is the only way to fully experience a work of art. By only looking at a painting or sculpture in a book or on a slide, you cannot fully experience the work of art. By going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I was able to look at paintings that dated from centuries old, to recent times. Bruges, The Life and Miracles of Saint Godelieve, 15th Century, Tempera on wood The Proto-Renaissance alter piece, The Life and Miracles of Saint Godelieve was done by the artist Bruges. This piece is very typical of its time period. The title alone, summarizes what art was in this period, religious. The painting itself is not proportionate, has no vanishing point, and the saints have a globe-like halo. All the faces look the same, if you walked down the street, you would not be able to pick out an individual model for this painting, because there probably was no modeling done. Raphael, Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints, 1504, oil on wood The!Raphael alter-piece, Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints, was painted in 1504. The surface is very smooth, you cannot see any brushstrokes. The figures are placed in a pyramid shape, with the Madonna’s face as the center, and the viewer as the worm’s . . .
------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** . It is disputed as to which period Joan of Arc belongs to. The young man is holding a book, which leads the viewer to make the assumption that he his very learned. T! here is no subject matter, except how the different colors are used. She wants the viewer to use the mind and imagination to make up their own composition. Also, the size of this painting is unbelievable. To be in a room that is filled with paintings by Raphael and Rembrandt is quite an experience that everyone at least once in their life should have a chance to do. At a first glance everything looks real. The use of the dogs show the richness that ran through this period in history. The artist places items symbolizing these different parts of learning by placing them into the "cabinets" that are all around. What makes this my favorite 19th century painting is the realness of Joan of Arc. His long fingers are placed in very odd positions, making this piece very mannerist. Some say it is part of the Romantic movement and some say it is part of the Realist movement, and still, others claim it is part of both movements. Common topics in this essay: | |||
