The analysis of two outstanding artworks: The Divine Shepherdess and Child with Saint John the Baptist and an Angel The art works in the art center provides a broad range of artistic visions from different period of times as well as various cultural backgrounds. Among them I choose two religious painting as my favorite: The Divine Shepherdess, from 1780-1800, which is an oil painting on canvas; and Domenico di Bartolomeo Ubaldini’s Madonna and Child with Saint John the Baptist and an Angel, from 1518-1520. The latter one is also an oil artwork, but on panel, not on canvas. According to the annotate of The Divine Shepherdess, the theme source comes from the words of Saint Antoine, who said: â€Å"Mary is the Good Shepherd who†¦show more content†¦At the bottom right corner, John the Baptist has been depicted as infant at seemingly the same age as Child Jesus. Saint John raises his arm, with a scroll bearing the first few words of the phrase ‘ECCE. AGNVS DEI QVI TOLLIT PECCATUM MONDI’ (Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world). In this artwork, we are not able to see the whole phrase but several letters among them, but it is definitely presenting the same words. The pleasure on Saint John’s face while looking at the scroll foretells his devotion in the future as a Baptist. An angel standing next to the Virgin looks at the Child Jesus, who looks over his shoulder. The caring face of the angel indicates Jesus’s sacrifice is praised not only by the common people, but holy figures. The background is mainly dark grey, makes the figures at the front to stand out. Personally, I think the painting is aesthetically attractive because of the special style of the artist. Realistic are the faces of the figures, which look like real human with beauty appearance, and their bodies. Idealistic elements include the glowing casts on the Virgin, the Child Jesus, and Saint John the Baptist, and the sacredness the artist tries to convey through the image. These two painting, The Divine Shepherdess and Madonna and Child with Saint John the Baptist and an Angel, have various similarities andShow MoreRelatedMuseum Visit1022 Words   |  5 PagesI had the pleasure of visiting The Miami Art Museum and was very impressed by what I encountered and viewed. I have never found interest in art until I got to see the museum. Throughout my exploration at the Miami Art Museum I was able to view a wide selection of art. In this venture, I viewed the most beautiful artwork I had ever seen, observed interesting non European/North American art, was alarmed by the most disturbing works , explored a breath taking exhibition, and actually found work thatRead MoreMuseum Visit At The Monmouth Museum935 Words   |  4 Pages Museum Visit For my extra credit assignment, I chose to go to the Monmouth Museum. I had a very insightful time and am very happy with the new experience. Unfortunately, I was only able to stay for about an hour and a half so I was only able to really analyze a few pieces of art. There was plenty more to see and it is too bad I could not be there for any longer. Here is what I discovered, liked, and disliked. The I in Disguise It is made with acrylic on canvas, made in 2013.

It is located on Southwest 121st Avenue and is just south of 5-95.(Figure 1) I decided to go on a Friday and I think a few schools may have had the same idea. Upon first arriving I knew, almost instantly, that Young at Art was designed with the youth in mind. Which is great reasoning for the name Young at Art, but I hadn’t thought much of it before my visit. At first look I noticed that there was much to do at Y.A.A. and I wasRead MoreVisit The Leepa Rattner Museum1233 Words   |  5 PagesFor my museum trip I chose to visit the Leepa-Rattner museum in Tarpon Springs. I have never been to an art museum before so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. With that being said, I must admit I really found enjoyment from the distinctive emphasis that artists put within many of these images. Furthermore, it is truly amazing how you can gaze at a work of art and begin to establish an idea of the narrative being told within the image. The Leepa-Rattner museum is not very large, and it did not takeRead MoreA Visit to the Museum Report601 Words   |  2 PagesThe exhibit I visited was at the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, the exhibit was called The Art of the Americas Wing. The exhibit itself had various painting of famous figures and art pieces about the time period dated back from the American Colonies to modern day art pieces.

Each piece of art were unique on its own and just standing near the piece for a shortRead MoreUsf Contemporary Art Museum : Visit Museum1537 Words   |  7 PagesUSF Contemporary Art Museum : Visit Artwork Analysis Admission: FREE, but USF parking permits are required and available in the CAM parking lot. â€Å"Untitled #4† was created by Larry Bell in 1974.

The cross-cultural topic that I chose is â€Å"Tools of all Kinds† and I focused on weapons. I decided to choose weapons because I believe they can tell us a lot about the culture of different people from different parts of the world. The types of weapons and what they are made of represent different cultural views and even the surrounding areas of these places, because weapons are made from what is available to peopleRead MoreMy Visit to the Brooklyn Museum942 Words   |  4 PagesDuring my visit to the Brooklyn Museum, I found it both intriguing and informative. The layout of the exhibition was divided into about three to four sections. Each section of the museum represented a movement of the 60’s. The themes repre sented were segregation of blacks and whites, how they tried to gain equality and the changes they anticipated would happen in the future. The artwork throughout the exhibit was displayed in a varying gradient of black and white to colors. The type of backgroundRead MoreA Visit At The Museum Of Fine Arts1210 Words   |  5 PagesMuseum Assignment On November 8th, 2016 I took a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, to conduct research on different kinds of art.

This was not displeasing however--quite the opposite in fact. The atmosphere was perfect for contemplation and thought, which is exactly what I want in a museum. I was still surprised of course; my visit to the Art Institute of Chicago had been very different. Unlike in Huntington, Chicago’s museum was packed to the brim, and the people with in it practically shouting just to be heard. It is very easy to decide
