Comparisons
Gerard David and Mary Cassatt both are remarkable artists who has influenced artists today. Gerard David was born in 1455 in the Netherlands (Oudewater). Mary Cassatt was born in 1861 in Pennsylvania. Even though they were born at different times, their paintings show the relationship between mother and child.
David painted Virgin and Child With Four Angels in 1510. The type of canvas used was wood with oil paint. The wood has a rectangular shape. The Virgin and Child characters that were reproduced from a painting by Jan van Eyck, who influenced David when he settled in Bruges in 1484.
In the foreground there are six figures. The mother, child and the four angels. The mother has brown hair and is wearing a red robe. She is also in the center of the painting. She has a dismal look on her face, while holding her child tightly. The mother depicts the Virgin Mary. The child is naked in the mother's arms looking at the viewer. The child represents Jesus and innocence. To the left and right of the mother there are two angels. One is playing a harp and the other is playing a banjo. The one playing the harp is wearing a black robe. Black can represent the darkness or evil. The other angel playing the banjo is wearing a white grayish robe. The white grayish color can represent the purity and good side. Their facial expressions look as if they are sad. The other two angels are above the mother and child. They both are holding a crown over the mother and child. The angels holding the crown symbolizes the war between good and evil.
In the middle ground and background there are churches, gardens, and mountains. The colors mainly used are forest green, brown, white and beige color to highlight certain aspects of the painting. The churches in the painting are from Sint-Jakobs and Onze-Lieve-Vrouw. The mood of the piece is melancholy. It is shown in the facial expressions of each character.
Looking at the painting I really couldn't tell where David started his work. I think he started with the background first and everything came after.
Mary Cassatt painted a Young Mother Sewing on a rectangular canvas. She also used oil paint like Gerard David did. In the foreground, the young child in the painting was wearing a white and sky blue dress.

...n conclusion, the University of Oklahoma successfully demonstrates its commitment to success in the classroom and on the field by providing the SHC, which ensures a family atmosphere for community members. This community is kept strong by assuring its members are provided with the tools, resources, and “home-like” atmosphere necessary to excel both academically and athletically. My observations of this community are that structure, fun, and educational support tools helps guides athletes in the right direction since performativity plays a large role in their lives.
The Renaissance in Western Europe brought a “rebirth” to the arts. No longer was the church the only accredited patron for the arts. Instead, a wealthy middle class arose as patrons and were able to purchase artist’s works. Although many pieces still had religious themes, the styles, freedom of creativity, and less reserved pieces were created. The Renaissance was not only confined to Italy, although it is often mistaken as the birthplace of the movement. All over Western Europe artwork flourished. Artists from the north came to Italy to study the classical arts and the renowned Italian Renaissance artists. Many of the same themes and subject matters were depicted throughout Western Europe. One such subject matter, the Annunciation, was portrayed by Jan van Eyck, a Flemish panel painter, as well as, Fra Angelico, an Italian fresco painter. In short, the Annunciation occurred when God sends the angel, Gabriel to deliver the message to Mary that she will give birth to his only son. Although both artists had the same understanding of the biblical account, their styles varied to agree with the concerns and interests of the people of the time as well as where they lived. They were able to establish their individuality through their artwork, even with the same subject matter. The Annunciation by Jan van Eyck is a perfect reflection of Northern Renaissance panel painting while Annunciation by Fra Angelico is the essence of Italian Renaissance fresco painting.
On May 22, 1844, Mary Cassatt was born to Robert Simpson Cassatt and Katherine Kelso Johnston in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. Because her parents were of a wealthy background, Mary and her family were able to travel often. A family trip to Europe when Mary was only seven years old sparked her lifelong interest in art. Mary received her basic education in Europe, and then in moving back to the states, was able to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts at the young age of sixteen.
Leonardo Da Vinci would often paint religious painting, later become quite well known for them. He made no exception when he painted the Virgin of the Rocks also known as the Madonna of the Rocks. This painting features Mary, the mother of Jesus, baby Jesus, baby John the Baptist, and an angel. They all sit together on a rocking background pointing to Jesus as he prays. This painting is actually a set of two paintings that depict the same image for the purpose of this painting the focus will be on the Louvre version, or the first version of the painting. (Vinci, 1452) Painted for the chapel for a church in Milan, it was said to not have fit the picture that da Vinci’s client had in mind, which led to the creation of the second version of the painting.

To understand the criminal, you must think like the criminal. The moment Oswald was accused of the assassination after being jailed for killing a
It was November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. The sun was shining down and thousands of people gathered to watch President Kennedy give a speech. A motorcade containing the president turned southwest down Elm Street to head to the Trade Mart. It was then that the chaos began. Shots echoed through the air and seconds later, it was over. The 35th president of the United States of America had been assassinated. Quickly after the incident, the alleged shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, was apprehended on suspicion of the murder of John F. Kennedy. However, Oswald never made it to trial because he was murdered during transportation between jails two days after his arrest. Human curiosity and suspicion has not failed this assassination. The John. F. Kennedy
The painting is organized simply. The background of the painting is painted in an Impressionist style. The blurring of edges, however, starkly contrasts with the sharp and hard contours of the figure in the foreground. The female figure is very sharp and clear compared to the background. The background paint is thick compared to the thin lines used to paint the figures in the foreground. The thick paint adds to the reduction of detail for the background. The colors used to paint the foreground figures are vibrant, as opposed to the whitened colors of the Impressionist background. The painting is mostly comprised of cool colors but there is a range of dark and light colors. The light colors are predominantly in the background and the darker colors are in the foreground. The vivid color of the robe contrasts with the muted colors of the background, resulting in an emphasis of the robe color. This emphasis leads the viewer's gaze to the focal part of the painting: the figures in the foreground. The female and baby in the foreground take up most of the canvas. The background was not painted as the artist saw it, but rather the impression t...
The wing of angel Garbriel reflects through the light. The round glass window reflected the grass, the curtain in front of the Virgin Mary looks into the mirror. The architectural interior constructed in the painting makes the vivid images, the closet in the back of the Virgin Mary was old, and well- constructed. The painting was simple used of rough brushes to make the painting smoother, the way they stand as they looked into the mirror are the same, the complex composition, as well as the lyric quality of the drawing and transparency of the colors, are the characteristics of the painting. As shown in the painting, angel was try to look at the mirror carefully, this painting portrayed the scene angel give a seriously look, and the clothes she wears shows the status during that time. The rectangle shape of the parcel was old, they are all stare at the one places. The carpet was very different, and the triangle shape on the ceiling paint very
Madonna and child is one of the early Christian paintings. It shows “Madonna” as the virgin Marry and the “Child” as baby Jesus. The artist Berlinghiero did this great painting in the Greca period in the twelfth century. This painting was done on wood with two figures in front of a gold background. Madonna is wearing a dark blue cloak with golden decorations that cover most of her body; she is also wearing a reddish dress underneath her cloak that is only visible on her arms. To show here modesty the only thing that can be seen is here arms, neck and face. Her hand has and unrealistic look to them so as if they look long and skinny. According to the museum label “Berlinghiero was always open to Byzantine influence, and this Madonna
Jacopo del Sellaio’s Virgin, Child, and St. John is a characteristically iconographic tempera panel painting of Madonna, the Christ Child, and the infant St. John from the early renaissance, dating to the early 1480s. Sellaio was a Florentine painter under the apprenticeship of Sandro Botticelli, which reflects through his style and symbolism in the painting. In this work, he depicts a classically devotional scene filled with biblical symbolism. Sellaio’s Virgin, Child, and St. John expresses Mary’s loving role as Christ’s mother, the protective power and warmth of her maternal bond, and the significance of the birth of Christ.
The painting under analysis is Alfred Bryan Wall’s Shepherdess with Sheep and Child from the permanent collection of the Westmoreland Museum of American Art at the temporary location, Westmoreland @rt 30. The painting depicts a pastoral scene of a woman, presumably the shepherdess holding a small child, while surrounded by sheep, with a small cottage visible in the background as well as a small forest. The medium being used is oil on canvas , with what appears to be a more rounded application of paint in layers. This technique is realistic in creating an image that demonstrates the shape of the sheep in particular and the fluffy quality of their wool. This is because of the contour lines or the outlines of shapes that are used. The more rounded quality and layering of these lines makes them somewhat indistinct, but this adds to the element of the sheep looking quite realistic as if one could almost fluff or touch the wool.
The ability to create a picture of The Annunciation in one’s mind is a key factor in understanding the analysis of the work. Francisco de Zurbaran approaches the painting with a naturalistic style. The painting features a room in which a woman – like angel is seen at the left kneeling on the ground before the Virgin Mary. The figure of Mary is placed between a chair and a small wooden table draped with a green cloth. Mary disregards an open Bible on the table, as she appears solemn while staring at the floor. Floating above the two main figures in the upper left side of the painting are cherubs resting on a bed of clouds. They happily gaze down at Mary with eyes from Heaven.
Perspective is based on Jesus in this painting due to his outward “radiant glow of divine light” (1) extending to the other people in the painting. The main focus is on Jesus and the rest of the figures are diffused in an outward fashion from Jesus himself. The artist himself expresses an emphasis on individualism by implementing himself within the painting by appearing “twice in the Last Judgement: in the flayed skin which Saint Bartholomew is carrying in his left hand, and the figure… who is looking encouragingly at those rising from their graves” (2). This is an action that only a Renaissance painter would do, which is displaying individuality through a self-portrait because of the possibility of being judged for selfishness. Light and shadowing is prominent within the art which is shown in the painting when the lighter, more brighter colors are focused in the middle and then fade into darker tones while moving outward into the
