Throughout centuries, art has been one of the best ways that people use their imaginations. Paintings like many other ways have been used to represent those imaginations. Due to the evolutions in materials and painting skills of the artists, artworks have become almost lifelike scenarios that force the mind to create the illusion of the actions. These paintings were painted with the same technique and they both have a lot of movement all around them. it is very catchy how they move the attention from one side to the other especially when looking carefully, it gives the idea that that the artists almost had the same feeling when they were painting these compositions.

She stated that “I have been painting in America since 1984, but Chinese history has always been the essence of my work.” (Kelliu.org, par3). Though she learned most of painting techniques in the United States, on her site it states that “Liu was born in Changchun, China in 1948, under the Maoist regime” (par. 2). It is arguably the reason why she saw herself as a history painter when it states that “she converts socialist realism into social realism” (par. 2). Their education was also very different.

In Delacroix’s Christ Asleep During The Tempest the artist used very dark colors to create contrast of the panic going on in the painting. In Liu’s Interregnum the artist used very light colors to project the same ideas that the people in the painting are in lot of panic and struggles. These paintings also are from different stories; one from the bible the other from Chinese history. Delacroix’s Christ Asleep During The Tempest was used in churches around France, as he was told to paint for public buildings and churches(EugeneDelacroix.org, par. 2). France is a very artistic and religious country with a very large catholic population in the times of Eugene Delacroix. It is believed at that time that the teaching of the bible was also made through images. Debra and Ralf state that “life studies of figures representing scenes from the Bible, and symbols related to the Christian faith.” (Dewitee and Larmann 438). This proves that it was necessary to have such paintings around the country for the teaching of the faith. In the description of the picture the author claimed that “After Vincent van Gogh saw this version in Paris in 1886, he wrote, “Christ’s boat—I’m talking about the blue and green sketch with touches of purple and red and a little lemon yellow for the halo, the aureole—speak a symbolic language through color itself.”’ (metmuseum.com, par.1). That shows beauty of this

On July 2nd, 2015, I took a trip the Salvador Dali Museum in Saint Petersburg where they showcased the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit, which included numerous amounts of work that he did over his entire lifespan. Ranging all the way from the Mona Lisa to the Last Supper, Leonardo had a very unique style of portraying his painting, as well as being extremely talented with his blends and bending of multiple colors. Not only was he apart of the famous Renaissance painters who changed the way we looked at Italy, but he was also an extremely intelligent and talented man who has greatly influenced artwork for hundreds of years and will continue for many more generations.

The Last Judgement by Michelangelo is the most preeminent representation of Italian Renaissance fine art, and undoubtedly the most valuable piece of the era. Characteristics of Italian Renaissance artwork are present throughout the painting. Realism, perspective, individualism, light & shadowing and are the most prominent qualities of this painting. Particularly, realism is expressed through the nudity of the people displayed in the painting, not every person’s body is perfect, ideally many bodies have flaws. Realism and expression are shown when “the proportions of his figures grew… more menacing… [and] seething with nudity” (1). The people behind the altar of the Chapel were naked with indecent expressions, displaying individual
In The Tempest, Art is that which is composed of grace, civility and virtue. It is represented by Prospero, the other members of the nobility who belong to the court party and their servants. The world of the court is synonymous with the world of Art in the play. In contrast, Nature is bestial, brutish and evil; and manifest in the form of Caliban and the natural world. With two such extremes brought together, debate between the two is inevitable.

In William Shakespeare's The Tempest, the line between the realm of reality and illusion is blurred by Prospero, who through the use of his magic is able to manipulate and control both the island and those who are stranded on it. The duality between illusion and reality, the contrast between the natural and unnatural are being represented and questioned by Prospero's magic. Throughout the play, Shakespeare is stating that illusions can distort reality, but in the end reality will always makes itself apparent.
William Shakespeare's play The Tempest utilizes extensive imagery which goes beyond merely creating atmosphere and background or emphasizing the major themes of the play. The supernatural plays a considerable role in the play, thus so does the use of imagery, which is more extensive and somewhat different from many other of Shakespeare's works. The imagery is used as a mediator of supernatural powers, to emphasize the natural scene of action, and establish the enchanted island which becomes vivid through such a wealth of single features and of concrete touches. Therefore throughout the play imagery serves a much larger role than creating atmosphere, and is actually involved in most aspects of the play.
