The first painting “El Pan Nuestro”(Our Daily Bread) by Ramón Frade, shows us the image of an old man in the rural landscape.Carrying plenty of green plantains on his hands and walking from a long distance.The old man is likely to be on his way home from working the land. He does not appear to be happy in fact he looks tired and down.He might be tired from working all day to get food for his family.The painting is a very colorful and clear image of the landscape, showing the big green mountains in the distance, grass, and a beautiful blue sky. The painter expresses the meaning of his title by showing the plantains the old man was carrying, which probably was what he and his family eat every day in order to live.

    Tastefully developed and carefully curated, The Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University now holds one of the largest collections of Spanish art outside of Spain. The museum prides itself on displaying widely diversified paintings, a statement I do not fully agree with. Although the two-story museum’s walls are furnished with with a wide variety of subject content there is a chauvinistic sense about their collections.

    Though a rather uncreative title, Coming out of Church lacks nothing in interest visually. The painting, done by Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta, was created some time before 1875 in Spain reveals the harsh class differences and cultural norms of the mid 1800’s while also revealing the artists own personal outlook on these phenomena. Madrazo cultivates a scene of gloomy metaphor in his use of rain, and a visual representation of his opnion on the class division through the use of gesture, costume, subject, juxtaposition and light. The end product is both a beautifully crafted piece of work, and a painting that reflects Madrazo’s critique on his belief in the dangers and ailments of class division. Location, location, location; not just important in real estate, it is also prevalent in the location of the scene in a painting.…

Brook argues that globalization, which is believed to have begun in the twentieth and twenty-first century had its roots in the seventeenth century. This is evident in one of the portraits painted by Johannes Vermeer of the landscape view of Delft.…
