A light finesse angel sits on the stretcher hunched and his head bowed, holding hands on the edge of the stretcher. In her long white dress, which touch the ground floors. Her feet are bare. In her right hand she holds a small bouquet of flowers fading. Her eyes closed with white kerchief around her head. The picture does not show what happened to the girl angel. Upon closer inspection a viewer notices that the left wing of the angel at the bottom is slightly torn. Bright white wing slightly stained with blood.
The overall feeling of the painting is peaceful and melancholic. Hugo Simberg never disclosed what was the painting about. Does it represent the earthly start, helping the spirit, and the spirit, immersed in the Earth's beginning? If

    Tim O Brien Visual Analysis

    The purpose of my visual representation is to create an accurate representation of the narrator’s culture in a way that would appeal to an audience of future readers. Tim O’Brien, the narrator, belongs to a culture of people who have a deep understanding of war and how its stories should impact others. The narrator’s culture is heavily influenced by the time period that the text is written. Since the stories took place during the Vietnam war, the narrator’s culture and perception of war stories are centered on his experiences in Vietnam. The short story is structured as a personal narrative, because Tim O’Brien narrates a series of vignettes in first person.…

    Colville Horse And Train Essay

    Alex Colville’s piece titled Horse and Train from 1954 depicts a dark horse, viewed from the rear, galloping past the viewer’s right and toward a black train, which emerges from the works horizon to face the viewer. This painting is a gift of the Dominion Foundries and Steel Ltd. and can be found hanging on the walls of the Art Gallery of Hamilton. This piece combines contrasting shapes and lines to aid viewers in imagining the speed of both the horse and train. High-speed objects utilize well-defined lines and smooth shapes while objects such as the slow blowing grass, billowing steam from the train or the approaching storm clouds are created using softer lines and shapes with plenty of visual texture.…

    Visual Analysis Of Ellen Garven's St Sebastian

    At first glance, Ellen Garvens’ St Sebastian appears to be a tangle of metal, but a second look reveals the artist’s powerful political statement. The piece consists of a hanging construction of copper tubing, a black and white photograph and a sheet of aluminium. Garven uses the photograph to symbolize the oppression of nontraditional sexual orientations and the metal to symbolize the expectations of a heteronormative society. The photograph depicts the left side of a young man’s torso, from the middle of his ribcage to the middle of his thigh.…

    Visual Analysis: A Group Of Angels In Glory

    Visual Analysis Paper After looking through the artworks on Google Art Project, I wanted to show how different artists imagined what angel’s looked like. I specifically used the word "angel" in my search engine to find three different interpretations of the same idea. I chose the following three pieces that show how different images of angels have been drawn. The first image I chose is A Group of Angels in Glory done by the Italian artist, Luca, in 1607, (early Italian, 17th century Renaissance).…

    Domenichino Research Paper

    The life of Jesus Christ is one that is both fascinating and a mystery. This one man’s life is very well documented, both in words and in art. There are many questions raised if this truly happened or was a myth created to give the public hope in times of need. I am not a religious person however, I do tend to gravitate towards religious art. Many of the religious paintings I have viewed have true emotion.…

    Domenichino Zamperini: The Divine

    To represent the divine was the holy light that was given off from Jesus body. The painting from where Jesus is laying we see there is three angels watching from above. Having three angels being depicted in the painting is to represent the trinity the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Also in the picture you can see a dove being held by a little boy to foresee what is to transpire in the future. I believe, the painting goes much deeper than what is actually presented.…

    The second figure in this painting is a man which is on the bright side of the wall and only part of his arm and leg are visible. The way his figure is painted resembles a lot of the visual images people have of Jesus Christ reaching out to help anybody who is going through a tough time. These two figures display sadness in one and hope in another which explains why the subject matter in this piece is…

    Soviet Propaganda Of The 1920's

    The painting imitates Soviet propaganda of the 1920s. This is depicting the Bolsheviks (Red Hand) rising up against the Bourgeoisie (Black hand). Its symbolic meaning is the will of the people stopping the greedy bourgeoisie from stealing capital from the masses. This was typical Communist propaganda of the time always showing the might of the people versus the greed of the rich, whether its this painting, a poster, or a film. In all propaganda, it will always make one side favored over its opposition and in these countries, they needed to put up fictions for the people to give support, and what makes people follow radical ideology, equality for the people in every way.…

    The Gates incorporated the element of line. In this particular piece the lines are implied in nature. The saffron color of the fabric and poles did not connect creating a solid line. Instead of being solid the length of the repeated pattern could be visually grouped together to create one, implied line. The overall horizontal nature of the line of the work implies rest.…

    Masaccio The Holy Trinity

    Another religious painting, this shows christ lying on a bed with Mary and John grieving on the left side. What’s unique about this painting is the perspective angle that the observer is looking at. We see christ’s entire body in a rather small amount of space. This gives us a more intimate and close view of the experience and draws the observer into this grieving scene. Holes are shown in christ’s body which shows where he was pinned into the cross.…

    Allegory Of Art Analysis

    The allegory of art by Vermeer, is a painting of a girl posed on a stool being painted by an artist. The painting is very picturesque it has the look and feel of a still photo. The color used in this painting is realistic and understated, it does not jump out at you but has a certain appeal to it. The line of the curtain being drawn seems to cover up part of the painting and almost makes you wonder what lies behind it. Between the contrast of the horizontal beams of the ceiling and the diagonal tile on the floor lies the heart of the painting.…
