White Poodle In A Punt Analysis

Improved Essays
George Stubbs “White Poodle in a Punt”, was one of his creative paintings of animals. During his lifetime, George Stubbs was famous for his paintings of domestic and exotic animals, and have produced the most anatomically precise images of horses. The dog is the point of interest in the painting. The use of dark colors makes the fur stand out and the use of lines used to make the fur look as it was moving in the wind, which adds to the value of the entire painting. Also in the painting, it shows tall trees surrounded by the water, but they aren’t sharply delineated. The use of the lines is intricate, but not symmetrical. There is a lot of contrast between the dog’s fur and its surroundings, which gives off a one-point perspective.

    This artwork looks like it is from the Northern Renaissance and one of Albrecht Durer’s prints. Durer was an important artist from the Northern Europe and he combined the teachings of the Italian Renaissance with the practices of the Northern Europeans. This print is an example of what was produced during the Northern Renaissance, as seen in the extreme details found in the fur of the animals as well as the small patterns created on the wall from the lighting seeping through the window. There are some symbols meticulously placed within the picture like the skull near the window and the lion near the steps. The Northern Renaissance came about when several northern artists, like Durer, traveled to Italy and after studying the techniques and teachings…

Everything in the painting fits well together, the creatures are in the forest together, while on the leaves.…

He then started painting the house on a piece of cardboard. In his very first sketch, he drew male and female figures, with the man actually holding a rake.

    During my excursion to the Animal Rescue League of Boston, I quickly realized many of the emotional connections that humans and their canine pets share. Prior to visiting with the dogs, I made my way around the cat shelter area. After observing the cats, it became evident that their many of their “cute” behaviors were aimed solely at attracting the attention of potential human companions. For instance, a white cat named Sirocco made a distinctive pawing motion whenever I passed her cage, as if she was beckoning me to come closer and visit with her. Yet, after she had garnered my awareness, the snow colored tabby simply retreated back onto to her cardboard bed to continue her restful afternoon.…
