The beginning of a legend Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simomi was born on March 6, 1475, and Caprice Italy, we know him as Michelangelo’s father was a magistrate, was an infant’s family moved to Florence. When Michelangelo’s mother passed away this father is no longer it will take care of him and he went to live with stonecutter and he joked, “With my wet-nurse’s milk, I sucked in the hammer and chisels I use for my statues” (Bio.com ) Michelangelo didn’t care much for school it was…

revolutionized the artistic world. Not only was he a great artist, he was also the one that used nature to make everything looks real, in his painting. Leonardo had varied hard jobs, but most of them used his talents. He made the most famous painting is Mona Lisa and fun fact: she is always staring at you. Also he sketched inventions for people to build, Leo sketched planes but never were built. t or flew them. Leonardo sketched the roads for the Pope, in Rome. He had many parts in his life.…

Over the course of this semester, we have discussed numerous pieces of art from a wide range of differing artists and mediums. The two pieces that have intrigued me most are both created by Michelangelo Bounarroti and include La Pietà (426, Figure 13.9) and The Last Judgement (431, Figure 13.15). Both pieces are from the Italian Renaissance, which lasted from roughly the 14th century to the 17th century. I chose these two pieces of art because of the attention to detail Michelangelo gives to his…

J.M.W. Turner By Peter Milnes J.M.W. Turner was an English landscape painter. He had a very interesting artistic life from his budding childhood to his unfortunate death. He created beautiful works of art now exhibited in many places of the world. I picked him because I have had many experiences with his art, and I love his style of painting, especially how he made light realistic. Examples of this can be seen when light shines on water or when the moon is present. This and the amount of…

How has mental illness changed humanity? I personally liked watching the TED video on “how metal illness changed human history” because the speaker pointed some things out in his video that I wasn’t aware first. At the beginning of the video the speaker told his audience how his parents took him to Europe at the age of 12. There his parents brought him to a cave where he would see cave paintings for the first time in his life. I personally did not know that chose case paintings were in France or…

In this discussion I will be analyzing the content of arguably Leonardo Da Vinci’s most iconic painting the Mona Lisa. The first interesting fact I learned about this portrait is widely believed to depict a woman named Lisa Gherardini the wife a wealthy of a wealthy silk merchant named Francesco del Giocondo. Furthermore, Da Vinci is thought to have intended to complete this portrait for the couple so they could commemorate the birth of their son, however he was never able to complete the…

For this second assignment, I have chosen to talk about dry media and wet media art works. “The dry media, which include metalpoint, chalk, charcoal, graphite, and pastel, consist of coloring agents, or pigments, that are sometimes ground or mixed with substances that hold the pigment together, called binders.”(p.165) I selected the composition “Study of a Woman's Head or the Angel of the Vergine delle Rocce, 1473” by Leonardo da Vinci. This is merely just a sketch of a woman's head from the…

During the processes of painting and repainting - the practice of applying paint and scraping it back off again - there are resultant blemishes, bumps, knocks and scratches that accumulate incrementally on the surface. Canning (2012) remarks that his paintings do not aim for “flawless” surfaces; rather “they’re marked, and they do tell the story of the history of their making”. The hereditary traits of Canning’s inheritance of his father’s trade can also be seen in works like “Lithium” (Fig 4-11…

I like the artist Leonardo da Vinci. My favorite work of his is "Mona Lisa". I find it very intriguing, because he is a very good artist, and he pays good attention to details. Leonardo da Vinci was born in the year of 1452 in Anchiano, Tuscany (now Italy) and died in the year of 1519 in Cloux, France. Also his parents were never married (just like me), then at an early age his mother married another man and started a new family. Da Vinci never had an advanced education, he was only tought basic…

Art Appreciation Project Leonardo Da Vinci is arguably one of the most famous artists in the world. He is known largely for a few of his paintings, one of them being the “Mona Lisa.” Leonardo Da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452. He was the illegitimate child of a Florentine notary and was raised by his father until he was fifteen, when he had his first apprenticeship working Andrea del Verrocchio. Leonardo grew up in a village near Florence, Italy. Most of his life was spent in a small town,…
