'Still Life: An Allegory of the Vanities of Human Life' by Harmen Steenwyck is a typical example of a Dutch 'Vanitas' painting. Harmen steenwyck mostly painted fruits so this painting is a lot different to…
The Transfiguration is a historical painting by a Renaissance artist most known as Raphael. The artwork portrays Jesus as the central light of the painting. The source of light comes from celestial clouds that surround Jesus. The figure of Jesus and the clouds that surround him in a circle frame form is the most illuminating part of the painting. There is a major contrast of light between Jesus and the common people that are placed below him. It is a cool brilliant white light that illuminates…
did not hear the song. The first thing I noticed about this painting is that it does not have a wide variety of color. It all blends in with each other. The girls on both the right side and the left side are all the same shade of color. Their shapes are elongated and seem to emerge from the rocks. All of the seamen on the boat and the sails are a dark color and mixes together to make it look like there is not much detail in the painting when there actually is. The sky is very dark and gloomy…

creates. I was imagining a painting more similar to a work by Heinrich Hofmann made in 1871. His painting Christ in the Temple, shows Christ surrounded by five other men, the doctors who he is conversing with. In this painting, there are much less people which allows for a more compact composition without many other things for the viewer to be distracted by. When I look at Bordone’s painting, I find myself lost at times in the many different things happening in the painting; the people looking…
