Loire “Arthur J. Meadows, lots of French collections, French furniture from the oldest to the most recent. Saw different student art works. I saw a painting that I really like to talk more about. The painting is The Virgin and the Child (“The Bridgewater Madonna”) Raphael Sanzio (1483-1520). I learnt that Raphael had made many drawings and painting of the virgin and child, but this work he achieved a particular graceful combination of poses, with an elegant…

When I went to the McNay Art Museum I chose Song of Margaret for Margaret by Carl Rice Embrey. The painting was done with acrylic polymer emulsion on panel in 1973. This representational painting has a lot of eye catching and visually pleasing points. The feel of looking out onto a field from inside a room is a life like view. One thing I noticed is that shape was used. This is because of the organic and geometric shapes found in this work. Geometric shapes are found in the windows, the square…

Weyden’s works of art deal with the same subject matter and medium, but offer distinct perspectives and analysis to the viewer. Both paintings were created within 150 years of one another so the variances in visual composition of the paintings depict how rapidly art transformed. The Cimabue’s painting is a little earlier (completed in 1280) and van der Weyden’s painting was completed between 1435 and 1440, meaning that the visual elements and composition are varied because these time periods…

North of Italy, painting was less influenced by the Greco-Roman revival that it had been in Italy. However, in the north, there were a number of technical innovations that revolutionized painting. In the Netherlands much of this art was not produced on canvas or church walls like that of Italy, but instead produced on wood panels. These could be alter pieces for churches, but portable. The Dutch mastered humanism and showed their virtuosity in minute details such as backgrounds, clothing details…

Painting is one of the forms of self-expression. Artists often use this media to show their opinion on social and cultural issues. In all Mark Ryden`s work there is a hint at something dark beneath the surface of mass culture. He creates dark paintings in which he combines images of cute children, cultural symbols and incomprehensible and alarming images. Ryden chooses themes that carry cultural connotations. He is interested in what different people and cultures consider sacred. His paintings…

Annunciation by Jan van Eyck is an oil painting that was transferred from wood, panel, to a canvas. It was completed between 1434 and 1436 and it currently resides in the National Gallery of Art in D.C., where I visited it. It is believed by experts that this painting is part of a triptych, a work of art that is divided into three sections that are together and have artwork in both the inside and outside, although there has been no actual evidence that proves it. The painting is very complex and…

Artist Bio Raquel Paladino began her journey with finger paints at Christmas time; the buttery feel of the paints, bright colors, let's say it was a sensual experience when she had no concept of what that was. As a teenager her first art champion was her father when he gave her a small box of oil pastels. From then on Raquel experimented with pencils, charcoal, watercolors on any kind of paper or art surface. That is when "being an artist" first became a conscious thought. That is when she…
