in a moment of anticipation, observing the viewer’s constant shifting. However, it can also be interpreted that the gaze of the figures are towards the king and queen reflected in the mirror.

value of almost seven hundren sixty-eight million dollars, based on an insurance assessment in the early 1960s, valued then at $100 million (Chris 2015). The Mona Lisa’s mysterious expression, which is both fascinating and indifferent, has given the portrait worldwide fame, and many years later it continues to attract admirers in the millions. Many duplicates had been made of the painting over the years, including some where the Mona Lisa’s face has a mustache, or the face is swap with other…

The reading states that the painting known as Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet might not be the work of Rembrandt and gives three reasons of support. However, the professor refutes each of the reasons given by the reading and supports the idea that the portrait is, indeed, Rembrandt's original work. First, the reading claims that the woman in the portrait is dressed inconsistently. She is wearing both items that servants would wear and items that servants could not even afford.…

Vincent Van Gogh: The Portrait of Dr.Gachet The Portrait of Dr. Gachet by Vincent Van Gogh is sorrowful, but alluring. Iam drawn to this piece because of the heavy brush strokes and the usage of dark colors, and because of this I automatically knew there was more to the story as I analyzed-- from the subject's facial expression to the purple flower lying on the table. I began to know more about this painting’s story as I investigated Vincent’s past and other works. The greatest dutch painter…

The inclusion of an interior space is groundbreaking itself (if we consider the Arnolfini Portrait (fig.2) as a kind of certificate rather than a portrait), but the depiction in Christus’s painting seems immature and the depth of the room defies common sense. As the figure seems too large for this narrow space, it could be inferred that the perspective may not…

The painting conveys how the crazy storm is approaching towards the nearby land. From this, people near the shore are running away. They are telling other people to watch out and run away from those big waves. People that are laying on top of the rocks were trying to be safe from the waves. Furthermore, it looks like towards the smaller rocks people were swept from the waves to the land. They are trying to catch their breaths and other people are dragging them away from the shore. On top of that…

The daguerreotype, titled as “Postmortem portrait: man and woman holding deceased baby” is dated 1840-1860 (photographer unidentified, Harvard University visual information access.) It’s a daguerreotype of a couple with their dead baby. The frame seems to be made of wood or leather but it’s unclear since it is worn-out but the inner frame of golden color looks like a honeycomb. There are spots at some place of daguerreotype making it unclear. The shape of the picture is semi-circle from the…

The piece I chose to analyze is Portrait of a Friend of Titian by Renaissance artist Tiziano Vecellio (known in English as Titian). The portrait was painted circa 1550, right in the middle of the “High Renaissance,” or the height of artistic achievement during the Renaissance movement. Titian was likely commissioned to paint this portrait by his friend, as during that time wealthy patrons could afford to have their portraits done by well-known artists. Titian was one of the four most famous…
