In this art study, the affect of contemporary museum culture in the United States, Europe, and Egypt define the exhibition trend of “replicating the real” in terms of spatial exhibitions of historical artifacts from Egypt.

In a similar manner, the Louvre presents large rooms with Egyptian…

done by Thomas Eakins, an American realist painter, who also dabbled in photography. Eakins is widely acknowledged to be one of the most important artists in American art history. Throughout Eakins career he had difficulties with the public and critics.

The painting illustrates the prominent surgeon Dr. Samuel Gross conducting a surgery…

The Metropolitan museum of art is a place where history can be seen in many unique depictions.

While the painting is static, one may focus on how gentle the movements are painted. For example, it…

The statue made for the movie was a full bronze casting and was to remain atop the steps of the museum—and indeed it was a popular tourist attraction, Rocky being one of the most famous movies in the world. However, the museum and the Philadelphia Art Commission lobbied for and succeeded in its relocation, leading to legal battles between Stallone and the museum. Now, Rocky Balboa is hardly a…

I chose Van Gogh because I think that his art although it does have a dark meaning behind it is truly beautiful. My favorite painting done by Van Gogh is his painting titled The Starry Night. I am not a huge art fan but since I can remember this is one piece that I thought was done so incredibly well. The way he expressed the way he felt about death in this was amazing he took something so dark and scary to some people and made it into a true work of art. I love the way that he used the stars to…

Magritte's art and development as an artist was influenced during his childhood was his encounter with a painter in a cemetery and state it was as if 'he were performing magic'.
