Earthly Delights” by Heironymus Bosch, this painting is a part of our first year read book that is brought up on many occasions by Frans Dee Waal who relates it back to the Bonobos. This painting required much time looking at and much research. To me this painting has made me come to think so much about temptations that we fight in our life, to me as a college student there’s so many temptations that I fight everyday, They are displayed in the painting through fruits there is a bramble bush that grows black berries, a pelican feeding its young, men holding fruit with a stroke’s head, they represent that temptations are all around us, they can consume us and they will make us weak. To give some background on the painting, the painting is a triptych, which were made for religious purpose and placed on a alter in the churches, but if you when you are to look at this painting you don’t see that…

In the first semester, I took studio art class. In this class I was assigned the task of creating a triptych of a fruit. A triptych is a piece of art that shows something in three different stages. I chose to create a triptych of a mango. I chose this fruit because it is my favorite fruit and I thought it would look great in a triptych. I got the okay from my teacher Ms. Boncher and started researching mangos. To create my triptych I started by researching the different shapes in a…
Triptych Artist Statement The theme of my triptych is about illustrating how ambiguous the perception of one’s appearance can have about an individual’s moral standpoint of being a good or bad person as ultimately, there is no definite answer as they coexist in each person regardless of appearance. Throughout the three pieces, I depicted one generic human figure that did not feature any human characteristics. This enabled the triptych to appeal to a diverse group of viewers. Each piece…
d’Auvergne Triptych, also called the Annunciation with Saints and Donors is a three part, wood panel that depicts the Annunciation of the Angel Gabriel to Mary that she is to be the mother of Christ as described in the Gospel of Luke. As a foldable triptych, the art has remained amazingly well preserved without any conservation efforts, however, additional scanning and research had exposed some interesting changes and edits made to the image that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. These…

I have chosen to use Dr Sasaki because of his dedication and commitment he had to the people of Hiroshima. The triptych reflects the before, middle and after math of the attacks on Hiroshima and Dr Sasaki’s involvement and connection with the bombing of Hiroshima. In my triptych, I have told the story of Dr Saskai’s…

The two works are vastly different – Rego’s piece features bright colors and jarring imagery while Manet’s piece employs subdued colors and less narrative – but evoke a…
Billings is considered the first true American composer whose hymns and songs were popular during the American Revolution. New England Triptych was commissioned in 1954for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra by the well-known Pops conductor Andre Kostelanetz who wanted “something with an American background”. Schuman had previously written an overture based on Billings whose works, according to Schuman, “capture the sinewy ruggedness, deep religiosity, and patriotic fervor that we associate with…
The elongated horizontal length of the work becomes evocative of the screen paintings or triptychs in early Japan. While this work of Aoki Shigeru is dated to be a part of the Meiji period, I believe it is more accurate to state that “The Gift of the Sea,” reflects the trend of yōga art during the early Taisho period. “The Gift of the Sea,” like the other Meiji yōga works of art, adopts various western attributes. The painting is made on a traditional western medium of oil, and the…
