However most of his major work were focus on self- portraits and describe the feeling of the characters’ feeling. Rembrandt was also famous by oil painting and carvings. Rembrandt Van Rijn said “choose only one master- nature” or he also said “I cannot paint the way they want me to paint and they know that too.” Basic on the two quotes that he had said, we can tell that he tried to make his works as naturalistic as he can. He would draw what he saw, the way he feel and understand. He could not paint what people what people expected him to do. To me, that is a reason all of his works considered to be very…
We can see that the central figure is emphasized using the technique of Tenebrism as the main figure is dramatically illuminated by light while other figures and the rest of the background are shrouded in darkness. The violent contrast of both the lightness and the dark contribute to how the figure is to be interpreted in a religious way. The use of light as a way to emphasize the figure can be further detected as the artist has depicted the figure as having a glowing ray of light around his head. Though this Rembrandt has incorporated the symbolism of religious enlightenment as this crown of light is commonly used in religious paintings. The use of this…
During warfare people tend to become more self concerned; their well-being becomes more important than others. Within All the light we cannot see Werner puts his wellbeing over Fredrick. When Fredrick is maliciously attracted by fellow students during the weakest training Werner idly stands by, he doesn’t even say a word. “This time he catches Frederick on the jaw… Werner forces his mind to keep sending up images of his home… is this not wrong? But Here it is right (Doerr, 194). After the attack happens Werner feels guilty, but Fredrick doesn’t blame him he even invites him to his home. “Not once has he accused Werner of is betrayal, even though Werner did nothing while Frederick was beaten and has done nothing since (Doerr, 217). Despite going through troubling times the anonymous woman in the memoir A Woman in Berlin goes out of her way to help the older widow. Throughout the diary the woman protects and shares her rations and…
The most prominent theme of the novel highlights war. Doerr’s work of fiction uses physical symbols to showcase the effects of war on people, of resistance to oppression, and the effort of citizens trying to maintain normality, creating a whole better understanding for readers about the outcomes of war. Historians, philosophers, and writers alike can attest to the human struggle to follow a certain moral code; history shows a constant rift between what humans claim they should do and what they actually do. If this rift did not exist, many a crisis and war could be averted, but humanity would not be its beautifully flawed self. In the novel All the Light We Cannot See, Doerr is raved over for “masterfully and knowledgeably recreating the deprived civilian conditions of war-torn France and the strictly controlled lives of the military occupiers” (Hooper 23). However, the use of literary devices in the novel reflects a message deeper than that of just another war-time story. Doerr utilizes the war setting as a means of further exploring the nature of humanity in a distinct context. He does not define the characters by war; he defines the characters and gives them a war to respond…
His works of art are some of the most well-known and inspiring to all who see them. Although he influenced kings and common men alike his life was much of a mystery. He was not only and artist he was also a philosopher, architect, and help to lay the foundation for the discovery of human anatomy. He invented the smoky style of painting that you see in the background of the Mona Lisa and many of his other works of art. The secrets of his life and the discoveries that he made are one of the many reasons that the painting is constantly scrutinized.…

Another component of Rembrandt's paintings that I applied onto my sculpture was the eyes. He painted the eyes sharply, they were bright and popped off the canvas as one of the first things you saw. Infact, he often made dark, subtle backgrounds so the viewer would be drawn into the face and the eyes he created along with the dark backgrounds caught the viewer's gaze. I created my eyes very brightly and soft to convey a Rembrandt look.…
I am extremely sad that color guard season is over. Even though there is a winter guard, I’m not doing it this year. On Tuesday, the entire band went to all the elementary schools and also the middle school to end the season. I have never been to Forest Hunt, and I was surprised how small the gym was. I really enjoyed going back to Harris and seeing my favorite teacher, Mr. Wallace. I’m going to miss all the seniors who graduate this year. Next year will not be the…
The Baroque period encompasses many distinct styles due to the religious tension between the Protestants and Catholics. Through their baroque paintings, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn and Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio were among the many artists to have different interpretations of the baroque style due to whether they lived in the north or south. Rembrandt’s Return of the Prodigal Son and Caravaggio’s The Entombment both show biblical scenes. However, the impacts of their paintings are quite different due to the use of light. Although both works of art have a religious influence and were painted during the baroque period, they differ in the way light is used to highlight different aspects of the paintings. Rembrandt’s use of light portrays a sense of reserve and ambience. On the other hand, Caravaggio’s harsh use of light puts a spotlight on the characters and creates a dramatic tone for the painting.…
