After visiting the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts‚ I will write about four art works. The first one is called Salome Receiving the Head of St. John the Baptist by Andrea Solario.

This is one of Solario’s most notable works‚ and the figure style is influenced by Leonardo Da Vinci. The story behind the painting is that Herodias had a quarrel

Leonardo’s fame as an artist based on only a few pieces of art. What made him take the most chances was that he was less concerned with literature and strict traditions in art. He rather revolutionized art by making math‚ engineering‚ and geometric concepts ingrained concepts within his work. 2. What was the debate between painting and sculpture during the High Italian Renaissance? The debate was wheter or not painting and sculpture were liberal arts or not.

During the Early to High Empire period‚ the Roman Empire was at the peak of wealth‚ power and status.

I thought it was interesting and intriguing that it discussed the views of most hearing people and talked about why they aren’t necessarily right. Many of the facts‚ opinions‚ and details of how things had been dealt with in the past completely surprised me. One of the most surprising things for me was how each culture viewed one another; which was almost all negative. Of course‚ not all people in each category have those
