As I visited the Chrysler Museum of Arts‚ I looked at several different types of artwork. There was one particular painting that really caught my eye‚ and this was the painting of The Vision of Saint Anthony of Padua by Claudio Coello. As I viewed the painting‚ I noticed that the theatrical backdrop was of an Italianate interior. Located against the backdrop was Anthony of Padua‚ a Franciscan monk dressed in dark robes and baring his head according to the dictates of his order‚ falls to his knees

Comparing Venus of Urbino Through inspiration from Giorgiones’ Sleeping Venus‚ Titian a younger contemporary‚ developed the standard for the female nude‚ in his Venus of Urbino.

The compositional aspects of the painting must

Introducion Birth‚ maternity and death‚ three concepts drawn and sculpted by the hands of Käthe Kollwitz in all her work. Pain can have a rare beauty‚ an adjacent romanticism‚ and this was something that Kollwitz could extract from the essence of her being.

What I Saw in the Water is different from most of Kahlo’s painting because this painting does have a dominant focus. This painting is one of the most creative and unsettling. Frida Kahlo friend Julien Levy explained this painting‚ as “It is an image of passing time about time and childhood games in the bathtub and the sadness of what had happened to her in the course of her life”. She painted her entire life into the bathtub. In this painting you see can some of the same symbols that Kahlo uses in

Mirkin’s article‚ “Aurora Reyes: ataque a la maestra rural‚” was about one of the most iconic women in Mexican history.

Reyes was someone who fought for things that were dear to her such as education‚ children‚ and equality for women. I found it interesting but not surprising that her murals reflected her beliefs and illustrated the
