For this painting Johannes Vermeer used charcoal‚ chalk‚ tempera‚ white lead‚ red and yellow ochre‚ vermillion and oil paints in various tones most of which he grinded up himself daily. No one knows how Johannes Vermeer made the initial drawing for this painting but it is thought that preliminary drawing on the canvas was to act as a guide during the painting and also intended to fix the significant contours of the composition. Once the initial outline drawing was finished he began the underpainting

The three works that I have studied are all works of portraiture‚ not just portraiture but all the works are self-portraits. These artists use color to emphasize the tone and mood of the art. Van Gogh uses various cool blue tones in “Self portrait with Bandaged Ear” to set the visual path and give rise to rhythm. Frida uses repeated golds and warm browns to harmonize the “Self Portrait Dedicated to Dr. Eloesser”. She also uses vivid colors to emphasize the flowers and “beautiful” things. As far of

Artists artworks are often self portraits because they reflect the emotions and thoughts that the artist possesses while they are creating the piece. Our mind‚ body and soul are all connected and therefore our thoughts are a reflection of ourselves and our identity. A self portrait is a representation of ourselves and it is for this reason that a self portrait is not restricted to the classic image of our body or facial features. Rather‚ self portraits are any creations produced by an artist. Del

I will be discussing a painting by Gustav Moreau titled The Apparition. This painting was painted with watercolors in the year 1876. It can be found at the Musée du Louvre in Paris‚ France. This two dimensional piece of traditional art gives us insight into how truly talented Moreau was; this painting seems much too detail oriented to be anything like most watercolor paintings seen today. Watercolor paintings typically consist of building up many layers with colors due to the pigments being so transparent

Ruisdael’s painting‚ Wheatfields‚ depicts a Dutch rural panoramic landscape. The medium used is oil on canvas and the actual size of the composition is very large‚ which adds to the grandeur created through his techniques of depiction. Ruisdael painted Wheatfields in c. 1670 in the later years of his life. The organisation of Ruisdael’s pictorial space encourages the spectator to feel small. The mass of the rustic‚ realistic natural environment is encumbering‚ with the small figures of people and

For the Final assignment‚ the image I chose to analyze and critique was Girl with a Kitten by Lucian Freud. My first impression of this piece was that it was pretty perplexing. There is not much happening in it besides a woman who seems to be strangling a little kitten without what seems to be any remorse for doing so—so‚ naturally‚ I immediately had questions regarding what exactly is happening in this work. Though there is still so much to understand and comprehend about it‚ I initially

Early 19th-century painter Theodore Gericault was very fascinated by the human mind. With a family and personal history of mental illness‚ Gericault strove to depict the darker and more mysterious aspects of life in his artwork. As a Romanticist‚ Gericault attempted to communicate intense human experience through his paintings; his piece Madwoman with a Mania of Envy‚ for example‚ is one of several of Gericault’s portraits of the insane possessing a peculiar hypnotic power (Gardner 654).

The Impressionist Movement‚ an art movement in France‚ lasted from around 1862-1886. It was a movement focused on color‚ light‚ and perception. In addition‚ the Impressionist painters often tended to use more distinct and free brushstrokes rather than distinct lines in their art. During this time‚ a now well-known painter‚ Claude Monet‚ was an active artist in France. What will be considered is whether Monet should be judged an authority on Impressionism. The obvious answer appears to be “of course”
