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. The work is very colorful‚ and it shows chiaroscuro with the dark background and light on the faces of Salome and John the Baptist. The focal point is on John’s head.

students used the day on Wednesday to go into the city to visit the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. It was a cold‚ breezy day so we were all bundled up in jackets and hats. As we got off the E train and walked toward the museum‚ its appearance was not what I expected it to be.
