Formal Art Analysis Hailey Niemi The Starry Night that was done in 1889 is an oil on canvas painting. This is a very famous work of art and a very complex‚ beautiful piece.

Francisco Goya’s oil painting of Saturn Devouring His Son comes from a short story where Saturn learns of his fate

For readers who have ever had their heart broken or dreams crushed‚ “Araby” by James Joyce may be a flashback to a reality long forgotten. The young boy transforms before the eyes of the reader before one can actually grasp the fact of what is happening.

At the center of the Sogno‚ an idealized male nude perches precariously on an open box filled with masks. His upper torso twists to his left as he leans on a sphere for support. He turns his head in the opposite direction‚ looking upward and over his right shoulder to watch a winged creature descent from above. Considerably smaller
