In the painting by Jacques Louis David, The Emperor Napoleon in his study at the Tuileries, 1812 is a formal looking painting with dark colors and the painting is in focus unlike the Impressionism painting technique. The Neoclassicism painting technique is an easier painting to understand and has a classier technique than the other art styles. Impressionism art was established in the late 1800’s.

When looking at an original picture of George Washington you can see that Stuart imitates the fleshy bridge of Washington’s nose with a creamy swirl of paint. There are red shadows in the upper area of his eyelids.
The Madonna and Child is a piece that uses many techniques used during the Renaissance period such as one point perspective, balance, use of geometric design, and religious themes. While the Madonna and Child is very different from the first piece of art that I chose to analyze Buddha Seated in Meditation as both works of art use different mediums, come from different historical periods, and have different religious influences the artists both used symmetry and balance and religious themes while completing their works. The colors used by Raphael in this painting are very bright colors. In this particular painting Raphael used primary colors ,this painting is polychromatic in that it uses many different colors.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Assignment The Painting of “Rebecca and Sir Brian de Bois- Guilbert” Written by Mohammed Khan Art 10000 SEK Professor Sierra Rooney The Painting of “Rebecca and Sir Brian de Bois- Guilbert” This painting, Rebecca and Sir Brian de Bois- Guilbert was painted in the France by Leo Cogniet around the years 1794-1880.

Both figures are exquisitely crafted and detailed; their bodies look immaculate and sculpted to a serene perfection. The background of the painting shows columns, relatively large columns at that. They are both Ionic and Doric in stature and are surrounded by ox skulls. “Gossart likely based this fanciful setting on sketches he had made of architectural structures while in Rome.” The detail and focus on not only main characters but the surrounding scene as well strongly suggests the notion of Baroque art.

Rosie Wahlers Masterpieces of Western Art James-Jacques-Joseph Tissot (1836-1902) Edgar Degas (1867-8) Paris, France 39.161 Aura of an Artist The Metropolitan Museum of Art boasts an impressive array of work by the 19th century French Masters– according to its website, “the most important collection of large-scale painting by these masters outside of France.” The gallery “Manet and Impressionism” is populated by titillating portraits: there are proud matadors and elegant women, a crucified Christ, a vibrant bouquet of flowers beside an elderly lady.
