This is a painting by Renaissance artist, Raphael. I like it because it has a nice symmetrical composition and I like the illusion of the linear perspective. - Kristen Pineda

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon by Picasso, this painting is not just the body of women but of the different view of the female body no matter the work/job they do, women are women. I choose this painting because of the meaning and viewing part that was put in the painting and the different detailing within each body part.

Raphael made an amazing work. The School of Athens is my favorite artwork because It looks pretty perfect. The Symmetry in the work is great. I like the medium too. The people in the work have different colored clothes that make a nice piece.

The stone breakers was my favorite depiction of the Realist ideas because it shows hard work and not any romanticizing like other movements such as Rococo. It shows the men working, and the grass dead as it usually is depending on the area. Courbet did not show their faces to not tell a story and instead depict what was shown. That’s what I really like, the fact there was no face shown. - Sutton Crouch

Man in a bowler Hat
The Man in the bowler hat painting is my favorite painting from Gallery 8 because of how surreal it really is. Magritte captured the peace in the painting but business and confusion in the dove.

I really found this piece eye-catching and very different from other pieces in the Early Renaissance. It is almost cartoonish with the bright blues, greens, pinks, and whites, and that sharp yellow ray of sunshine that draws us into the focal point of the piece, the oversized Mary. I also love how the angel in the pink has no shadow. That is a subtle detail and not one that immediately jumps out but it leaves it feeling unnatural and sort of fantastical, and I really like that.

I like this painting a lot for being out of the norm of some of the other paintings. Rembrandt really was not afraid of using red here, and it's almost entirely made up of hues of red (the black background and the father's white beard prevent that I suppose). I found the fact that the son has his left shoe off very interesting, I guess it represents the hurry he is in to embrace his father, although there may be some symbolic religious meaning as well. It strays from the typical genre paintings of Dutch Baroque as well because I believe this is a religious story, but it is still executed in a very normal, non-religious way, without any golden halos, rays of light, or religious symbols.

I chose this building because it is quite honestly mesmerizing to observe. The undulating patterns makes the structure seem full of dynamic movement and with such fluidity that it seems unreal. I also really like how the inside is so impossibly symmetrical, so full of geometry and math. I love how it is so carefully mathematically planned, filled with geometry, and has theological ideas that behind the earthly chaos is a god that created a perfect universe based on mathematical and scientific principles. - Jose Leon

I found this painting really dazzling as it almost makes the wind visible through the brushwork. The grass seems to move with the wind and the woman's dress folds so effortlessly and fluidly. The clouds also seem to follow this pattern. I also like the simplicity and color palette, it is very soothing. I can almost feel the soft sun on my cheeks and the cool breeze carrying the smell of flowers. - Jose Leon

I chose the Isenheim Altarpiece because when we think of the Renaissance, we think of hyperrealistic, overly idealized paintings from the Italian Renaissance. Often, however, we under-appreciate how beautiful the Northern Renaissance was in its own way, especially the German Renaissance. This painting, contrary to the Italian Renaissance, conveys and evokes in the viewer an incredible amount of pain and suffering from Jesus and the other subjects of the painting. It is very dark, emotionally charged, and unidealized, showing Jesus's body more realistically aligned with what it would have looked like during the crucifixion– deformed, green, sickly. - Jose Leon

I chose this sculpture because at first glance it appeared like a simple sculpture, but I love it because of how complex it can possibly be due to the many possible interpretations. I think it is very symbolic and critiques society of things like hurtful, unrealistic beauty standards; the sexualization of women's bodies; visualizes of the silent and unperceived struggle with mental illnesses such as eating disorders; and expresses the fragility of the human body and how meaningless our existence. -Jose Leon

I like this sculpture because is made out of bronze. I also find it very interesting because is the first freestanding nude male sculpture made since antiquity. I also find it funny that he is wearing boots and a shepherds hat. I also like the fact that this David is young, so young that his muscles have barely developed enough to hold the sword.

I liked this painting because I found it very interesting. I like the idea of seeing Velazquez in the painting. I like how Phillip and Mariana are shown reflected in a mirror on the back wall. the painting is quite dramatic. I also like the contrast between light and dark (chiaroscuro)

Created by sixteenth-century venetian artist Tiziano Vecellio, Venus of Urbino is my favorite piece from this gallery. The colors all stand out to make a gorgeous piece, with the warm, golden woman, the blending of colors composing the white sheets and pillows, and the striking red beneath her. Not to mention the venetian sky in the background. Overall, I just find the Venus of Urbino to be a beautiful work of art. - Alora Warren

Created by French rococo painter, Jean-Honore Fragonard, The Swing is one of may favorite artworks found in Gallery 6. The whimsical, almost playful mood is seen throughout the painting. Through the bright or almost pastel colors to the motion of the mistress swinging. It is just a pretty piece to look out. - Alora Warren

The swing is by Jean-Honore Fragonard. This is my favorite piece of art from the Gallery 6, because I love the detail and how the background is dark but there is light shining through. And the playful emotion makes it so much better because it makes you also feel free and like a kid when you look at it.

The "Starry Night" which was made by Vincent van Gogh is one of my favorite pieces of art. The reason why I like is because you get to see the sky blend in with it self and has bright stars.

David, a sculpture by Donatello, is a good example of Early Renaissance Art. In this sculpture, we see a loss of the Greek ideas of perfect bodies and religious-godlike bodies. Donatello is accredited for bringing back nude bodies from Greek-style art. Contrapposto by the Greeks was carried through Early Renaissance art. - Cole Perkins

One-piece that shows Baroque-style art is in The Martyrdom of St. Philip. In this painting, we see dramatic movements and actions. The focal piece is a slim guy looking like he is holding on with his whole body. Heightened realism is also a big element in baroque art. We see fluidity between people in the background and people talking to one another. I really enjoy the Baroque-style art and enjoyed comparing this piece to Renaissance art.- Cole Perkins

The Stone Breakers, he depicts the expression of human misery. The idea of showing human labor was used during this time and especially in Gustave Courbet’s works. Realism was characterized by showing lower-class individuals and human labor, a realistic color pallets, and a lack of emotions. I enjoy Realism and I think this painting showcases that very well.- Cole Perkins

While creating Diner, Estes used acrylic paint to get a realistic feel when looking at the painting. He used a reference photo and tried to replicate this in his own way through a painting. Estes layers and merges multiple viewpoints to create many detailed scenes that reward the viewer with careful looking. His images are more sophisticated than they appear to be at first glance. Going with what I said from Gallery 7, I enjoy the Realism art.- Cole Perkins

At first I was hesitant to call "The Swing" my favorite because it's such a beloved piece, but I decided to add it here. The colors are so pretty and the lighting really adds emphasis to the woman. None of the other paintings in Gallery 6 enchanted me as much as "The Swing" did. -Jessica Erwin

I like how empty and real this painting is. Often times when we think about the 1940's, we think of WW2 and the battles fought across the world. We never really hear from the people still living in the U.S. about their experiences in the war. I think this painting is important because the time period was such a somber time and this painting reflects the nation's emotions about the war. -Jessica Erwin

Even before taking this course this has been one of my favorite art pieces.  I love the use of symbolism and personification of the virtues.  I’ve always loved mythology and the depiction of the virtues and how the family is portrayed reminds me of that a lot.  I also love how light and almost airy the colors feel and really do make it seem like you’re in some sort of heaven.

This work is of the impressionism movement. I love the movement created by the rough brush strokes and how successful Monet was at capturing the wind and movement while keeping lighting and shape easily visual. the arm for example on the woman is easily seen yet doesn't have harsh shading defining it.

Chuck close worked in the superrealism movement. Something i really like about not only this work but also his other works is the fact that he had a disorder called "Face Blindness." He did very realistic portraits deamed unflattering because of their realism- yet he had this circled pattern. it looks like a face afar but like blobs close. I love how he keeps his superrealism nature while depicting the confusion of photo blindness when you step closer.

This is among my favorite paintings from the Renaissance, specifically from Leonardo da Vinci. We didn't learn about it in the gallery, but I recently read a biography on Da Vinci, and I noticed this painting for the first time. I find it really fascinating how Leonardo was able to master anatomy and facial expression just from his research. The lighting in the painting is also incredibly accurate.

Fragonard's 'The Swing' is mesmerizing to look at. I love this painting because lighting and depth are used to spark a sense of mystery and lightheartedness. Jean Honore Fragonard painted in detail to add to the realism he was trying to achieve.

I used to live in New York City, and I visited the MoMA countless times. I remember seeing this painting for the first time; I did not like it at first because I stood too close to it. When you are observing Monet's paintings, you have to see it from a distance to see the beauty in it. At first, the painting seemed like a confusing blend of rough brushstrokes, but when I walked to the back of the room to observe it, its beauty hit me. That confusing blend turned into a lovely coalition of colors.

I've loved this sculpture since I saw it for the first time at the Metropolitan Museum of Art a few years ago. I can tell that Modigliani was inspired by African art because of the woman's elongated face and nose. I really like how the woman's elongated face adds elegance to the sculpture.
