The castle like structure in the the back adds to the overall vibe of the painting as well as giving a sense of security for the mother and her children. ]]> 2023-02-21 02:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2489115608 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2490500734 This piece is my favorite because it's one of the few that are in a circular format and have a nice interwinding and flowy border. I also really like how the child is looking so interested in the book even though they probably can't read but they are so invested in the story that their mother is telling them. I think that the background with the lake and thin trees make a really quiet an calm atmosphere to go to read to a child. ]]> 2023-02-22 02:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2490500734 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2491731373 This particular painting is my favorite because I think it captures the beauty behind the motherly role perfectly. I like how Raphael utilizes warm tones and oil paint to show the Renaissance values of Madonna and her children. Additionally, the scenery is beautiful as it reveals a poppy sprouting behind Madonna to represent rebirth. ]]> 2023-02-22 21:03:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2491731373 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2491772388 This oil on wood painting is my favorite art piece from Raphael because I think it is absolutely beautiful and fascinating to look at. I enjoy the warm colors that Raphael chose to use because it makes the painting pop out and is absolutely eye-striking. I also love the symbolism shown through the piece, like the bird in the baby's hand (in Renaissance religious paintings, the small bird typically shown in baby Jesus' hand represents the soul, resurrection, sacrifice, and death).]]> 2023-02-22 22:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2491772388 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2491878205 Raffello Sanzio created various incredible art pieces as part of his Madonnas' work. Out of the ones in the video, this piece was this piece labeled as "Our Lady of Pasadena" was my favorite. Overall this piece has a lot of depth to it, the focus is the woman with a child in her lap. The facial expression between the two has been painted with delicate details so that the viewer can feel their bond and love for each other. In addition to this, I liked how Rafello used oil pastels to carefully paint everything from the center to the background with beautiful detail. These details can be seen from the texture painted, and the color scheme carefully chosen. A specific detail that captured my attention was the color scheme. The painting followed a specific color palette of tones of brownish/yellowish colors throughout making the whole piece come together beautifully. ]]> 2023-02-23 00:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2491878205 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2495406868 One reason this piece is my favorite is because of the little smile on the baby's face and the way that he is looking towards us (the viewer of this scene) draws us into this painting, like we are a part of the situation. There is almost a mischievous smile on the baby's face, since he is playing with his mother's shirt - it is as if he knows what he is doing and is being playfully naughty. Madonna is also smiling and looking at her baby endearingly, as she gently tries to stop him from proceeding to put his hand down her shirt. There is quite a lighthearted, humorous atmosphere that Raphael evokes in this scene. I also admire how he captures the flow and transparency of the cloth on Madonna's head and how he is able to paint a very thin, but still visible halo around each of the subjects' heads.

I chose this painting because it stood out the most. I likes how in the background you are able to see the sky and the field. It adds color and life to the painting. I also though the bright colors of blue and red on the dress made her stand out. There is just so much attention to details in this painting from facial expressions to painting singular strands of hair. ]]> 2023-02-26 21:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2495522552 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2495583724 I chose Raphael's "The Holy Family with Palm" because I enjoy a few things about its composition. The first thing that stood out to me was actually the background. It is incredibly realistic when compared to his other artworks of the same time period. The background helps to create a sense of space and depth in the painting, and it also provides a setting for the Holy Family. The colors used are also bright and vibrant. Secondly, the emotions depicted are those of family intimacy and convey a sense of emotion. Mary is shown looking down at her son with a tender expression, while Joseph is also looking towards his son with a contemplative gaze.]]> 2023-02-26 23:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2495583724 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2495586639 This oil painting by Raphael is from 1508. This painting isn't much different from the others but from the position of the baby and mother, there is more of a connection between them. I enjoy this photo because it shows a mothers love, its warm and touching. This image also adds a lot of detail in the clothing and in their face expressions which helps tell a story. ]]> 2023-02-26 23:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2495586639 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2495790441 I chose "Madonna of the Meadow", which is an oil on panel from 1506. I really love this depiction of the Madonna and the Child because it struck me with such emotion when I saw it. I felt like I could feel the tiredness that Mary was feeling in her eyes, but then I looked lower and saw the way her lips curl up into a slight smile as she looks at the baby Jesus. It reminded me that while she is undergoing this holy task, she is still a human. I also love how the Child is portrayed as well. His body is of flesh and blood and you can truly remember that with his anatomy. Especially with the way his baby fat curves and folds as Mary supports him. You can also see how he is learning to walk as one foot points toward the viewer as he tries to walk to the left. Despite this, I felt that his gaze was very deliberate as he looks to St. John the Baptist, reminding us that he knows why he is here on earth.]]> 2023-02-27 04:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2495790441 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2495913105 After looking at all the paintings I found this one to be the most interesting because of all the detail in the background. The amount of detail that is put into the castle, hills, and water just for the background is amazing. I like how the subject of the painting is depicted as a loving and protective mother watching over her children as they grow. ]]> 2023-02-27 06:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2495913105 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2615441395 2023-06-06 04:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2615441395 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2617860543 I absolutely adore "The Holy Family Canigiani" because of its serene depiction of familial love. The balanced composition, coupled with the subtle interplay of light and shadow, truly resonates with my aesthetic sensibilities. What's more, the blend of the divine and the everyday in this painting appeals to my fascination with the exploration of spiritual themes.]]> 2023-06-08 04:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2617860543 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2618664319 While looking through the pieces made by Raffello, I came across the Sistine Madonna. The piece has a balanced design using techniques such as illusion and church symbolism. It depicts the Virgin Mary holding Jesus in her arms with two saints on either side with clouds in the background.  In the lower bottom, there are two winged angels gazing above the three figures. When looking in the center, the three figures are positioned in a triangular way giving a sense of stability between the three figures emphasizing the Virgin Mary. The lighting in the piece in the upper left half creates somewhat a sense of depth and volume. The drapes around the three figures can also divert your eyes to the nature and composition of the central three figures. The emotions captured by the two saints are connected spiritually to the viewer creating somewhat of an importance to understanding the piece.]]> 2023-06-08 23:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2618664319 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2620455928 Everything about this painting is so intricate, every single character in it has the same amount of detail and no one part is overlooked. The color scheme is extremely cohesive yet muted with brown, red, and blue tones. Everybody has almost a surprised expression on their face and only one of the people are looking directly at Mary. The angels at the top looking down are probably my favorite part, their wings are beautiful tones of orange and brown.]]> 2023-06-12 00:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2620455928 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2620484686 Out of all the art pieces attributed to Raphael the Perla Di Modena looked more appealing to me because of the vast black foreground behind Madonna. The black behind Madonna brings out the portrait with a lot of life. As if it's trying to show how Madonna brought light to the painting herself. All though it may be one of his easier pieces of work I think its one of the most richest and beautiful pieces.]]> 2023-06-12 01:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2620484686 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2620612262 In the video, one of the pieces i saw that has caught my attention was the Pearl of Modena oil painting on board by Raphael. This particular painting is my favorite mostly because it's obviously that it's a portrait because l love how they can express themselves alot more and gives the person alot more character such as facial expressions, and body language. I like how the oil on this painting makes it look more vintage like and character to the model. Another reason this piece caught my attention was because this was the only piece that had a portrait model out of all the others, and it seems to make me think why there is suddenly a portrait in the mixed when the rest had a baby along with the mother.]]> 2023-06-12 03:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2620612262 https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2620696562 The painting dates back to 1504-1505. I chose it because its colors are consistent and the landscape in the background with the blue sky, the castle and the small village. The child's face and expressions make you feel that the picture is real.]]> 2023-06-12 04:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bri2212293/hkm2izg980h6upui/wish/2620696562
