https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc The painting depicts Christopher Columbus's first landing in the New World. en-us 2021-02-04 17:11:23 UTC 2026-01-24 14:10:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165612409 What I think about this painting is it is very bias towards Columbus. What I also analyze is a lot of flags which are all very colorful. And all the crosses across the painting like the ship and on some of the flag to the right hand side. There is also a very bright and sunny scene almost making it look happy and joyful. There is 2 people in the bottom left hand of the painting both holding flags. I notice that Columbus is holding a flag that is also very bright maybe for putting it in too the soil or even the sand that Columbus is walking on]]> 2021-02-04 19:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165612409 https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165612595 The aspect of the painting that stood out to me most was the use of the color white. Historically, the color white represented purity and divinity. This may have been indicative of Salvador Dali’s support of Columbus’s actions, as a way of “sharing their culture” with the natives. ]]> 2021-02-04 19:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165612595 p24jlynch https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613146 The discovery of America by salvador Dali Is a very bright and happy painting that Dali had made. I notice that there are a lot of flags and crosses spread across the painting. I see Columbus carrying the boat onto the land and somebody praising him with a cross. I also notice that there are 3 people in the bottom right holding up what seems be be a very tall cross. ]]> 2021-02-04 19:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613146 https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613216 My analysis from this paining is crosses mostly seen to the right. It looks like the person who drew this used light value. Low contrast. I notice a boat sailing into what looks like clouds from the bottom of the page.]]> 2021-02-04 19:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613216 p24grippey https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613271 One thing that I notice about the painting is the woman on the left hand side of the painting. She seems very relevant because of how big she is. The person dragging the boat along is Christopher Columbus. He looks very younger then he really was when he discovered America. I bet the artist did this to make Christopher look better because the artist believed that he was a great person. There are many crosses and Spaniard colors.]]> 2021-02-04 19:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613271 https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613347 I wonder who the woman is on the flag that Christopher Columbus is holding.
There are many flags.
I also notice that there are many people holding staff like objects that are in a shape of a cross that are huge in comparison to their body size.]]> 2021-02-04 19:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613347 https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613713 I notice that there are what seem to be people holding flags on poles in the background. Most of these poles have crosses at the top of them. In addition, on the left there is a woman, likely Mary with some type of banner behind her. Most importantly, in the middle of the painting Columbus’s ship is shown sailing the water. I believe the ship is put in the center to show how important Dali sees Columbus as.]]> 2021-02-04 19:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613713 https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613838 The painting by Dali is very bright, with a very happy mood. It seems like Dali wanted to make this painting like they were bringing salvation and civilization. Their is a lot of crosses which makes me think Dali thought that god was on Columbus’s side.]]> 2021-02-04 19:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613838 https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613866 One thing that I noticed about this panting was all of the flags on the right of the ship. I do not know exactly what they are, but they could be flags of different Spanish territories. I also see lots of crosses on and around the ship, this might mean that god is with Columbus and his crew throughout his journey.]]> 2021-02-04 19:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165613866 https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165614022 The banner next to Columbus with an angel I think symbolizes that God was with him on his journey and was represented as a religious conquest.]]> 2021-02-04 19:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165614022 p24ccallahan https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165614098 I notice that Salvador Dali painted the background of the painting like a scene from heaven, kind of calling Columbus a god-type figure. There are also a lot of crosses, which continues to prove my point. Columbus is also dressed like an important person from the Bible times, with his white and blue robe.]]> 2021-02-04 19:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165614098 https://padlet.com/tdequesada/mae1zxxtu7rfd7cc/wish/1165614936 I noticed there is a person walking out of the boat maybe holding a flag with either an angel or the Virgin Mary on it.
