Bieshelt ART F200X

  View of the City of Edinburgh This first piece of art created by Alexander Nasmyth in 1822, displays a nice calm landscape, this seemed to be similar to half the art in this period. It has a nice blend of colors reaching from light to dark. Has nice form in the depth of the picture with objects in the background. It also seemed to have a little bit of texture look to it with the detailing on the trees and river bed.  View of the castle of Heidelberg With a very similar art name, from Carl Anton J. Rottmann painted in 1815, this piece of art is similar with the focus on the landscape and specifically of a castle. This piece has a bright focal point of light that the artists uses well in the art pulling shadows from it. Similarly does a good job with the different levels of the picture making it seem 3 dimensional. The lines in both of these works are very organic following the nature they are copying.  Bonaparte Visits the Plague Stricken in Jaffa This art by A...

  Apotheosis of Homer This painting made by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres in 1827. The coloring in this painting is interesting more color than has been used compared to other art work before this. There is still a major color contrast to bring attention to the parts they want detailed. This art work still holds onto the religion influence with having angels and a centered godly being. Less clear lines in this style, doing more blending into the surroundings.  Oath of the Horatii This painting was made by Jacques-Louis-David and completed in 1785. This artwork has strong color contrast to keep the attention in the front and out of the background that has less detail. It has some more violence than some of the previous artworks but it seems to be in defense of others so likely playing into religion standing up for others. The shading does allow the artwork to have a form like view making the columns have depth.  Virgil reading the ''Aeneid'' to Augustus and Octavia Paint...

 Alter of the Kings                The Alter of the Kings created by Jeronimo de Balbas, it is a sculpture in a catholic church in Mexico City, Mexico. It was created by Jeronimo de Balbas, a Spanish artist. This was connected to the Council of Trent, promoting the Catholic Church. This art work was credited completion in 1737, this was about 200 years after the Council of Trent but still is displaying praise of the characters in the catholic church.      The art work does a good job of using lines to draw the views eyes around the artwork being able to see of the talent and elements that went into the creation. It is a very large piece, they used the space very well to put mass amounts of detail but to also be able to organize it in ways like putting god above all others. The color contrast comes as a surprise to me, they have all the gold in the sculptures parts that is bright and reflective and that contrasts strongly w...
