Art Analysis: Bernardo De Galvez
Bernardo de Galvez was a Spanish military leader who later served as a colonial governor. At the hotel which was named for him, Hotel Galvez, there hangs a picture of the man in full military dress. Many guests have reported that they feel uneasy as they approach the painting and swear that the portraits’ eyes follow them as they move.
The strangest occurrence associated with this painting is how difficult it is to photograph. Tourists and paranormal investigators struggle to get a clear photograph, ending up with blurry pictures and photos that contain strange skeletal images. However if they ask Bernardo’s permission before photographing him they are sometimes able to get a clear image.

    The two images I chose for the analysis paper are Martini, Simone and Lippo Memmi, Annunciation with Saints Ansanus and Margherita (1333) and Brunelleschi, Filippo, Dome of Florence Cathedral (1420-36). The reason I chose these are because they relate to the Catholic religion in different ways. The Annunciation with Saints Ansanus and Margherita was the beginning of the Catholic art during the Gothic time period while the Dome of Florence Cathedral was not only a masterpiece of artwork it was also a breakthrough for the construction during that time and for the rest of history.…

    The work of the Spanish painter Paco Pomet (Granada, 1970) inserts itself against the flow in the contemporary visual culture of intensive production of images vindicating the use of the imagination to challenge the common, and obsolete, perception of reality. For the execution of his paintings, the artist selects anonymous images, usually from photographic archives, and reproduces them with astonishing accuracy and exceptional technical mastery. Along with this operation, Pomet distorts the meaning of the original image in different ways: integrating an element alien to the thematic depicted, and usually humorous; deforming the limbs or physical extremities of the beings he portrays; combining diverse scales; or using bright, almost unreal, colors, among others. The…

    Christina’s World is a painting set in 1948 by American painter Andrew Wyeth, and one of the best known paintings from the late 20th century. It illustrates a woman lying on the ground in a treeless, mostly orangey field, looking up at a gray house on the horizon with barns and small sheds across from the house. The young woman in the painting is Anna Christina Olson. It is said she suffered from polio (a muscular deterioration) that paralyzed her from the waist down. Wyeth had a summer home close to Christina’s and was inspired to draw the painting after he saw her crawling through the field of her home. The painting’s wasted limbs and pink dress belong to Christina Olson. The youthful head and torso belong to Betsy Wyeth (Andrew Wyeth’s wife) who was then in her mid-20s. Although Olson was the inspiration and subject of the painting, she was not the primary ideal.…

    The term renaissance, literally meaning rebirth, was a great revival of classical philosophy an art that began in the Italian town of Florence. In the fourteenth century, when it all began included this movement of extreme originality in aesthetics, although the four past centuries were simply based on classical inspiration. The fifteenth century brought what is now called the Early Renaissance; its first constructions by the Florentine architect Filippo Brunelleschi, in which it established a high standard for the Renaissance. Materials and colors were kept minimal, and important structures were emphasized in gray. Spaces thoughtfully composed, its parts and their interrelationships were artfully articulated.

    o start of by talking about the early Renaissance Art, the definition is that Renaissance “was a period when scholars and artists began to investigate what they believed to be revival of classical learning, literature and art”. The first painting that caught my eyes while reading chapter twelve was the Deposition. This piece was painted by Rogier van der Weyden. The reason why I really liked this piece was because it was a very meaningful piece about Christ. The Deposition is a painting of the removal of Christ’s body from the cross. According to the book, this artwork was very popular in the fifteenth century because of it’s potential for a dramatic, personally engaging portrayal. The book also says that Jesus’ friends seem noticeably real,…

To both of these painting’s in person, you can go to the Royal academy of Arts in London to see the Giampietrino piece and Fontebasso’s piece is found in Museum Fund of the State Hermitage in St Petersburg.…

    I enjoyed reading Gompertz book on modern arts. It was funny, witty and a helpful source to me, someone who doesn’t know too much of nothing about the arts. I learned a lot of different facts and core knowledge and even how some pieces came to be. Will Gompertz made me feel as if I was in the book as he was typing the words in the book. As he told about the different art pieces I felt as I was there as they were being produced.…
