It is widely believed that The Arnolfini Portrait, painted by Jan van Eyck in is one of the most skilfully painted pieces of work of the 15th century, not simply for the many layers of oil paint thinly applied to create a beautifully detailed rendering of the occasion, but also because of the many instances of “disguised symbolism” , so that it creates an intensely complex scope for art historians to analyse and identify the exact meaning of the painting, and the identity of the couple. “Van Eyck was one of the earliest Flemish painters” (The Biography.com 2014), and this is one of his most noted paintings because it is unlike anything of its period, as a similar full length panel painting of a marriage contract does not appear around the same
This painting was commissioned by the Congress in 1836 and installed in Rotunda in 1847. In this painting John Vandelyn was trying to show one of the accomplishments of Christopher Columbus have done. In the painting you can clearly see Columbus claiming the land that him and his sailors landed on. In spite of the natives that is there observing fearfully in the background.

Van Honthorst’s use of line within this work of art, makes the girl seem to fade into the dark background of the image. The texture in this painting are characteristic of seventeenth century northern European art. The texture within this work of art are realistic as though what is in the painting could be touched and feel like silk on the sleeves of the dress and the feathers look like they feel soft and fluffy. There is a great range of value within this piece, the background of the painting is very dark while the girl in the painting has very pale skin making her stand out from the dark background. This image is asymmetrical, the way that the girl is seated and holding the oval portrait make the painting unbalanced, the image would be symmetrical if the girl was facing forward rather than a three-fourths view of her.
Nevertheless, brush strokes go deep. They scratch our thin optimism when he brings us the treasures of the humble: their little joys-so joyous in their constant misery-so appalling-their daily ways, goings and comings. And he has beaten out a style of his own to render these surfaces, a style that is still and somber-he can represent absolute repose in a curiously suggestive manner. He paints dark pictures-there are only three or four light ones in this exhibition; and he has a feeling for night, for the mystery and fear of strange corners.
Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter who was very influential on 20th century art. He was born in Groot-Zundert ,Netherlands, 1853. In contrast to the impressionists, Van Gogh’s works were known for portraying symbolic content, formal order, and structure. Post-impressionists believed that color should be independent from the composition’s form and structure to portray emotion and to narrate a story. Post-impressionist continued to use vivid color, thick application of paint, and proper geometric form, but distorted all aspects to express effect.
The book is about ways of seeing things that present around. Berger suggests that it is wrong common assumption that our ways of perception are spontaneous. Our ways of perception are manipulated by publicity and shaped by the rise capitalism and consumerism. Berger questions some the traditions of European art history. Actually, the book is not about the specific paintings, but about the ways that people see and understand the art now.
The image on the left is The Old Church at Nuenen which was one of van Gogh’s earlier paintings. It had more somber and dark colors where it used more of a literal representation with the colors and the lighting instead of how The Church at Auvers. Van Gogh eventually became an impressionist so the painting on the right is influenced more by that time period in art with the wavy distorted lines to make the church appear to look like it’s melting and the many bright colors use a scheme to have viewers and critics to move their eyes around the painting with more excitement and without have to follow along a boring horizon. This very much showed the change in his artwork and where he may have peaked to having more depression and epileptic seizures

In his biographical essay “Legend: Willem de Kooning,” Baron Wormser accounts Willem de Kooning’s odyssey from Rotterdam, Netherlands, to New York City, and explores de Kooning’s transformation from an amateur sign and furniture painter to a professional abstract expressionist artist. Respectively, Wormser frames his essay based on Willem de Kooning’s frame of mind, not only to reveal de Kooning’s subconscious thoughts and feelings on his life and work, but to also pay homage to de Kooning’s authentic sense of self which was one of both color and black and white: the color representing his “instinctive romantic[ism]” (202), passion, and grit, and the black and white signifying the grey and rusts of his soul in a hopeless era. Unlike most of

Searching for a painting that really spoke to me was hard, I was searching for quite a while, until I found Bedroom in Arles. There are many things in this painting that would catch a viewer 's eye; the reason the painting caught my eye was because it was much more vibrant and colorful that all the other artworks I saw, that is why it attracted me. “Bedroom in Arles created” in 1888 by the word renowned artist Vincent Van Gogh was painted to represent himself, who he was as a person, and the life he lived.
