Design for a Title Page by Gerard Van Nijmegan


This art catch my attention because of the shading and color of this picture. The texture is well detailed as it shows strong emotions between the two people. The background stands out the most as the shading is done well.

The Getty Museum

My experience at the Getty Museum was very interesting. I have never attended an art museum besides the Kellogg Art Gallery. I saw many different types of arts which reflects to people in different ways. Even though i did not get the chance to speak with any artists about their artwork, i got the chance to speak to a couple of gallery workers, and gallery viewers. They showed me different perspectives that i did not notice, such as what the artist is trying to convey on their work. I did not expect the art gallery to be the way it was structured and how it looks well conducted. After attending the art gallery, I must say I truly appreciate art in a different perspective. I notice people are very genuine about appreciating a fine work of art. I enjoyed this museum because the employee there are friendly.

Moonlit landscape with view of the New Amstel River and Castle Kostverloren

One thing about this particular art work that i liked is the view of the whole concept. I notice that the artist who painted this enjoys views that are very saluted. Another thing that caught my attention was the colors of this art work, The colors stands out vividly, as the sun sets peacefully. The true color of the sky is well done because it reflects in how the sky looks realistically. The mood of this whole painting is very composed. I also see that the artist have made the river very detailed and noticeable as it runs smoothly through the landscape.

The abduction of Europa by Rembrandt Harmensz. Van Rijn

This picture that i selected caught my attention when i saw it at the Getty Museum. This picture was very interesting to me when i first saw it. When i look at this picture of art i see the true colors that stands out adequately. This picture also creates the scenery of the modern-age life style. The three lady caught my eyes the most. The way their dresses reflects the brighter side of the picture while its surrounding is shadowed in dark layers visually. I also see a bond between the three Lady's as if they are in a mission while their emotion reflects heavily and very detailed.
