    I would say that my two favorite periods that I enjoyed studying this semester are the

    Renissance Era along with the Baroque Era. I enjoyed learning about these two eras because
    there were so many similarities between the two but so many differences as well. I liked how the
    Baroque Era was building on the things that the Renissance Era had created. I think that these
    two periods in art history were focused on realism and people and I love it because you are able
    to see so much emotion and powerful messages during these periods. My favorite images from
    the Renissance period would have to be the “Mona Lisa'' by Leonardo da Vinci, “David” by
    Michelangelo, and “The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli. Then my favoirte images from the
    Baroque period would have to be “Landscape with a Calm” by Nicolas Poussin,”The Night
    Watch” by Rembrandt Van Rijn, and “Banquet Still Life” by Abraham
    van Beyeren.
    I personally like the “Mona Lisa” because it is so realistic. I like
    how she is just nicely placed with this background almost painted just
    out of his imagination. I mean it doesn’t seem to have a specific area
    that she is in. I also like the dark colors but also the oranges and
    greens that are in the background.

    I like “David” by Michelangelo because of what it symbolizes. It


    embodies strength while also showing indpentdance as well. This
    is also one of the most popular and greatest pieces of work when
    it comes to Renaissance art.

    I love “The birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli because of


    the coloring. There are a lot of different colors going on in
    this piece. There are a lot of darker colors as well as
    lighter, brighter colors. While looking at this image I get
    the sense of beauty and others admire beauty as well.
    I love the “Landscape with a Calm” by Nicolas
    Poussin because of the natural landscape that it
    is. I always love seeing more landscape and
    outside world pieces that people create. I love the
    darker colors along with the lighter ones as well.
    When looking at these pieces though it definitely
    does calm me down as it is more of a nature and
    the animals are around.

    I like “The Night Watch” by Rembrandt because it is so


    dark with hints of brighter color. I like it as well
    because it shows so much of what might have been
    going on during that specific time period. I also love
    how realistic this painting is between the way the
    people look as well as what they are wearing. I also
    enjoy the meaning behind this painting as this guard is
    leading his team.

    One of the last pieces of art that I enjoy is the


    “Banquet Still Life” by Abraham van Beijeren”. I like
    this piece because I feel as though we are able to
    take our own interpretation from this image. These
    images can also lead to many questions when
    looking at this image. I mean were there people here
    before and this is how they left the table? I do like
    seeing the details in this piece because the cloth
    hanging off the table does look so realistic.

    Overall. I love both of these periods in art history because they are so realistic and also show so
    much detail while holding so much meaning. Nowadays though looking back at this art is really
    cool because we are able to create our own stories with each piece whether it is a painting or a
    sculpture.
