The weather was beautiful for a Sunday afternoon in mid September. My daughter invited her friend to join us because she enjoyed the scavenger hut the museum provided for children while they visited the museum. The museum was quiet and relaxing.

This image is a “Band of Angels: Weaving the Seven Words” in an oil and acrylic on canvas, created by John Biggers, painted in 1992-1993. Biggers said, “That the women are depicted as “spiritual beings” who are weaving a brave new world” They looked organized and at peace while they work so had together to build a better place for them to live. The animals in the painting are also helpers in this intriguing project. Their attire is very unique. The color and detail in their head garments is what drew me to this painting. 
“The Disenchantment of Bottom” is oil on canvas created by Daniel Maclise in 1832.
I went to the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art with my family and a friend of my daughter. This was my third outing for assigned museums to visit. When we arrived we were greeting by one of the museum employees and she suggests that the children participate in a scavenger hunt. This consists of finding different items in the museum. They had to find ten to twelve items that were on a list. Once the outing was over and they found they items and had marker the off their list; they received a small prize. This project kept them very interest and attentive to most of the art work that is displayed thought out the museum.
“The Disenchantment of Bottom” painting captured my attention right away. The creator was an Irish printer by the name of Daniel Maclise born in 1806. He started his career as a portrait painter but was said, “That he gained a reputation as an historical painter and his scenes were based on literary sources. His painting was part of the Romantic Era and also part of the “fainting Painting Collection” in England in the 19th century. This painting was from a Midsummer Nights Dream Act IV Scene I by William Shakespeare.
The fright in the boy eyes told me that this was painting would be the one for me to write about. In the lower left corner on the painting the man sitting on the tree stump was the one in power, while the man in front of the stump appeared to be getting sacrificed. The glowing lights on the angels to the far left gave them a grateful expression on the faces and body positions. The angels to the right if the stump shoed disinterest and appear to be leaving the area.
Moving towards the far right bottom of the painting, the man looking towards the left appears to see death, while the angel next to him is washing her hair, with the other angels just doing their own thing.
Towards the top right of the painting you’ll see an angel tickling the boys’ underarm with a red flower, while another agitation him in his ear. Just above that scene it seem that kais is going on. The other side appears to have someone pulling him away. The angel on his knee is writing an interpretation of the boys’ life.
The interpretation I received from this painting made me think that the boy was having nightmares as well as remember different encounters throughout his life. I enjoyed this painting.
