I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on a Friday evening with my family. I left as soon I go off of work. Traffic was great the entire way down of course I did not take interstate 95. The evening was beautiful. The museum was extremely crowded and the guard was somewhat irritable. I went to the information desk explain to the receptionist that I was there on an assignment and wanted to know which exhibits I could not photograph. She gave me the museum plan and I proceeded to the nest desk to give a donation, the receptionist at that location said that we were all set and to enjoy our stay. After visiting the first level exhibits mid way through our tour my daughter had to go to the restroom, we were direct to go down stairs. Once we headed back up the stair two very ignorant guard approach only our group while other groups were allowed to proceed through. The way they talked to us, made us felt degraded. They insisted that we came in through the down stairs entrance and was attempting to not pay because we did not have on a pin indicating that we paid. We explained in a professional manor what took place upstairs. After a couple of minutes or so we got their names they gave us a courtesy pin. I received all of their names and filed a complaint on the treatment we encountered. I went to the second level to capture a few more shot and let because my group was upset due to the treatment we endured.
Reguardless of what took place that evening I still enjoyed me evening. At this point everyone knows I love artwork with great detail.
“Madonna and Child Enthrones with Saints”, tempera on wood, gold ground; by Taddeo Gaddi, is an altarpiece originally all the figures shown were in individual frames
“The Battle of Vercellae” oil on canvas created by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
.
Tiepolo was said to born in wealth and noble Italian family in Venice. He was a Ventian painter and print maker. His first painting for commission was “Sacrifice of Isaar.” He painted canvases through Venice representing victory and battle and he also painted images on the ceiling of churches. Because of the size of his painting he received great recantation. This painting is from a series of ten canvases paintings (1725-29), which are displayed in a main room in Venice.
Because of the height of this painting I had to stand across the room to full experience this piece of work. “The Battle of Vercellae” captured my attention because it appeared to tell a story.
This portrait portrays a powerful war and a fear of death. The lighting in this painting is dull. The shadow gave me this notion. Even though almost every participant is dead or injured, the fight continues. The fighter in the far light appears to be the one strongest and most powerful man standing. The black horse that leads the most powerful man standing shows his strong leadership as well. The ship in the back still stands at sea. Some of the men in the battle appeared to have been stampede while other are still at group level fighting. There were no guns in this battle indicating it was a war of bloody sword fighting.
