This picture interested me because I found my self pondering how these large stones were moved with out the use of heavy machinery. Some say it was built by the Druids.
Greek ca 5th Century BC
Amphora warriors by a Prometheus Painter. I like this piece of Greek pottery because it is intact, which is probably a rarity for this time period. Although the figures are crudely drawn, it is interesting to see a battle taking place.
Roman ca the 2nd Century BC and the 1st Century AD
Torso of a centaur, Imperial, 1st century A.D. Roman.I like this piece because of the detail. If it was intact you would never know that it is a piece of sculpture. It looks like a real torso.
Middle Ages/Medieval 400 AD through 1100 AD
Muirdach's Cross (Artist Unknown) is interesting piece of Celtic sculpture. It dates back to the medieval period. I was drawn to it's intricately carved stonework, and these cemetary markers can be found in places such as Wales and Scotland.
Renaissance 1400's and 1500's
The Arnolfini Portrait, by Jan van Eyck (Netherlandish Painter, ca. 1385-1441) I enjoyed this piece of art because it's eeriness. Also, it is amazing to see how detailed it is. From the reflection in the mirror to the highly detailed chandelier, this work shows the Jan van Eyck was a highly skilled artist.
Baroque 1600's
Hendrick Cornelisz. Vroom[Dutch Baroque Era Painter, ca.1563-1640]This picture caught my eye because of the background he has ships as far as the eye can see.It also has good detail. I really like this painting.
Neoclassical 18th Century, 1700's
This piece of art has no empty space at all. The artist used every bit of space in this piece .It also shows great detail in the background. I like how this was painted.
Romantic 19th Century, 1800-1900
This picture is of the Greek God Apollo. The artist decribes how much power Apollo has. He has a aura around him. It is a very good picture.
Modern 20th Century, 1850's-1999
This art was really different. I think that is why I liked it. This piece show how art took a new look.
Contemporary 21st Century, 2000-Now
This was painted on a wall in Texas with spray paint. This piece took my eye because it was not done by a brush. This is the age when graffiti became popular and widespread.
