Art Analysis- lylian


For my art analysis, I chose Thomas Kinkade's 'Boston' painting.
It's tone, color, and pattern caught my attention. Being a Boston enthusiast, I was immediately drawn to the piece. The sky and street's tone is captivating, with orange-yellow lights suggesting a bustling atmosphere, and the sky's coloration leads me to wonder if it's sunrise or sunset. The tree pattern gives the impression that it's set in Boston Commons, I noticed the same tree style when I visited in May. The tree's lack of leaves indicates the onset of winter. This painting brings me happiness as it allows me to dream of living in or around Boston, especially in a season different from when I visited. I have always been drawn to the East Coast, and my visit only strengthened my love for it. The painting's style is also appealing, and I would love to have a copy. When talking about the piece the artist says, "Now, I follow that collector favorite with Boston Celebration, meant to evoke the thrilling days following the Patriot's 2005 Super Bowl triumph which came on the heels of the curse-breaking Red Sox World Series."

    Hello Lylian,

    Your choice of art is so nice and I totally agree with your in-depth analysis of the art the colors sure you can tell the time of the day also like the picture of Aman, kids, and women under the umbrella not what there are selling but they remind me back home because they normally sell smokies.
    Like the colorful trees, you might think they are Christmas trees with lights on sure it brings that happiness of the holidays

    Hi Lylian,
    I agree with your overall statement of the piece however I noticed for your information about the piece you had listed websites. It would be easier for the reader to go to the pages and read more on the piece if they were hyperlinked. I personally don't like living in the city. I live in Alaska's main city Anchorage, and I couldn't imagine going to live in a bigger city. What draws you to Bosten? What's stopping you from just going, after all you are the only one who can make your dreams a reality?

    This is a really beautiful scenery piece it makes you feel as if you are there too. I would really love to visit the East Coast in the winter-fall season. It is really a special scenery that you never really get to see or experience living in Alaska and Texas.

I looked into Italian Renaissance Architecture for this blog post. I looked through a lot of buildings and chose to dive more into ' St. Peter's Basilica.' Construction started on April 18th, 1506, and the building opened to the public on November 18th, 1626. 120 years after construction started. I learned that Renaissance Architecture and Baroque Architecture were used to make this building. It is located at  Piazza San Pietro, 00120 Città del Vaticano, Vatican City.  WIKOUS says, " St. Peter's Basilica was designed by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world," -  Sources here  I do believe this building and the art inside does inspire awe, the attention to detail is quite astounding. I think in a place like this you would be able to feel the amount of passion that went into building St. Peter's Basilica. I understand it to be a Christian Shrine...
