Raphael painted a bunch of Madonna throughout his life as an artist. This particular piece is interesting because through X-ray technology, it was discovered that Joseph was not included in the original work. Also, some interpret this piece as Joseph being a psychic-type figure, and he looks somber because he knows Jesus' future.

A very detailed image that includes interesting symbols and metaphors.
-
This is a comical work of art and kind of crazy for the time period that it was made in.
-
Interesting because it focused on the lives of everyday people, compared to many works of art that only focused on royalty.
-
This sculpture is interesting for many reasons. Firstly, Mary's lower half of her body is very disproportionate so that Jesus's body rests in it. Also, Mary appears to be very young, despite the fact that she would be in her late 40s at this time. Lastly, Jesus looks very serene and there is not a lot of evidence of the crucifixion in this piece.

In the 1659 self-portrait Rembrandt he portrays himself as a serious thinker.
-
In this version of himself Rembrandt depicts himself as almost worried and a little more aged.
-
In this iteration Rembrandt portrays himself as a little more relaxed and uses a little more light to help this come across. He also holds his palette to show his devotion to his career possibly and to paint him in an astute light.

-
This piece Idealized the artist lifestyle by portraying a lavish lifestyle inside his studio. This Intrigued me because the modern day artist is portrayed as someone starving for money and trying to break through. Maybe that is what he was trying to say was that he has broken through.

a very famous photo during the Great Depression, it shows raw suffering.
-
This is an odd nazi documentary. It has a very long and dream like intro, (which is weird for a documentary) where it shows a bunch of Classical Greek statues. This slowly transforms into the statues preforming the track and field activities where it then leads to the Olympics. The artist claims she had no knowledge of the Holocaust, she was just hired to film a move

This work was created by a friend of the band, who drew the musicians from memory and also used a photo collage. Voormann thought of this album as very avant-garde, so he wanted to create artwork that had the same new risks. Up until now, many album covers were photographs

Lin is an interesting artist to me because she had the courage and drive to enter a prestigious competition even though she is young, asian, and a woman.Lin was forced to make last minute changes, so she did not attend the groundbreaking.
