So this picture is supposed to be a woman whose boyfriend was killed by her brothers because they didn’t like that she was dating him. So she put her boyfriend’s head in a vase with basil in it. Okay, I know all people grieve differently, but why put a whole head in a pot ofContinue reading “Isabella and the Pot of Basil”

Lime Green Icicle Tower
This thing is so big that it has to be attached to the ceiling so it doesn’t fall over. I bet if you were to grab on to one of the icicle things and pulled it would make the the whole thing shake. DON’T TRY THAT! I’m pretty sure that if one of my catsContinue reading “Lime Green Icicle Tower”
Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii
My big sister likes to copy the pose of this statue. The statue is of a character in a book. The book is called The Last Days of Pompeii by Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton. He wrote it in 1834. Nydia saved people from death after the volcano erupted because she could get around the city evenContinue reading “Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii”
Frances Tileston Breese
The picture is very dark except for the parrot. 🦜 The reason that the parrot is bright is because when the kid was posing for the picture the child was getting fidgety, so to keep the child from fidgeting the artist drew a parrot 🦜 in the picture. My thoughts on the picture is thatContinue reading “Frances Tileston Breese”
Devout Men Taking the Body of Saint Stephen
If you can’t tell by the picture the person that the people are carrying is dead, (oof). He was stoned (people throw rocks at him until he died). To me he looks like that one dramatic person in movies/TV shows because he looks like that one character who fainted all the time. The painting itselfContinue reading “Devout Men Taking the Body of Saint Stephen”
Someone’s Creepin’ at the Opera
The real question is how did the artist draw a picture of her looking at something but also being stalked by a man? Did she know that he was there? Did she just imagine it? Just how really did she get the picture? The Facts In the Loge, at the Opera Mary Stevenson Cassatt (American,Continue reading “Someone’s Creepin’ at the Opera”
Corkscrew Hanging on a Nail
This corkscrew was drawn by the same person who did a painting called “Watson and the Shark” but I will talk about that painting next time. The thing about this painting is it is on a piece of a door jam because when the artist was drunk at a party they needed a corkscrew soContinue reading “Corkscrew Hanging on a Nail”
The Nativity
When I first saw this painting thought Mary looked like she was saying, “omg I just popped out a baby and I’m still a virgin…how?! Why are there people I don’t even know?… why are there Kings here?…why is there a angel here? AM I DEAD!?! Is that why am I being ignored by theseContinue reading “The Nativity”
Abraham Lincoln
This is Abraham Lincoln. He is one of the few things people can touch at the MFA. He is made of bronze. The more golden looking parts are the parts people like to touch the most. This is because when the people touch it the bronze is worn down and changed from their skin. IContinue reading “Abraham Lincoln”
Female Effigy Jar
I have no idea what a female effigy jar is but if you’ve ever seen the new Star Wars movie IT LOOKS LIKE WOODEN BB8! No you can’t deny it looks like him. He has a small head and round body. All he needs is Rey to make it perfect! :3 I just googled whatContinue reading “Female Effigy Jar”
