Isabella and the Pot of Basil

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”

Musicians

These people look like they don’t know how to play instruments. The one on the left side looks like he has the horn in his mouth, the one in the middle looks like he is playing a clarinet like a flute, and the one on the right looks like he is playing a bent leadContinue reading “Musicians”

Renaissance Babies

Okay, let’s just get right to the point: Renaissance babies are ugly. Okay, there were a few exceptions, but for the most part Renaissance babies were very ugly especially when it came to painting baby Jesus. Why did they look so ugly? That I have no clue because before the Renaissance and after the RenaissanceContinue reading “Renaissance Babies”

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).

The painting itselfContinue reading “Devout Men Taking the Body of Saint Stephen”

Someone’s Creepin’ at the Opera

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”

Sargent Murals: Heracles and the Hydra

This is Heracles. He is a mural on the ceiling Heracles likes fighting, Hebe, and more fighting. To see him you have to throw your head back and hope you have good balance or for you non-germaphobic people you can lay of floor and look stare at it :3 The museum also has mirrors thatContinue reading “Sargent Murals: Heracles and the Hydra”
