Field Trip 6 Reaction
As I scattered through the museum,
looking for great artworks the three that really stood out to me was the
Modern, Islamic, and European oil paintings. There are many similarities
between the modern and the old Islamic and European paintings such as the use
of oil-based paint. The amounts of details in theses oil paintings were
phenomenal. The colors were so precise that the painting itself looked like it
was take using a camera. So I decided that theses three subjects was my only
and logical choice for my theme.
Some
of the visual similarities of the paintings I chose for my theme are the fact
that all of the artists seem to be capturing the moment in their paintings.
From the sunset in Johan Christian Dahl panting named “Copenhgen Harbor by
moonlight, 1846”) to the Mosque in Jean- Leon Gerome painting named “Prayer in
the Mosque” which featured a prayer session taking place in beautiful Mosque.
Also some of the modern painting shows the same realistic consistency. One
example of this is in a painting by John Graham named “Celia.”
With
the addition of the modern artworks my viewers can start to put together and
compare both the Islamic and European artworks, which is mostly comprised of
paintings from the early 18th till the early ninetieth centuries
with paintings from the modern and contemporary artworks which spans from the
late 18th century till the late 19th centuries.

Theme
European, Islamic and
Modern Oil Paintings
My theme is on European, Islamic and Modern oil paintings.
One of the reasons I chose this as my theme is because of the amount of details
the paintings had. The colors on the paintings were so precise they actually
looked like they were taken with a camera. The European and Islamic paintings I
chose range from the baroque period till the early eighteen hundreds.
