Painting of Siena

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ggnyc/2540184077/
This painting is Madonna and Child by Duccio di Buoninsegna.The website is nice because there are some introduction of the painting.


Maddnna and child
I like the painting because the color makes me feel warm and Madonna and the child are all happy that I can understand that the emotion between them.The color of the background and their clothes are in a contrast.
When I see carefully in the background I sow many small thins that make the painting be more holly.I like this painting because it make my heart to be peaceful and the colors are very beautiful.




This painting is St. Stephen.There is no introduction about it.I choose it because it seemed funny.I like the paiting because the man in this painting the hading on the ceiling.When I sow it.I thinked the man like monkey.Everyone are looking at him.There is an old woman who is praying to him.Even the people on the wall(there are paintings)who also gaze at him.
I can see the flowers on the paintings that made by gold.I think it might be spend a lot of time to make on it.Also the shadow in the painting is very nice.The expression on the people's face are all true to life.I think the painting is very nice.

Giotto

http://www.giottodibondone.org/No.-31-Scenes-from-the-Life-of-Christ--15.-The-Arrest-of-Christ-(Kiss-of-Judas)-1304-06.html



In this website there are many works of Giotto but in this website there aren't many explanation of these paintings.
Kiss of Judas
I choose this picture because the people in this painting is lifelike and the colors are very beautiful and attracktive.

In this picture,our focus would right to Jesus and Judas.Giotto used the gold on Jesus and Judas's clothes to make be more eye-catching and also put them right in the middle.

We can see the sadness and anger in Jesus face of Judas betrayed him.Behind them there many soilders with armed who seemed they want to killed Jesus.The siolders' expression are anger.

If we see carefully we can see in the right side.There is a man who pionted Jesus and Judas and in left sight there is a man who cut the other man's ear and a man who is pulling a person.In this painting,I think there are few story in it.

Last Supper
In the painting I can see the men in this table are all look to each other and doubted that who would betrayed Jesus.In the picture I sow that Jesus is hold a boy who is crying.Maybe is comfort the boy.

In the picture,I can't see Judas who betrayed Jesus later.

I choose this painting because I like the emotion in this picture.It is very lifelike, but still there are some lines the the picture.
