The Brancacci chapel

http://employees.oneonta.edu/farberas/ARTH/Arth213/Brancacci_Chapel.html
In this website there are a lot of instructions of frescoes in Brancacci Chapel.I choose this website because it is easty to understand and the information is very abundant.
I learned that the Brancacci Chapel is very important point in fifteenth century of Florentine painting.Also the change of the style of painting is because there are a lot of Tribute Money.Masaccio use a lot of methods to paint,such as perspective, foreshortening.I think it is the big improve of painting.
Masaccio contribute the coherent sense of light and space make the drawing can see the far and close.In the subjust of his paintings often narrate one thing in life.


Donatello, Ascension of Christ and the Giving of the Keys to St. Peter
I choose this embossment because this piece is very beautiful the people and sceneryare all from back to front.This art now is in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.It perhaps was in the altar of the Brancacci family,so it is very rare.The piece of art belong to Brancacci untile Felice Brancacci exiled and the embossment also confiscated.In the embossment Donatello(the author)carved himself in this embossment as a beggar.


Crucifixion of St. Peter and Disputation with Simon Magus before the Emperor Nero
By Filippino Lippi
I choose this painting because the painting is talking two stories in the same painting.In the right place of the painting we can se that the white hair old man had loosen the debate.
In this painting the story is about the debate with Simon Magus.St. Peter's Crucifixion upside down didn't in the New Testament,but it waas in the Medieval compendium.

Renaissance Florence

"The Abduction of the Sabinas"By Giovanni de Bologna, Flemish

In this website there are many information of art,but searching the art of Renaissance Florence is pretty difficult. I choose the statue because the statue is very lifelike beause of thier appearances.I can see the woman's eyes are paintful and nervous.The man'a eyes also tell me that he want to make the woman to belong to him.Even so I can see that the woman has the behavior of fight back.I also can see the musle of the man.I can see how the force the man uses on the woman.the man's mouth is opening just like he talking "Please stay with me,my lover.Can you just understand my love to you?"The woman's mouth opens wildly"I hate you,you monster.Live me along!"(It just my fiction of conversation )
I also learned that men can't not be getting love by this kind of rude actions.

I choose this painting because I think this picture is a little bit cruel.In this wensite there are some expositionof this painting.The painting is talking about the story of Judith and Holofernes.Judith was a pious woman.She saved her people from dengerous.Holofernes was a general who attacks her town.Judith killed him when he drunk.This painting is good at telling the story without words.Judith in the picture also seemed bravely and strong.(I can't put the picture in my blog,sorry.)

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.

Pieta By Michelangelo
I choose it because it is very exquisite and when I sow it,it strikemy heart.In this statue,I can't see the obvious sadness in the mother's face very much,but in her eyes and the lips I can see her mood is very sad.Her eyes look down to her son's body and close the lips.It reveal the respectable and grand form.Her left hand open and being up to the sky.Maybe she is asking the God "Why would be like this?"In the statue,I like it because it is so amazing that it is so like the real people.We even can feel the clothes is so soft and be lifelike.





This piece is Creation of Adam By Michelangelo
In this piece of art,this is Zeus who created Adam.I choose it because it is very beautiful and the lines of the body is very perfect.In the picture.Zeus created Adam.Adam seemed was wake up just a moment.Waiting for giving the power from Zeus.In the picture,the most important and the beautiful point is the touch between the God and Adam,but the creater didn't make the fingers touch together,maybe Michelangelo wanted to make everyone to imagine the wonderful moment.

Prisoners Of War

The prisoner was killed in other prisoners' eyes.
http://www.historyonthenet.com/WW2/pow_camps_japan.htm

In this website I learned many different information.There are all useful and easy to read.I learned there were approximately 140,000 prisoners who had been caught in Japan.Most of them were white people.One in three died because of sick,no food to eat and other reasons.
Prisoners found them were captured in Taiwan,Japan and other countries.In Japan,they had caught some military personnel and civilians before the outbreak of war.
Camps were encircled by barbed wire or high wooden fencing.The prisoners tryed to escape would be executed in front of other prisoners.
There were few of the Japanese guards spoke English.Prisoners need to learn Japanese to understand commands they gave to them.If the prisoners were failure to comply with instructions, they would punished by hitting.


This is a good video to watch.The cartoon is very nice,I can learn somthings from it.
http://www.historyonthenet.com/WW2/german_pow_camps.htm
In this website there were some information about the camp of the prisoners.In this website,it describe the ways about the transport.They uasually transport by train.When the trains stoped.The prisoners all hoped to stop for a while for relax.
In the camps,there were all looked different.But there were all barbed wire.There were also some armed siolders who were ready to shoot the escape presoners.



This is the train who transported prisoners.

This is the picture of Klaus Fuchs.

http://www.lanl.gov/history/wartime/spies.shtml
In this website it describe four spies.I think they website is difficult to read and understand.
In the website I learn that there was spy named Klaus Fuchs.He was a expatriate of Germany.He moved to United Kingdom for escaping Nazi persecution.Then he becomes the spy for the Soviet Union.He went to Los Alamos,he worked with implosion problems,and other works.After the war,he returned to the U.K.

In this video I learned that there were six Japenese needed to transform to other six U.S.A. bussinessmen to find the secerts of the U.S.A.But one of the Japenese was betroyed by the goverment of Jepan.The goverment imprisoned him so he can't tell the secerts of this evil plan.After,the Japenese escaped.He went to U.S.A. to killed the other five Japenese who transformed to the U.S businessmen. An American detective who must find the killer before the last man has been killed.
