How did Bernini transform the new St. Peter’s from a High Renaissance building to a Baroque style building? Bernini built Baldacchino as the focal point for the huge interior of St. Peter’s right under the dome. He used bronze for the most part of the architecture which made it looked splendid and striking.

St. Peter is known as our very first Pope! He became one of the twelve apostles of Jesus also. To me St. Peter isn’t like all of the other saints‚ He was the very first Saint I knew and learned about when I was a little kid. I picked St. Peter because he has a couple of sayings that mean a lot to me. Like this on which is my favorite " Cast all of your anxieties upon him‚ because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 St. Peter’s feast day is on June 29. He was born on 1b.c in Bethsaida‚ Gaulanities

10/16/11 Paper #1 Art History 100 I chose the artwork “The Denial of St. Peter” attributed to Master Jacomo in the early mid-17th century made using either French or Italian style which consisted of oil on canvas. The physical condition of the painting looks good for how old it is and it looks clean. The painting represents a scene of a Roman guard interrogating St. Peter and a servant girl.

This diversity in textures is a manifestation

The use of light and shadow are what catches the viewer’s eye first as the face of St. Peter and the woman are illuminated by what is said to be a fireplace in the background‚ though not in view. This effect gives the idea that these are the two most important figures in the painting and the story revolves around these two figures. The figure

Apollo and Daphne by Bernini In order to fully appreciate the sculpture of Apollo and Daphne by Bernini‚ we need to understand the myth that it represents from Ovid ’s Metamorphoses. The story of Daphne is an example of an etiological myth one that is strongly explanatory of why certain things in their culture were a certain way.

One piece from the Legion of Honor that really stuck out to me was‚ “St. Peter Healing the Lame”. Completed in 1667 by the artist Gerbrand Van Den Eeckhout‚ the piece’s medium is oil on wood. the use of very dark colors along with the very contrasting light colors that make up the people make this piece catch my eye and i really feel like it brings a cool mood to the artwork. Gerbrand Van Den Eeckhout is referred to as a golden age painter and was a student of Rembrandt along with others such as
