National Gallery: My Perspective

FIRST OF ALL, HELLO! 

LET’S START!

This is me, trying my very best to copy the painting “Portrait of a Lady with a Fan” by an anonymous artist made in year 1647. As you can see, I can’t even copy the fan, so I improvised and used a black marker as a substitute. I will attach the original painting, so be the judge for me 😂

Next is an artwork where people have the most unusual clothing.

Saint Hugh (1525) - anonymous

An artwork that has lots of lines or shapes.

A View of Westminster Bridge and Parts Adjacent (1758) - Samuel Scott

An example of perspective in an artwork.

An artwork with animals in it.

The Frugal Meal (1847) - John Frederick Herring, Jr.

REFLECT

What was your overall impression of the museum?

Well, given that it is a museum located in London, England, I already expected outputs like portraits of people starting from early 1500s. Paintings in the gallery are all pleasing in the eyes, all depicts different meanings and eras. The gallery is basically a visual trip back to the 15th-18th century in England. 

What was your favorite part?

Even before, I adore the coronation between princesses. It fascinates me how they can look so royal when in fact we are all equally a living being in this world. Obviously, my favorite part of the gallery is the ‘Fit for a Queen: Symbols and Values of Sovereignty’ area in the gallery. It shows different coronations of generations of kings and queens of England. It also shows us a glimpse of history between royal families which I find very interesting. Overall, it was very fun for me. Also, the virtual experience to this part of the gallery was top tier since everything is clear even if I zoom in to all of the paintings. 

What did you discover?

I discovered a lot of landscapes that are portrayed in the gallery. It presented me the scenery that I can view when I’m in England, it was fascinating. I came to a realization that many artists can have the same art style, but their art will never be the same with each other. Even titles can be made similarly which is nice because you can really make contrast with each other’s works. My whole experience in the National Gallery was so fun and at the same time educational. I discovered many perspectives of artists towards people, animals or to the world itself. It felt like I was speaking to people in the renaissance era, such a nice experience.

THAT IS ALL!!

Thank you for this wonderful experience, ma’am! I learned a lot and my favorite thing that I learned was that I can visit different galleries/museums around the world while in the comfort of my home. Thank You, ma’am, hope you enjoy and appreciate my work!!
