Marc Chagall’s Ceiling for the Paris Opéra, Marc Chagall, 1963-01-01/1964-09-23, From the collection of: Opéra national de Paris
With my topic being color it wasn’t a hard decision putting this as my first picture. This painting has a variety of different colors that compliment the gold holding it together.
Fire's on, Arthur Streeton, 1891, From the collection of: Art Gallery of New South Wales
This painting really caught my eye. I like this painting so much because how how the colors go so well together. It was the illusion that you really are looking at a rocky mountain on a beautiful clear sky.
Mappa, Alighiero Boetti, 1971-1973, From the collection of: MAXXI National Museum of XXI Century Arts
This painting is very important to include in my gallery. not only are the colors bring and make the image pop, it also has a message of the different countries and their flags. It shows that as one we can make something beautiful.
The Abduction of Europa, Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, 1632, From the collection of: The J. Paul Getty Museum
Even though this picture is a little gloomy and colors are really dull its is the perfect way to get the audience attention to one thing in the picture. The two ladies standing next to the lake and the lady on the horse immediately get the viewers attention with their bright colors and I believe thats what the painter wanted to do.
The Fall of the Rebel Angels, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, 1562, From the collection of: Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium
This painting is amazing with this abstract colors. It has a splash of everything and so much going on it makes it look ver colorful.
Wedding Supper, Martin van Meytens, 1763, From the collection of: Schönbrunn Palace
This is such a detailed colorful painting. The gold really brightens up the painting it gives off a royalty vibe. Just by the look of the painting you would think by the colors alone that it is a very high class event with only rich and successful people there. The red brings out the gold even more.
Roses, Convolvulus, Poppies, and Other Flowers in an Urn on a Stone Ledge, Rachel Ruysch, ca. 1680s - ca. 1680s, From the collection of: National Museum of Women in the Arts
The colors of the flowers in the painting makes it come alive. The background is so dark it helps the flowers pop out even more. It makes you appreciate just how beautiful and colorful the flower really is.
Midsummer Eve bonfire on Skagen's beach, P.S. Krøyer, 1906, From the collection of: Skagens Museum
The colors are amazing definitely one of my favorite paintings. The colors in the fame is my favorite, it looks very real. The smoke coming off of the fire and blending in with night sky is also a good touch. The shadows of everybody around the fire and the glow of the fire has great color.
View of the Château de Fontainebleau, Pierre-Denis Martin, 1718/1723, From the collection of: Château de Fontainebleau
The painting colors flows perfectly together. the different color blues and greens show different areas on the painting where there might be trees in one spot and grassland in another. The people in red attracts the viewers attention and stand out.
The Abduction of Helen, Alessandro Turchi, 1578/1649, From the collection of: Musée d’Art Classique de Mougins
This is the brightest piece of artwork I have seen yet. The colors in the painting are stunning. There isn’t really a lot going on in the painting, its just that the colors are so bright. you can see every detail of clothing in the image.
The birth of Venus, Sandro Botticelli, 1483 - 1485, From the collection of: Uffizi Gallery
This is a very colorful image. Its a lot of details in the picture and many different colors used. you can see the different levels of color in the shell making it look three dimensional. the water also has white highlights making it appear like it has ripples in it.
The Ambassadors, Hans Holbein the Younger, 1533, From the collection of: The National Gallery, London
This image has very bright colors and a good color scheme. the artist didn’t leave anything out, He wanted the viewers to see everything in the image and he did that by not making the things in the background darker, but by making it just as bright as the people in the front.
Under the Yoke (Burning the Brushwood), Eero Järnefelt, 1893, From the collection of: Ateneum Art Museum
I enjoy the colors in the image because of the smoke and fog. i enjoy the color of the dust on the ground, it looks very realistic.
Celacanto Provoca Maremoto, Adriana Varejão, 2004/2008, From the collection of: Inhotim
This painting is very abstract with colors. The different color blues look great and the purple is splashed in there with just the perfect amount.
