2. MANCORBO CANAL IN PICOS DE EUROPA
In this painting you can see light, value, and color.
In the left bottom corner, it is dark, and there is
visible shades of black. It is lighter in the upward
side of the painting where there is tints of white.
On the right side local color changes the hues of
the painting. You can see the color green which is
considered to be a cool color and small amounts of
a yellow-orange color which are considered to be
warm colors,along with a light brown that depicts

of the river, where people are visible. Movement
is visible in the position of the people on the
boats and the three people on the right lower
corner who seem to be walking to the left side of
the painting. The tall buildings depict how big
in scale they are, comparing to how small the
people are. Style can be visible with the designs
used in the architecture of the buildings, the
design of the ships and the clothing of the
people.
4. ALLEGORY OF FRANCESCO I OF MEDICI
This sculpture is a very good example
of balance. It is visible to see balance
by the way that the people are leaning
to a side,the slight bending of the legs,
and the arching of their torso, as well
as the position of the arms.The
detailed curved and straight lines form
the shape and texture of the people,
trees, and architecture. Implied
movement is visible with the cupid on BY: Giambologna

5. THE LADIES’ TOWER AT THE ALHAMBRA
In this painting I found it interesting,
how scale is depicted. The children on the
bottom of the painting are depicted to be
small, compare to the tall trees and the
buildings. The focal point on this painting
that caught my interest was the children
on the bottom of the painting. Implied
mass is also visible in the depiction of the
big buildings on the painting. The

6. THE MEDICI GARDENS IN ROME
This painting is a good example of
imbalance. The man who seems to have an
object on his right hand on the left side
corner seems to be approaching the man
standing on the right side. The man on the
far left side arouses an intriguing feeling to
the panting. The curvilinear and rectangular
lines on the architecture adds emphasis to the
painting. By: Diego Velazquez

7. WHY I SELECTED THESE PIECES OF ART WORK
I selected these pieces of art work based on the theme of landscape. I was able
to see on these paintings and sculpture trees, rivers, mountains, the sky and
different times of the day, with the light of the sun. I found it interesting, how
artists can make their art work beautiful with some type of depiction of
nature, when nature is already a natural art itself.
My exhibition “The Collection of Landscape Art” will be arranged in the
following order: the painting, “Mancorbo Canal In Picos De Europa” will be
hanged on the wall to the lower left side corner near the entrance. Next to
that, the painting, “Landscape with the Embarkment of Saint Paula Romana
in Ostia” will be hanged on the same wall. On the right side wall, the
sculpture, “ Allegory of Francesco I of Medici” will be hanged. On the back
wall the painting, “The Ladies’ Tower at the Alhambra” will be hanged up
and the painting, “The Medici Gardens in Rome” will be hanged on the same
wall but to the closer to the left corner. On the following slide you will be able
to view the setting of the gallery.
