For this class we went to the Landay room in the museum to look at a selection of Baroque pieces from Colby’s collection that we could use in our take home exam. The painting that stood out to me the most, and that I selected for my exam, was Viviano Codazzi and Michelangelo Cerquozzi’s Ruined Triumphal Arch, with Belisarius Recieving Alms. Codazzi and Cerquozzi’s use of light to draw the viewer’s eyes across the canvas towards the beggar is extremely reflective of the Baroque period. Additionally, by portraying the figures in the painting in motion, Codazzi and Cerquozzi create a scene that appears as a snapshot.
