I thought that this class was so cool because the painting Hans Holbein the Younger, <em>Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve <\/em>(<em>The Ambassadors<\/em>) blew my mind. The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vince is an interesting painting because of the smile and it shows a little more than 3\/4 of the face. She blends in with the background. We see more of a &#8220;photoshop&#8221; in this picture because the sitter and artist are able to manipulate the painting and what they portray to the viewer. We see that in Elizabeth the First&#8217;s painting, where she stands on top of the world and in between the night and day, displaying her rule. There must be a mutual agreement between the artist and the sitter of the final product of the painting. For example, some of the sitters looked younger than they did or buffer or prettier. Some of the sitters wanted to portray themselves as something bigger than they look or narcissistic or puff their ego, like Durer&#8217;s self-portrait. I also have to say that if that is how he looked, or at least close to it, he was very handsome. The Hans Holbein, The Ambassador was a very cool painting because if you turn it sideways, you can see the skull. I wonder if this was something advanced for the time, or did someone do this before? There is so much symbolism and this painting told so much about the current times. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this class, we talked about the perspective.
