Duerer's paintings


This painting is "Adoration of the Trinity", it was painted in 1511.

The Jesus is the center of this piece, and it shows more balance. The colors are harmonious, so I like it. There's some symbols in this painting. The pigeon is above the Father. It means "hope" and "peace", and there is some light around the pigeon. It can make that pigeon stands out.

Adoration of the Magi, in 1504~1505.

The man in the center is Duerer, he used his appearance to draw this man. The figures mix harmonically with the background. This is the characteristic of Duerer's art, he always use the color with balance. There are some exquisite arches in the piece, and it becomes a space. It also make the figures stand out. The perspective had used in this painting, so it shows Duerer's skills.

My trip of Da Vinci Exhibit

This photo is I standing in front of the show's entrance. I'm going to see how great of Da Vinci's inventions and paintings.

-----------------------------------------------------

4/3 Saturday 9:30 I went to Savant, and my father drove my classmates and me to Taipei to see the show of Da Vinci.

In the exhibit, it includes many of Da Vinci inventions' model. There are two real notes, the others are someone fabricate them. I pretty like the flying machine, the model of helicopter is similar than the modern one. It needs to put the tail on it, so it can fly more steadily. I also like the clock, it designed well. The clock worked by the gear wheels. Da Vinci not only invented war machines, new painting skills, but also invented some daily use. He was a characteristic "Renaissance man".

This photo is our English class' students and teachers, we were all happy to see this exhibit. This trip made me eye-opening.
