Madonna With the Long Neck by Parmigianino
It is generally regarded as Parmigianino's masterpiece. It
was commissioned by Elena Baiardi, as an altarpiece for
her private chapel in the church of Santa Maria dei Servi at
Parma. It was started in 1534 and completed at Pentecost
in 1535, but it reached its intended destination only after
the artist's death. Hence it is often referred to as
'unfinished'. Described as lyrical and aloof with a cool but
polished colour, it achieved widespread fame during the
sixteenth century and in 1698 it was acquired by
been in the Uffizi since 1948.

The noted painters Giorgione and Titian, among others,
influenced the Rococo period's emphasis on swirling color
and erotic subject matter. Pastoral Concert (c. 1509), first
attributed to Giorgione, though now credited by most
scholars as one of Titian's early works, was classified as
a Fête champêtre, or outdoor party, by the Louvre when it
first became part of the museum's collection. The
Renaissance work depicting two nude women and two
aristocratic men playing music in an idealized pastoral
landscape would heavily influence the development of
Rococo's Fête galante, or courtship paintings. The term
referred to historical paintings of pleasurable past times
and became popularized in the works of Jean-Antoine
Watteau.

A Sunday in the Park on the Island of La Grande Jatte by
Seurat
It is more commonly known as "Sunday in the Park"),
which covered a wall (81 inches by 120 inches), took him
two years to complete. He was known for amazing
devotion and concentration. The dots in a pointillist
painting can be as small as 1/16 of an inch in diameter!
Based on these measurements, "Sunday in the Park" has
approximately 3,456,000 dots.

GENERAL IMPRESSION/INSIGHTS:
(Write your general impression or your insights about the art and point out their similarities and differences
briefly but substantially. You can have it in a bullet format.)

- Most of the eras were doing arts made out of paint and it was only in both Greek and Roman arts that there
were dominant creation of sculptures and theater clubs.
- I have observed that even if there were changes in the different eras, all the artists still managed to be
resourceful and became known artists around the world.
- I can see that transition from time to time was having the influences or touch of the previous one and does
not really forget the old previous ages.
- Most of them made used of concrete materials for their sculptures.
- The most unique style was during the Impressionism era because it used dots instead of complete or long
strokes to finish their art.
- With the Pointilism, it was more challenging to make but more shocking because of just dots made into
masterpieces.
- It was also because of those creative minds that we have tourist spots and treasures today. It would not be
because of them that they have the treasures in each country that they are in.
- Imaging that even theaters in Greece, for example, they are already not in good condition, they are still
sites that the world still wish to see and preserve.
- The artworks are not only to be displayed but they already reflected what kind of era or time were these
made and what kind of artists we have had then.
- I can see that today’s artists were influenced by the artists back then.
- It was only in the Renaissance period that I have seen political values for the very reason that others were
focused on feelings and things happening in their surroundings or what is mostly talked about during that
time.
