Yale British Art Gallery

This pieces I chose to photograpgh caught my eye because of the details used as well as color and the realness of the subjects.














































"Favourites, the property of H.R.H. Prince George of Cambridge"





Oil on Canvas


by: Sir Edwin Landseer



I liked the detail of this piece, everything is so well defined. I thought the seemingly animal comraderie was cute.


























"John Gubbins and his sister Mary Newton"
Oil on canvas
by: Robert Burnard

I liked the realism in this piece, the children look to be upset about posing for this one, the only one who looks to be smiling is the horse and maybe the dog.











































""Academy by Lampllight"
Oil on Canvas
by: Joseph Wright of Derby



I liked the play of shadows and lighting in this piece.
























This shot was taken from the fourth floor window of the archway over High street.









"Portrait of Elderly Woman and a Girl"
Oil on Canvas
by: George Beare























"Inverary Pier, Loch Shira: Morning"
Oil on Canvas
by: J.M.W. Turner










I thought the colors in this piece make it look peaceful and serene. I can see the fog rising off the water as day breaks when I look at this one.











"Ann Wilson and her daughter Sybil"
Oil on Canvas
by: George Romney

I love the emotion of pure love emmitted by the mother in this piece, at least that was my first impression, after looking at it again, being a mother with a young child, she could just be dog tired.
