Renaissance-Baroque Met Gallery

 The title of this piece is Perugino. It is an image of Saint John the Baptist. He is in a notable architecture. He was known for doing this. Rafael was his most famous student. He was active 1469-1523. This piece was most likely done in the mid 1490s. The artist is Pietro di Cristoforo Vannucci. Cristoforo Vannuci was from near Perugio, Romagno, (Italy.)  The theme is Christianity. The narrative is of Saint John the Baptist/Saint Lucy. One of the important formal elements is the colour. The texture, tone and form are all also really relevant.
The title of this piece is Atalanta And Meleager. It is an image similar to The Hunt. The one on the right of the big guy blowing the horn seems really annoyed. Notably the tone is a little more dramatic. Being a Baroque piece this was very common.The theme is of a successful hunt. The artist was Peter Paul Rubens. He was from Seigen, Germany. The narrative is of the myth Atalanta And Meleager. 1577-1640 is when he was active. This piece is from 1616. The formal elements here are pattern, shape, and line which are all equally crucial in measure.
