My friend Patti and I arrived to the museum an hour before the tour began. We walked up the marble stairs and took our first picture, turned out great because of the lighting from the
multiple windows! Well, we wondered a bit, getting a feel for the museum before Mr. Peck gave the tour. Finally, the actual tour began. We began on the second floor, with images depicting
Christ and spiritual characters. Interesting to see, but almost seemed
redundant. The painting that caught my eye was one done by Francesco
Buoneri, called known as
Cecco del Caravaggio. This photo was the Resurrection made in 1619, with oil paints. The painting itself is
extremely large, and that is what drew me in. His style characteristics are that consisting of
contrast between
n light and dark, along with intricate
droopy folds, a bold outline and human expression. The reason behind the paintings size is that
Buoneri preferred to draw life sized figur
es. This painting follows the gospels version of the resurrection fairly closely as it shows
Christ rising from the dead on the third day. His use of
intricate detailing is seen here on the photo to the right, as even the toe jam under his nails is painted and documented. He plays with color in this painting by using red in a sleeve, a pop of
turquoise and and a pinch of purple in the flag.
