I loved my time at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I have been to the museum multiple times before on school field trips and I always loved the ancient art and history. Each painting, artifact, and sculpture tells it’s own story and has it’s own purpose. One of my favorite era’s in terms of art work is the period of transition between the Dark Ages and the Renaissance. It’s a period where warring is still prevalent but the arts and sciences are starting to thrive. The painting below was created by Artist Fra’ Filippo Lippi, an early Renaissance artist. I love the painting because it so broad yet so specific. The details on the women are extraordinary, but yet we have no idea who the women is. Is she important? Where is she heading? Nothing is very specific and it causes you to really thing and use one’s own imagination and create their own story.
