On September 26 I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art in order to write a paper for Art History. Since my normally scheduled history class was cancelled that day, I felt that it would be a great opportunity to go. To get to the Met I rode three subway trains which I felt was great experience in getting used to navigating the subway system.
Once I arrived at the Met, I quickly found that I had no idea where I needed to go. After walking around around a bit, I decided to ask one of the staff members where the exhibit I was looking for was. She pointed me to the doors that were 15 feet away. I felt like an idiot. With my head hung low, I walked inside of the European Art exhibit.
Inside were lots of paintings that with a single glance anyone could tell wrestling of a quality that deserved to be displayed in a museum. After looking around a bit, I found a painting that I absolutely fell in love with. Unlike most of the artworks that displayed scenes of the Christian faith, this painting was of some ships. I immediately knew that this was the painting I wanted to write about. Snapping a couple of pictures, I left and set off to write about this masterpiece.
