Art Museum Homework

The artist name was Georg Muechlich. The title of the painting is The Crucifixion dated c 1465-70. The material 

was tempera and oil on wood. The size of the painting is 18" by 26"..  When I saw this painting something 

about it that I could not take my eye off of it.  I saw the blood that was dripping from  Jesus hands, side, and 

feet raised above the canvas it looked almost real as though it has just nailed a minute ago.I really want to  

touch it to see if it was real blood strange but this painting made me feel as though he was being crucified 

as aI was standing there.  In the left hand  top of the painting the atomspheric perspective you can see a

city that looks like it might be going up into the heaven or sky it has a felling the it has a linear perspective.

I would say that this was done maybe in middle age because it is a painting of religious, it is also representatial

and it oblique projected because the sky and the city at the top of the picture.  The colors in this painting are 

a lot of primary colors such as red ,blue, brown and green.  You can see how far Jesus must have came from the city to the hill where he had to carry his cross.  There in front of the painting you have Mary his mother who just can't

take looking at Jesus on the cross stumped over, and a woman in front of the cross looks like she might be trying to trell

him something. You have other people who are just looking the you have the guards standing there to make sure

he stays there.  It a lot going on in the painting I could talk about this painting to someone for hours because everyone 

would see something else that I didn't see.  I really enjoyed my trip to the museum.
