The Jan Van Eyck is born in 1395,and died 1411.He is the best artist in Netherlands school of painting,and he also invented oil painting so he has a very large contribution to the art.In his life he drew a lot of painting and my favorite one is "Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife ".

Artist:Jan Van Eyck ~~ Date:1434
In this painting the room is decoration very luxury,adove the person's chandelier is very expensive because this chandelier is elaborate.The two person both are wearing expensive clothes,their
clothes maybe is use the sable and ferret's fur to mad.The man's gown original has a very beautiful collar but because as time goes by so faded.The man's black hat is very epidemic at that time.between the two people has a mirror and in the mirror has two people the wedside said maybe they are the artist.The woman feet has a little dog,in that time the dog represents loyalty.

Trinita
Artist:Masaccio Date:1245~1428
In this painting,Masaccio use the perspective to paint and the paint is very symmetry,cross at the center,slowly opening to radiation.The bottlom of the cross has a sarcophagus,and sarcophagus inscribed I once was what you are and what I am you also will be"
When I see this painting,I find some interesting thing is the real church's chapel is very big,but in this painting the church's chapel is very small,I think this is church attached to the chapel.

Donatello's David
Artist:Donatello / Date:1430~1460
This statue is Renaissance's work and this work is from Donatello.This work was round sculpture erected outside the building 's work.This work the most striking parts of his body was copper.At his feet had a big giant head,because he defeated the big giant and cuted his head.He was smiling because he beat the giants.
When I saw this sculpture,I think in history if you can beat a giant,it was very glory.I feel David's body's muscle curve was very beautiful and solid.
