A short tip in Morton Simon Museum

Today, we went to Morton Simon Museum for both the history class and the writing class. We appreciated a lot of pieces here, which intrigues me is a piece named Coronation of the Virgin. It is a subject in Christian art by the artist Guariento di Arpo who came from Italy. He worked in Padua, where the influence of Giotto was primary. Giotto is generally considered the first in a line of great artists who contributed to the Italian Renaissance. His two famous pieces are both about Christian. And in the Middle Ages, Christian paintings were famous. So with the two reasons, there is no doubt that why Guariento di Arpo painted this piece.

In my personal view, I think this piece is really perfect. When I first saw this paint, it really it astonishes me. “ How can it be such amazing?” Look at the whole piece, it was combined with several small paintings, all the paintings are logic order stories. The painting is excellent and the composition of the piece is also good. All the paintings have its own position, not too bright and not too dark. These paintings are realistic. According to me, I do not like abstract arts very much. So this is one of the reasons I like the piece. If I visit the Morton Simon Museum again, I will certainly appreciate it for one more hour.
