The Metropolitan Museum of Art

William Scott-Elliot of Arkleton (1811–1901)

Sir Henry Raeburn  (Scottish, Stockbridge 1756–1823 Edinburgh)

ca. 1815–16
Oil on canvas
47 3/8 x 36 5/8 in. (120.3 x 93 cm)
 Since I saw this painting it remainded me of my baby girl. The painting shows a sweet little girl. It shows the beauty of an angel. The innocence of a human beign who is just starting to live her life. Another picture that I liked and caught my eye is:

Terrace of the Capuchin Garden, Sorrento

Heinrich Reinhold  (German, Gera 1788–1825 Albano)

                                                                     1823 or 1824
                                                   Oil on paper laid down on Masonite
                                                   15 7/8 x 21 1/8 in. (40.3 x 53.7 cm

This painting caught my eye because it shows the peace it feels living by the ocean filled with trees and a precious sight. The sight is so inspiring that I can imagine beign there breathing the fresh air.This website is a good website. It only took me a couple of minutes to explore it. There is one thing I believe is true for me, I believe it is better to see the paintings in person than thru a website. That way you can value the art more and find more meaning to it. There weren't many paintings that I liked, it doesn't compare to the museum visit.
