Bearded Man with a Velvet Cap

Govert Flinck                                                                                                              Bearded Man with a Velvet Cap, 1645                                                                                                                                                                      The Met

For the Final project I chose assignment #3 the Creative Project. My thesis or topic is the differences between Renaissance and baroque art. I will make a drawing that differentiates the differences between the art of the two eras. These images/paintings that I chose from The Met relate to my project for they are from the eras I will be discussing. They show some of the differences I will discuss such as perspective and lack of emotion due to the focus on perspective in Renaissance art and dramatic or strong use of detail/ emotion on the face in baroque art.
