I have had a wonderful time learning how to and sharing my visual analysis of these great works of art with you this year.
Note: All but one of these posts was written for my Art History class at Cambridge 2023-2024. I chose to write on topics that I had pictures of. At times it was a bit of challenge. I ultimately wanted to be able to post original pictures and writings and if I took a picture of it then I knew I already had a certain level of interest in the piece.
