The art worked I saw at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was huge painting done by, Carle Vernet, named "The Triumph of Aemilius Paulus. I choose the piece because it caught my eye.
While reading the description I tried to envision myself being right there with in the painting. I felt like I was looking at a scene from the Trojan War. This was obviously a cheerful setting in Roman times. There were many battles that took place and when finally winning one the King, Queen and the entire city came out to have a big celebration. This way of celebration reminds me of something like a parade that we have today. .
The painting is beautiful. The architecture in the background is so detailed and it almost looks real. Almost all the buildings were built with pillars. The wall stands out, it separates the people and the inner city and the rest of the land. The painting has numerous people which are all gathered together waiting and watching the King. The King is being pulled on his chariot with his beautiful white horse leading in front up on his back legs. Some of the people that surround the King still have their armor in hand. .
This painting seems to have taken a very long time to paint because it is so meticulous. It also appears to be loud, with the colors and the color red stands out very much. .
