Three Favorite PaintingsBy Kevin Bott

Information about Painting Title: Christ Crucified Author: Francisco de Zurbaran Date of Composition: c. 1655 Artistic Era: Baroque

Why I chose this painting

I chose this painting because it shows how Jesus died on the cross for us to go to Heaven. If Jesus did not die and go to Heaven we would not be where we are today. Luckily we don’t have to worry about this. This as moved

me to believe that I can trust Jesus to be there when I need him or

someone to talk to.

Information about painting Title: African Beach Author: Maria Fortuny Date of Composition: c. 1867 Artistic Era: Romantic

Why I chose this painting

I chose this painting for a few reasons. One reason is because, it shows that

Africa has many features to it. Another reason is, it’s open and free. It’s not limited by its surroundings,

because you can imagine what else is going on. Last reason is, who doesn’t like a beach painting. I do because I can imagine myself there having a

good time.

Information about painting Title: Frozen Assets Author: Diego Rivera Date of Composition: c. 1931 Artistic Era: Modern

Why I chose this painting

I chose this painting because it shows an average man in what seems to be New York City just living as everyone else. I can relate to this because I am

just an average person living in an average world just like everyone else.

I’m not special, and not above anybody.
