art history Berger

For this assignment, you are tasked with going online to the Denver Art Museum's webpage to lookup the exhibit called the "Berger Collection."

Here is the link: https://www.denverartmuseum.org/en/berger-collection

Featured works in the Berger Collection gift include a 14th-century Crucifixion, a rare survivor of the destruction of religious paintings during the reign of Henry VIII; portraits by 17th-century masters Sir Anthony van Dyck and Sir Peter Lely; a Neoclassical work referencing Roman history by Royal Academy founder Angelica Kauffman; landscapes by the British School’s preeminent artists, among them Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable; and superb paintings by Sir Thomas Lawrence, George Stubbs, and the Americans Benjamin West and John Singer Sargent.

You go through the online collection, find two works of art, then write an essay about them. MAKE SURE THE WORKS FALL IN THE TIME FROM OF OUR CLASS (1400-1900). In your essay, you will be discussing how the two works fit into the time/movement they were created under. For instance, if your chosen work was made in the 15th Century then it would have been made during the Renaissance, so you would be writing about how that work is characteristic of the Renaissance. It may require additional research to learn about the artist you have chosen. 

Your essay must be two pages (two pages means two pages, not one and a half), double spaced in length. It also must be 12 point, Times New Roman.
