Description
of the
Museum
• I was given the chance to attend the Fine Arts
Museum in Houston for free and was greeted
with kindness and respect.
• The museum looked to be very well-kept and
had many different rooms, all containing art
pieces from different periods of history.
• Along with the many art pieces, this museum
also contained many artists worldwide.
• The museum holds special events every
couple of months that focus on one specific
artist.
• I will be presenting my photos in order from
when I walked in to when I left.
∙ This was the first piece that you see
when you start your exploration in the
museum
∙ This piece was taken from a coffin
made of marble and is to be
recognized to be made by the
Romans around 220-230 AD.
∙ This carving represents the famous
story from roman mythology,
Meleager.
∙ I found this a great way to start things
off because I was able to realize the
innovation that was presented on the
marble.
∙ Pay attention to detail on the faces
and hair while also finding a way to
tell an entire story just through
The Return Of The Body Of
Meleager
• Painted in 1903, by the American Fredrick
Remington
• This is showing the group of Natives
surrounding a herd of horses while flailing
buffalo hide above their heads, which might
have been a tactic used by the Natives.
• This oil on canvas painting is representing
the vast and open landscape that was once
freely roamed by the Native Americans.
• I felt a sense of pride and love when it came
to a highly accurate painting of what it was
like for the native’s life in the past.
• Close your eyes and imagine the pounding
of the herd of horses and the wind hitting
your face as your ride.
Change of
Ownership
• Painted by Charles M. Russell, finished by
1897
• This art displays a Native American
scouting party to be looking over the
horizons, scanning the coming of “White
Men” that would soon come to take their
land.
• You can notice the curiosity and concern
that the Native Americans have when
looking at the painting.
• Another point I wanted to mention was to
look at the landscape and notice how it is
an open world that the Native Americans
lived on before the settlers colonized.
• This art made me sympathize with the
Natives because of the unfortunate events
that occurred. The author also wanted to
portray the feelings of how the Natives felt,
which I was able to understand.
Approach of the White
Men
• This art was made by the
Italian artist Paolo de Matteis
and was worked on from
1682-85.
• The meaning behind this
painting has not been defined
yet, but what is known is at
the top sit’s Knowledge, next
to her is Painting and
Architecture. Below them is
Arts.
• I believe this painting
symbolizes the talents and
skills that were highly looked
upon in Italy during the late
1600s.
• What I found ironic was that
there was another painting in
the painting.
• I was captivated by this piece
of art because of the
enormous size and the detail
of the sisters and the skills
Saint Michael the Archangel
• Created by Spanish artist
Claudio Coello, finished by
the 1660s.
• Michael (also known as
Jesus) is portrayed striking
down The Devil as the book
of Revelation describes it as
“There was war in Heaven”
• This piece was made to
represent the victory of the
church they went through
during the Protestant
Reformation.
• Although Saint Michael the
Archangel was used many
times throughout Spain
during the 1600-1700s, I felt
that this artwork is original
and gave the people of the
church the feeling of
empowerment as that is what
Christ and the Samaritan
Woman
• Painted by Italian artist Giuseppe
Bartolomeo Chiari, finished by 1712
• This is an illustration of one of Jesus’
encounters, this time with a Samaritan
woman. He is currently preaching to
her about how he can offer her “living
water” referring to everlasting life after
she kindly gave him water.
• Jesus was a Jew; Jews did not
typically speak to Samaritans which
shows the type of man Jesus was.
• I do not believe this was an original
artwork because the information
mentions that the author also made
more paintings of the same
occurrence, but out of all of them I did
find this one the most detailed and the
best example of not letting your race
interfere with your faith.
Transformation
• The pure gold clock and the
dresser are outlined with gold from
France during the 1700s.
• During the reign of King Louis X,
(1715-1774) France transformed
their art and fashion to a new style
called Rococo.
• This new style looked dazzling and
brilliant, ultimately going for more
style. The sculptured clock, marble
top, and floral design on the
dresser, with both bright and
beautiful gold.
• I would consider this an original
piece because I have never seen
an art piece or even modern-day
furniture look similar.
The Royal Hunt of Dido
and Aeneas
• Painted by Italian Francesco
Solimena, finished by 1714
• This painting represents when Aeneas
and Dido were separated from their
party, with only them alone. They
sheltered in a cave and made love for
the first time, after a rainstorm caused
by Juno.
• I was able to analyze that this painting
represents the whole premise of the
story. From them being separated,
Cupid is there to show that Dido was
under his influence, the Goddess Juno
explains the rainstorm, and Dido
points Aeneas to where the cave was
located.
• Everything is organized to be able to
tell the story and I believe it is an
original work as I believe not many
artists are able to capture a scene with
“A Bull Fight”
• Painted by French
Jacques-Raymond
Brascassat in 1855
• A King of the Hill battle
between two bulls, while
another bull and dog are
looking from a distance.
• Although there is no
significant message,
Jacques-Raymond was a
landscape painter, who
excelled at painting farm
animals.
• This is a Texas Favorite; I
believe because of the
bulls and farm dogs. It
breathes Texas southern
farm life.
• I believe this work to be
original as this was to
represent the area
Jacques-Raymond lived
Conclusion
∙ The amazing number of paintings and history that the museum holds is
astounding, with some that will take your breath away.
∙ I will say I have not been to many art museums, but I will say that this one is
my favorite so far. I took many pictures and learned so much, but I couldn’t
see everything because there were so many! (I plan on going back) ]
∙ The museum was two stories and had another building across the street that
offered even more artwork, that I was not able to attend.
∙ This is in Downtown Houston and has a very positive review throughout all
sites. If you enjoyed my presentation, I highly recommend you see it for
yourself because of the experience but they provide a discount for Lonestar
students @ the front desk.
