3 I NFORMATION A BOUT P AINTING Title: View of Toledo Artist: El Greco Date of Composition: 1599-1600 Artistic Era: Mannerist (Baroque)

4 W HY I CHOSE THIS P AINTING This painting intrigues me in many ways. It is a painting of Toledo, which is where some of my relatives live. Also, the dark contrast of colors makes the painting have an inner soul both evil and calm. There is a storm with light rays peeking through, while the ground is a bright green rather than a darker green. This may symbolize that even in the midst of a storm, hope and light can be found.

6 I NFORMATION A BOUT P AINTING Title: African Beach Artist: Maria Fortuny Date of Composition: 1867 Artisitic Era: Romanticism

7 W HY I C HOSE THIS P AINTING I am drawn to this painting because of its setting. The beach is one of my favorite places to be. Although the paintings colors appear dull and displeasing, there is a hidden relaxed mood. Waves in the background, a person staring out into the vast ocean, and clouds all give you the feeling that something about the painting is reassuring and unassuming.

9 I NFORMATION A BOUT THE P AINTING Title: The Flower of Life Artist: Frida Kahlo Date of Composition: 1944 Artistic Era: Surrealism

10 W HY I C HOSE THIS P AINTING This painting is particularly unique. The warm and bright sparks of colors carefully placed throughout the flower give the illusion that the painting may be coming to life. This perfectly fits the name, and gives an accurate representation of how life grows beautifully in many diverging directions. The veins coursing through the flower are filled with the happiness and joys of life itself.
