5. Why I Like It I like this painting in particular because of how it captures the moods of the crowd. It shows how grand of an occasion this painting represents. Also, the painting reminds of a situation where a family member finally comes home from a trip that was for an extreme amount of time. Just like my cousin coming home from the air force. The painting grabbed my full attention as soon as I saw it.

6. The Infante Baltasar Carlos on Horseback

7. Information Was painted sometime after 1635 By: Velásquez and other artists Was painted during the Baroque era

8. Why I Like It I especially like this painting because it is a reminder of me being young boy. It takes me back to when I would pretend to be a super hero and a cowboy. It fills me with those happy memories that I will cherish forever. I also like how the child on the hoarse is serious instead of a happy, playful toddler. It almost portrays him as if he is some sort of military leader or hero. It is a very unique painting that very much so appeals to my senses.

9. The Cabbage Seller

10. Information Was painted in 1936 By: Diego Rivera one of the most famous Spanish artists of the time This painting was composed during the modern era

11. Why I Like It I thoroughly enjoy this painting because it represent the difference in the working lives of different countries. Here in America we sometimes complain about the work we do when in other countries work sometimes comes more difficult for people. This painting helps make people more culturally aware of the hardships of our counterparts. Also, I love the color and line work that is present in this composition. Overall, the painting captures the attentions of its veiwers.
