Duerer's paintings

<<Praying Hands>>
1508
by Albrecht Durer

This painting has a story, is about his friend and he. Before, he and his friend were active artists, but they were poor. So they decided to pay out together. They agreed one person will go studying and learning first, and the other person will work. Duerer said he wants to work first, but his friend said he was better then him so his fried worked first. After four years, he finished his studying. Now his friend will go studying, but his friend because of hands was having irritation, he can't paint anymore. One day, Duerer saw his friend was praying at God. So he painted this picture.


<<St. Jerome in his Study>>
1514
by Albrecht Durer

In this painting, a man is sitting in a room like a laboratory. And there is a light on his head. A dog and a lion are sitting in front of the door, and a skull, a sandglass. All of the things are about the lost of the time, but there is no devil and it is very quiet. If the unrational behavior will make greedy. Then the people who studying hard, his soul will be redeemed. I like this painting because the man inside looks holly with th light, even he is quiet and not having very much vigor.

Taipei trip:Da Vinci exhibit

This photo is our school's students, teachers and student's parents. We took this photo after we finished seeing the exhibit. We all had fun.


==========================================
On April 4 Saturday 9:00am I bought my breakfast and walked to Savant. Until 9:30, every one was all there. Then some of my classmates' parents and teachers drove us to Taipei to see the exhibit of Da Vinci.
We arrived Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. In the exhibit, there are many copies of his paintings and some fo his inventions model. There are two notes that writen by Da Vinci. His notes are difficult to read, it makes the notes more mystify. I like the war machine, especially the machine like tank. It has many cannons and I like its shape. I also like the clock and the special flute. The clock design is inscrutability, but I think its defect is it can't have external force. I am not very interesting in the paintings, I only like the "secerts" of the paintings that what is its meaning and its strange places.
Da Vinci was an inscrutability man, he was good at many things, invention, painting, music, architecture. Even more.
