On May 27th, I visited Getty Museum. After
getting off the shuttle from parking lot, huge artistic buildings and stone
pavement welcomed me. The atmosphere in Getty museum is completely different
from other places in Westwood. They had several kinds of exhibitions in each building.
"Long-Case Musical Clock", which was made by German Cabinetmaker David Roentgen, is decorated by the gilt-bronze.
Chronos (Father Time) contributes the clock dial. The garland over the dial indicates the passage of the year. It was able to inform "flowers for spring", "wheat for summer", "graps for autums" and "holly leaves for winter". The roundel shows us the face of day and night.
This Desk holds a reading stand with compartments that include an inkwell and sand pot.
The design at the top of desk is excellent crafts. Even though this was made in about 1785, its function and design seems to be superior to the modern desk.
I am impressed how much his furniture is very polished and beautiful. While seeing it, I felt that my studies will be going well if I have such a great desk. Besides, this reminded me of the connection with mathematics (architecture). David must closely create this desk while analyzing and calculating “the best desk”.
This is “The Bucintoro Departing from the
Bacino di San Marco” by Italian painter Luca Carlevarijs. This shows the
Venetian ship of state, the Bucintoro, and a ceremonial wedding ring will be
tossed into the water by the doge of Venice. This paint made me inspired a lot
because it is very dynamic and powerful by long view painting.
I stayed in Getty Museum for an hour, but it
was not enough time to see all exhibitions. There were many fabulous arts, and
I rapidly fell in love with them!
