Saint Jerome Reading, by Bellini
(Interactive version here)
Ryan, Nikki, Henry and Peyton: Except for the blue sky and Saint Jerome's robe, the colors are not as vivid as in other Renaissance paintings. There's not enough red!
The realistic details are great, but we are confused about the lion next to Saint Jerome: what's he doing there?
Dawson: I like the squirrel up on the ledge.
Celia: That's not a squirrel, it's a rabbit!
Dawson: Squirrel.
Celia: Rabbit.
Charles: Settle down you two. It's clearly either a Ruirrel or a Squabbit.
Tomas, Amanda, Rosalie and Bertie: The dress is beautiful, and all of the details are amazing. And there are even gargoyles in the background!
(An especially perceptive observation by this group - I had never noticed the gargoyles before).
Sam, Jago, Gresh and Riley: Here's a painting of a ghostly pregnant lady, holding a boat that is mirrored by another version of the lady, standing in the background, next to a life-size boat. We really like the double image.

Julia: I like the way he painted the white material in Claudia's outfit. It's so wispy.
The Adoration of the Shepherds, by Giorgione
(Interactive version here)
Things we like about this painting by Giorgione:
Oliver: The colors and the outdoor scenery.
Lillian: The angels.
Lucas M.: The mountain view and the shepherd's knife.
Sophie M.: The cave.

Maeve, Lia, Jackson and Charlotte: The bodies are curvy, detailed, and realistic. The outdoor scene, in the middle of nature, is beautiful - especially the sky. There are lots of vivid colors, and the shadows and linear perspective give it depth and space.
