Assignment 5 second part

 Describe the portrait of the fur merchant. Why is he "the business man'a hero"?
   The portrait of the fur merchant is very classy looking. It is of a man wearing lots of brown fur. It is so much fur, that it is running down his body. Fur symbolizes luxury and wealth. He appears to have a note on one hand, as if he is handing the note to someone in front of him. He looks serious but sincere In a way. He is the business man's hero because he is the ideal person of luxury, wealth, and ambition. He seems to have confidence and respect.


What is the mood of the portrait of the 83 year old woman?
  The mood of the old woman is almost sorrow written all over her face. She seems to show more negative feelings than good. Personally, I feel that she looks almost scared and vulnerable in a way, but part of me also sees her struggling through something of her own.

What is  Rembrandt community in his painting of Samson and Delilah?
  Rembrandt is trying to communicate  vulnerability through his work of two people trying hard not to let go of each other, but having to do so anyway. This painting is about love and feeling inseparable including the feelings that comes with letting go of a lover or the feeling of being cheated on or not given your all.
