Hi Bruno, I really enjoyed this blog entry! I firstly enjoyed the way you verbally captured “Milford Sound, New Zealand” by Eugene von Guérard. I like your choice of wording in this paragraph to describe the greatness and majestic quality of the painting. When gazing upon this painting I would have to agree – you are struck with a sense of romanticism and beauty. I like how you have directly contrast this sense of beauty that interested you about the painting with the challenging Captain Cook sculpture. I found the way in which you were able to juxtapose the beauty found in the painting with the sombre tone of the sculpture particularly appealing. I also think it was great to see you mention the way the sculpture challenges typically ‘mighty’ views of Captain Cook, giving you good link to the question. I think perhaps to strengthen this link you could potentially give more historical insight into Captain Cook himself. Perhaps also you could fine tune your blog and check over for any grammatical errors to make it stand out that little bit more. Other than I thought it was really interesting myself to see what artworks you were interested in and also challenged you. Keep up the good work!
