The first picture (The Music, 1939 Henri Matisse) is Modern Art. It has bright and vivid colors. The shapes of the women and objects are not realistic.
It is a similar style to paintings by other modern artists such as Picasso.
The second picture (The Ballet Class, 1871-1874, Edgar Degas) is
an Impressionist painting. It shows a moment captured. One can feel the movement before and after. The colors and brush strokes are also a similar style to other works of Impressionism.
The third picture (The Arnolfini Portrait, 1434, Jan van Eyck) is a classic portrait and is most likely an example of Renaissance art. The couple were probably wealthy and paid for the portrait. There are many features in the painting that seem to have deeper meaning, which is a similar style to other Renaissance works.
