Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century landscape artists often sketched outdoors in oil paint on paper to capture nature from direct observation. Yet as natural as these scenes look, the vantages were chosen or augmented to draw the viewer into the composition. Whether through adding a prescribed path, capturing flecks of light glinting off a winding river, or presenting a series of plateaus receding into the distance, artists created a point of entry and route along which the viewer could journey. These small-scale oil sketches—including a work by one of the few female European landscape painters of her era, Louise-Joséphine Sarazin de Belmont—illustrate how artists synthesized the real and ideal to evoke the experience of encountering nature.

When I heard that this treasure-rich classical museum in Midtown New York has a museum with a rich collection of books, I immediately added it to my check-in list. After visiting it, it immediately upgraded to the top 3 museums in New York. Both the appearance of the museum and the exhibits inside give people a sense of surprise.

Such a spectacular museum is the private collection of the famous J.P. Morgan. According to the introduction in the museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art also has many of his donated collections. When I saw the library with a large scale of books, I instantly realized the true meaning of the old saying that books have their own golden house. The museum itself is also very architectural. It was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. The library and the architecture of the museum itself are cleverly integrated together. The classical library is full of books when you look up, coupled with the dark red printed walls and velvet curtains, full of literary and artistic temperament. I think reading here is also a different kind of enjoyment.

The Metropolitan Museum is a world-class art museum in New York City, USA. I have some brief feelings after visiting: 1. Extensive collections: The Metropolitan Museum has a wide range of collections, including artworks from Europe and the Americas, artworks from Africa and Asia, ancient artworks and more. These collections show the development of human art and culture. 2. Fine art: The artworks in the museum, whether they are paintings, sculptures or crafts, have made me feel the talents and innovation of the artists. 3. Interactive: There are many interactive exhibitions in the museum, which can better understand and appreciate the artwork. 4. Educational: The explanations and guided tours in the museum are very detailed, and for me, this is a good opportunity to learn and understand art. 5. Spacious and comfortable: the museum has a reasonable space layout and makes people feel very comfortable. It doesn&rsquo;t feel crowded even with a lot of people. Overall, visiting the Metropolitan Museum was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend everyone to have the opportunity to visit.

The representative of New York, USA, has two routes to take. We went up by ferry, and there is also a speedboat, but this is the most cost-effective. We went there at 2 pm, and there were not many people, so it was just right to come back. If you go in the morning, there are more tour groups and the queue will be very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.
