Exploration Document Draft Cultural Artifacts My First work is the painting, "The Lamentation", by Giotto di Bondone. During the Italian Renaissance Era. It was painted in the year 1305. The Medium is 'Fresco". Its Dimensions are 6'6.75"x 6'0.75". The Location is in, Scrovegni Chapel, Padua, Italy. My Second work is painting, "The Merode Altarpiece, ca", by Robert Campin. During the Netherlandish Renaissance. It was painted between 1427-1432. The Medium is "Oil on oak panel. Its Dimensions are 2'1.5"x 3'10.5". The Location is in, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Common Theme The Main Theme in both paintings is Religion. In both The Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ are being depict, in the painting "The Merode Altarpiece"Jesus Christ is just mentioned to The Virgin Mary by Gabriel when he is announcing to the Virgin Mary that she has been chosen by God to be the Mother of His Child. It is still much reference to both in these two paintings. It is about the becoming of Christ and the history. Personal Experience The Theme is personally meaningful to me because I believe in God, Christ, and the Virgin Mary. I am not an extremist religious person, but I do believe that there is a higher calling and person who is watching and protecting us. I believe in purity and all things Sacred. I believe in what Jesus Christ did for us, sacrificing his life so that we can all be saved, as well repenting from all sins for salvation. Believing that there is a higher purpose is what has guided me through life as well as protecting and supporting the people that surround me and believe in me. As I get older, I believe all of this to be true and I teach and show my son how important it is to 2

believe, and to believe everything has its purpose and reasoning, and that all sacrifices have it's reward. We celebrate Jesus Christ birth, and it is a National Holiday as well as his resurrection. Profession Professionally, Religion and believing in all that is powerful, transcends into my profession. Believing that we have a higher purpose in life allows me to influence and affect others in a positive way. My believes influence my work and how I manage my team and peers, keeping a positive and optimistic attitude, knowing that when something goes wrong or not as planned, there is a purpose for it and I try to teach my team this, so that they can have a better reaction to things and in term helps them to regroup quickly and respond to any "Fires" with a better sense of urgency. As I stated before, I am not a religious extreme, if that is even something that is called, however, I do believe that we all have a purpose greater than what we see in our everyday lives, and this helps to guide me, and it has led me to be able to influence a lot of people through work in a very positive way. I give people hope, I teach people that everything is possible regardless of their background or upbringing as long as they have the desire to be better, have integrity, moral and great work ethic. Humanities Resources While searching for the Cultural Artifacts, I came across a few resources to reference the two paintings. The first resource I chose is, “Looking at Giotto’s The Lamentation. Thirty -two Minutes” by Chris Morrison. I like how it details and speaks about the Sistine Chapel and references the Scrovegni, or Arena Chapel in Pauda, Italy which interior is covered in Fresco paintings by Giotto Di Bondone. “I was struck by the extent to which Giotto Anticipated Renaissance era painting in his work” (Morrison.C. April 6, 2012. Looking at Giotto’s Lamentation). This resource speaks on the possibility of Giotto's cycle of frescoes and the 3
