A Crucifixion Outside The City Of Jerusalem

Then there are also many psychological lines to be seen in the work. One such line is of the woman and the floor, where she is staring down towards it. Another is from the young child and the store clerk, showing a defiance between the two. Next, light and value are not very contrasting in this painting, with only the basic highlights and the shadows seen. It isn’t completely contrasting or contradicting since the colors blend well together with close to the same value ranges, dark colors seen throughout except for the people’s pale faces. There also seems to be a variety of light sources since the woman’s face along with the shop clerk and the young boy’s is lit up by what seems to be a light bulb since they’re much brighter and highlighted and then the men and women in the back aren’t really as bright, except for the ones who close to the open door, creating a blue tinge from the outside light. The shapes shown through the painting is shown to be either very round or very geometrical. There are organic shapes in things such as the umbrella or even the back of the chair, but mostly it is either straight lines and geometrical shapes. The volume shown in the painting is very much implied, correctly showing the

It is a famous example of Renaissance art showing portraiture, realism, and some perspective. In this painting there are four distinct characters. Each has a different expression that shows how they are feeling. There is also more detail in the faces then in any other parts of the painting. Another technique it demonstrates is heightened realism. Whereas before the Renaissance the figures may have been painted simply and in only enough detail to get the general idea across, these figures are shown more realistically. Lastly there is the technique of perspective as shown in the background of the painting. The sea stretches out into the sky and the land in the background is shown how it would look if the viewer was actually

The lines within the composition draws the viewer into several directions. The ruffles draw the eyes upward to the Daniel’s finger as it points to the right. Daniel’s finger directs the viewer horizontally as it does the king. The table with its array of dishes is another example of a horizontal line. The king’s hands are holding a fork and knife. The fork is also pointing right where as the knife is pointing left diagonally towards the king. The courtesan, leaning against the king’s right shoulder, is another example of a diagonal line. The painting also has a vertical feel to it. This is evident in the composition of Daniel standing, the candle and the arm holding the cigar. Like every line, every color used draw attention to the object.

The ominous figure in the centre of the foreground - Jesus Christ hanging lifeless on the cross, in Luca di Tommè’s ‘The Crucifixion’, primarily catches the eye. The symmetrical arrangement of lamenting figures around the cross, as well as the gilded background, highlight him as the focal point of this artwork.

However, the desert scene and mountains suggest that this was painted in Southern California. In the background, one can see a man leading a pack animal, a woman, and an infant along a road towards the church, identified by the cross on the rooftop. There are no shadows to define form in the background. This is, again, a contrast to the shadows made by the Madonna in the foreground. The lack of shadows, however, does not make the background look flat. The Impressionist styled painting and the lack of detail in the background creates a distant look that gives depth to the painting. The numerous contrasts between the background and the foreground allows the artist to subtly draw the viewer?fs attention towards the foreground. These contrasts help grab the viewer?fs gaze and direct it to the most important part of the painting: the woman and baby.

The figures in the painting take up most up the space. The background is not emphasized. St. Peter’s accuser and the soldier are very close to each other and St. Peter is further away from them, indicating that he is not in cahoots (USE A DIFFERENT WORD) of the accusations. The textures in the clothes of st peter, realistic color. The painting looks more of a picture and the onlooker is right there in the scene too. Oil on canvas provided for the painting to come across more

The oil painting is an attempt to map the motion and energy of the body. It is a sequential depiction of movement split into a series of about twenty different static positions that show a nude figure descending a flight of stairs. The nude, like the notion of the painting, is abstract, composed of conical and cylindrical shapes and elements, assembled in a way that suggests the rhythm of the body when going downstairs. The colours used are those typical of Cubist paintings - ochres and browns. This is because Cubists felt that using a

Spectacle and threacality are the use of light and shados to create a spot light effect, a term knows as tenebrism. This effect mainly focuses on the on the human drama and main characters of the story. When looking at the painting you will see that the background and the surrounding corners are very dark and shadowy in color, however the chief priest sodiers dressed in balck donot seems to dispear. The artist used bright and vabrime colors to reflect not only on the faces of the figures, but alos on their skin and clothing. The skin of the men in the artpiece glose in the spot light effect, allowing bright colors to contrat from dark once. Another attribute of the stylistic period is human drama. The man standing behind Christ has his hands up with his mouth wide open as if he was screaming for help. His rope fies over the figures heads suggesting motion and desperation. Jesus is the second figure on the left with a red and blue gown on. It's amazing how the light different parts of his face. The details of the wrinkles on his ford head and the position of his eyes suggests street, fear, and disbelieve. He crush his hands together showing that his user pressure and tension. The third man on the left of the painting appears to be Peter, because he seems to be protecting Christ from being arrested. Peter's facial and body expression display anger and the

Concerning color, there is a stark contrast between the figure on the painting and the background. More specifically, the figure of the woman is predominantly delineated in white color, especially pale, ashen white, as far her apparel and facial complexion are concerned, while there are also various hues of grey, with respect to her hair and accessory feather. These white and grey shades are vividly contrasted with the prevailing red and crimson hues of the background (viz. the drape, armchair, and table). Moreover, one can detect colors of dark green (jewelry), some beige on the left (pillar), and darker or lighter shades of blue on the right side of the canvas (sky), which all in concert and in addition to the subtle purple hue forming the sun or moon exude a certain dramatic sentiment. Also, there is brown, which often easily segues into gold (viz. books and attire details respectively). The main contrast of colors between white and red would be interpreted as serving the purpose of rendering the figure of the woman, and especially her face, the focal point of the work, despite, paradoxically enough, the lush red shades at the background. Bearing that in mind, the significance of the woman’s face will be enlarged upon later, when discussing aspects of her identity.

Each panel represents a scene from the New Testament in the Hebrew Bible. In addition, the borders surrounding them also contain other biblical figures according to Sayre. Ghiberti strove for excellence and profound detail in this work. He wanted viewers to understand the influence nature and art had on God. During the time of the Renaissance, religion was very important. It was known as the time of “rebirth.” It was a time when everyone could start over and rebuild their lives. Society strove for salvation of the soul; it was their mission and purpose in life. Art has an unexplainable way of influencing society especially when it comes to religion. It makes people think and imagine a better world full of life, faith, and ultimately salvation. Overall, this piece of artwork represents that idea

Jesus faces another betrayer, One of His most trusted disciples; now, He has two go against Him, except for John, abandon Him. So, He is now facing the jealous, religious leaders, along with the angry and hostile Romans. Peter, along with John, follows Jesus as He is being taken away into custody to face the coming trials and then His crucifixion. Jesus is questioned by the high priest; He is questioned about His teachings and ordered to reveal information about His Disciples. Annas became frustrated that he could not outwit Jesus' humility by his pride, so he sent Him to Caiaphas the high priest. Jesus was handed over to Pontius Pilate for a hearing at the evil requests of the religious leaders who sought His death. So, the crucifixion of

This portrait depicts one biblical scene from a four-piece alter. First, one can notice the torn flesh covered with splinters and thorns, the battered hands and feet nailed to the tree, and the crown of thorns fleshed deep into the head of Jesus. The painter portrays a scene of gore, pain, and ugliness. However, this proves to be important because God came to be ugly so that he may identify with all of creation. We are all ugly due to sin and it is this scene that portrays the beautiful act of redemption (Ephesians 1:7; Philippians 2:8).

Dramatic theatrical lighting surrounding the figures in the painting is used to create a sense of surprise that would be appropriate for a sense of miracle. The themes of religion/ biblical art are the most prevalent in this painting. There is also a symbolic meaning to the choice of fruit featured in this painting. The apple is significantly associated with the ‘Temptation’ and ‘The Fall of Man.’

The shapes of the figures are sharply defined and the objects such as the table, book, and string instruments. There are diagonal rhythms throughout the painting in which it creates movement. The light source in the upper left allows the source light to have a more natural appearance throughout the painting. The shadows at the right-hand corner and the men wearing green in the middle contrast the main object with the most sources of lighting. The objects shadows and lighting create dimension and a vivid sense of more contrast. There are areas in the making with more contrast and the sharp contrast that creates movement in the painting. The shadows and the lighting throughout the painting show gradations and the highlights create more depth. Staring from the upper-left hand corner with the first figure of a gentleman wearing a hue of blue and yellow, the left side of his face and garment shows the source light in right above him. The source light above the

This painting is divided into three equal parts by the arches in the background and the characters correspond to each of these arches (TV12). The father is in the middle portion of the painting. The lines of perspective created by the tiled floor, draws our attention to the swords that the father is holding and the vanishing point lies just behind the handles of the sword. Our angle of vision is such that we are looking directly at the main figures groups, particularly the father. A single light source from the left of the picture illuminates the characters and also focuses our attention to the father holding the sword. This creates a ‘theatrical’ effect. The background is simple and stark so our attention is focussed on the figure groups in the painting. The painting has a wide tonal range that makes the composition logical and balanced. The colours used in this
