Analysis Of Orcagna And The Coronation Of The Virgin

The painting was massive measuring over twelve feet high and seven feet wide. The painting is vivid and vibrant red, blue, and the gold color over powers the viewer and shades them to the perceived glory of Jesus and all he stands for and can be to them. The image is not constructed in three dimensions that people are accustoms to today, but instead one dimension were size is

Gorgeously. Striking. Grace. The golden painting is taking up by the two most iconic symbols of Christianity: Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary. Christ gently placing a golden grown on the inclined head of the Virgin Mary, who is sitting on the right side of Jesus; her hands crossed over her chest symbolist of humble, reverent and loyalty. This position was purposely set by Fabriano. In Christianity art, position is significant in dividing between good manners and malefactors. For instance, in The Last Judgment by Giotto di Bondone in 1305, heaven was placed on right of Christ, and hell was on the left. This ideology was clearly stated in the bible “...before him shall be gathered all nations:

This painting is a portrait of an old woman who is sitting on a chair while facing to the left. She is wearing a yellow flower dress with a beige jacket while sitting in an empty room. Her beauty is illustrated by her curly, gray hair and also her wrinkled face, neck, and hands. These details is what makes her look real and pure. I like how detailed it is because it reminds me of my grandmothers.

Artist El Greco was commissioned to paint The Assumption of the Virgin for the central panel of the high altar of the church for Santo Domingo el Antiguo in Toledo (The Assumption of the Virgin). After El Greco arrived in Spain, this piece became his first significant commission. Some of the characters seen on the canvas

The halo looks to have been carved into the wood and then painted with a little bit of sun gold to heighten its appearance. The lesser portion of the painting has a dark brown color which might have being painted or made from a different type of wood. The base on which the painting stands is painted in dark brown and looks very firm. On the left and right of the arch there are blue colors meant to depict the skies filled with yellow stars. This depiction of the skies is said to be where God the Father resides. In the painting, there are three life like images that are clearly visible. The first one as illustrated in order of importance is God the Father who sits on his thrown that of a chair made from gold. His hair is long down to his shoulders; and he his fully garbed in a mixture of red, white and black being the dominant color. His garments are lined with gold colors and matches his long beard. God the Father hands are partially extended in front of him holding up a wooden cross which displays God the Son.

This painting was created by the artist Parmigianino in 1534–1535 during the Renaissance & Mannerism time period in Florence, Italy. The painting is oil on wood. The painting portrays the Virgin Mary placed on a high pedestal in extravagant robes, holding a very large baby Jesus on her lap. Next to her are a few angels showing interest in the baby Jesus. In the lower right-hand corner of the painting shows the emaciated figure of St. Jerome. A representation of St. Jerome was required by the administrator because of the saint's relation with the adoration of the Virgin Mary. The Madonna with the Long Neck is a portrayal of the Virgin Mary who seems to be very disproportioned.

The painting itself was created in 1937 and depicts a rural home. Outside it appears that someone has come to visit, as there is a vehicle parked out front and a man standing at the doorway of the house. Inside the home it can be seen that someone has passed away and loved ones are mourning their loss. Above the home there is a spiritual battle taking place for the soul of the deceased. Light has parted the clouds and there is a horse driven chariot followed by a parade of angels coming down from above. The spirit itself is surrounded by even more angels with trumpets in hand, ready to take the soul up to eternal glory. In a nearby tree is another angel who appears busy with a demon who

The painting chosen to examine is The Garden of Eden by Francesco Solimena. This painting was created between 1725-30. The medium of the painting is oil on canvas. The scale, although not specified, appears to be about a couple feet high and a couple feet long. The general subject matter is Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. It seems to be before they have discovered the forbidden fruit. The figures seem to be embracing everything the garden has to offer, they seem content and comfortable in their own skin. In most paintings, Adam and Eve are covered up after eating the forbidden fruit, for they are shamed. The fact that they are shown in the nude most likely suggests that they still have their innocence. An important thing to note about

location this painting depicts. It seems to be of biblical nature, as both people in the

The medium of the painting was Tempera on wood and this was common practice use of painting during the early part of the Renaissance. The painting itself tells a story. It shows three miracles that saint Zenobius performed. In the first scene, we are shown Zenobius beside what is believed to be a funeral procession for a young boy. In the painting itself, it is

The lighter gold on the painting focuses on a single man. The man is dressed in dark brown robes, the kind monks wear. The done comes around the neck and covers the chest of the man. Resting on the back of his neck throb is a dark brown good connected to the robe. Looking through the robes is

When I see the painting the shape is symmetric in the sense that there are the same amount of people on both sides of Jesus. The genre of this painting is Christian art.There are also four panels on both sides of the walls. In my opinion, the target audience that this painting was intended for are those who are believers of Christ. I feel this way because I think that this painting portrays the event that is talked about in the bible in the scripture Matthew 26, verse 21 where Jesus says “…"Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.". He then continues in verse 23 saying, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me”. In the painting, you can clearly see the man two seats away from his right reaching for the bowl at the same time as Christ. This event lead to the Holy Eucharist, also known as communion or the Lord’s Supper where Christ takes the bread which was to symbolize his body and wine which was to symbolize his

The last painting, Madonna of Chancellor Rolin is also an oil painting dating back to 1435. It is kept and showcased in the Musee du Louvre in Paris. The painting itself shows the virgin Mary crowned by what appears to be an angel while she is presenting the baby Jesus to Rolin. The background is astonishing with rich details and large columns and rounded archways. The use of depth in this painting is brilliant and so realistic. In the front is Virgin Mary and Rolin but towards the back and through the columns you can see a gorgeous landscape with a city and a river. It was probably meant to be Autun in Burgundy which is Rolin’s

Fig. 1 captures the very moment that the archangel Gabriel comes down from the heavenly realm to earth to announce to Mary that she will conceive the Christ-child and he shall be called Jesus. The gold of his crown is representative of the “celestial realm that he has left to deliver this message” (Kleiner, 2010:387). The announcement is depicted very much in the moment as the words are quite literally illustrated with the text "Ava gratia plena Dominus tecum" (Van Dijk, 1999:420), which leave his mouth from left to right as if they were encapsulated in a speech bubble. The phrase is in fact inscribed in Latin and reads as "Hail, Mary, full of grace, blessed art thou among women” (Van Dijk, 1999:420). The draping cloth around Gabriel’s gold-infused light blue robe whips around the angel as if he had just land and his wings, which are still erect, depict an effortless grace of divine delicacy in the way that Martini executed them. Making use of undulating, long curved linear lines, they are almost liquid-like in their fluidity. The angel is painted holding a branch of olive leaves in his left hand. This is a symbol of the Christ-head and his coming to earth as the “Prince of Peace” (Emmerson, 2006:456), and also makes a reference to the traditional biblical story of Noah, the ark and the dove returning with an olive branch as a promise of the covenant of peace made by God with man (Genesis 8:11, English Standard Version)

The painting was made with oil paints on canvas. The painting has a slight shine on
