Analysis Of The Art Piece Name Yo Mama 's Last Supper By Cox

The work of art that I selected was Leonardo da Vinci, Last Supper. The painting is an illustration of Christ’s final meal with his apostles, and has been argued to bear resemblance to the traditional Passover meal. As noted in the book Art Past Art Present Christ reveals to his apostles that “One of you will betray”. The painting captures the facial reactions of the people when Christ says these words. Some of the notable reactions include Philip pointing to himself illustrating him asking the question is it I. As well as Christ and Judas both reaching towards a plate that lies between them. This is significant because as noted in the essay The Last Supper Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker noted Christ had said “He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me” (Matthew 26). I choose this painting because of all the detail that is clearly illustrated on each of the people’s faces. In addition, I was aware that Leonardo da Vinci was not the first artist to paint the Last Supper so I was interested in how it differs.

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.

When Leonardo da Vinci painted his famous work, “The Last Supper”, he prepared himself by making a thorough study of the lives of each of the twelve Apostles as well as the Lord. Then he set out to find real faces to paint as the faces of the thirteen men represented in the painting.

The women of the story are not treated with the respect, which reflects their social standings. The first image of the women that the reader gets is a typical housewife. They are imaged as “wearing faded house dresses and

Although she knows her son will be reborn, she still can’t accept the truth that her son is dead. On the painting, not every character’s attention is on Jesus. John the disciple and another female character supported Jesus’s mother by lending her with their hand. The characters on the right took Jesus down from the cross. All of their facial expressions show sadness. The facial expressions make this painting look more like a realistic photo. Jesus’s mother is wearing clothes in blue, which is a very expansive pigment in that time. This fact shows that the social status of religious is very high at that time.

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.

The piece is a collection of place settings made up of a plate, utensils, a goblet, and a unique runner for each setting located on three long dining tables that are places on a tiled floor, yet there is much more to the piece than meets the eye. First off the three long dining tables have purposely been set up in a perfect triangle which is “a primordial symbol of women hood as well as equality” (Arnason 576). This is a simple yet effective nod to two of the principles that the feminist art movement were striving for. Going even further, each table respectively represent a period in history, one presenting early history to the Roman Empire, another Christianity to Reformation, and finally American Revolution to the feminist movement. The piece also uses media that for the most part had been relegated to the realm of craftwork which was needlework and china painting. Each place setting has the name of an important female figure embroidered on the runner “in a style appropriate to its figure’s historical era” (Arnason 576). Along with the embroidered names are perfectly embroidered triangles at each of the three corners that have a repeating triangle shape on the inside, again contributing to the women hood and equality ideal. Complementing the embroidered names are thirty-nine hand painted plates each with a relatively unique design on them. These designs

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

An early example of fantastic renaissance and one of the world’s most recognizable paintings, as considered to many all over the world, is Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper, which is an iconic and powerful work of art. Finished in 1494, it has stood the test the time and you can go see this painting currently in Milan, Italy at the Santa Maria delle Grazie. In order to paint it, Leonardo used an oil/tempera mix and applied it to a dry wall. “He did this because he wanted to capture the look of an oil painting, but even within his lifetime it began to wear off. Further destruction was caused in the seventeenth century, when a door was cut into the bottom,” according to Italianrenaissance.org. As it stands today, this masterpiece is currently 523 years old which is impressive due to the fact that it has been through so many tragic events, such as countless wars and occupations of different countries. Natural disasters could have also easily destroyed it as well like countless other paintings last throughout time.

In this artwork, there are three girls with different heights. Two girls on the left looks like cutting a cake, while the girls on the right is looking at the two girls in action. The green table cloth with a bit patterned was used as a food and beverage on it. Some kuih-muih are placed on the coaster set, a whole cake, five glasses of unorganized, a big white bowl and a kitchen towel. It also appear in the corner wall as can be seen there are divide into two walls. In the back of right girl also can be seen there is a trolley, which is decorated with some dried flowers in a vase.

comes off as androgynous rather than a specific gender. The interpretation of this painting can be left up to the individual viewing the painting but the implication of the character being painted as androgynous can be seen in historical terms. These terms being that women are starting to be seen in a more masculine role due to their increased role in both society, and in taking control of their own lives. Applying masculinity to women of this time period would also have other implications further emasculating the society causing the battle against conservatives to be even harder.

Similar to other types of artwork, the ones that depict the Virgin Mary with one bare breast contain multiple messages from both the artist attempting to convey something specific and the possibility that the viewers could interpret completely different meanings. One must thoroughly analyze the social and religious aspects of the period when they became popular in order to fully comprehend the various messages in the images of the Virgin Mary nursing Jesus. The messages, however, are conflicting with the way that the Virgin Mary is portrayed as humble in the paintings so that she can be more easily relatable to real women and the way that religious texts emphasized her idealness to differentiate her from ordinary females to prevent women from

This piece is symbolizing a lot of different thing. The man looks like the boss because he is over the lady and he holds a slave child in a dog leash. We know that the child is a slave because he has devil horns on the top of his heard, which represent slavery. The child is holding a dead bird, which represent death or bad relationships. The legs that stick out of the side look like a boat. It looks like the child want to go on the boat and escape his slave life. At that time woman were less valuable and they didn’t matter as much as men. The woman has also a slave under her dress, which can say that she doesn’t respect the man enough to tell him the truth. That the woman shows us that she has a secret, which may say that she has more power/control than her man. Also the tree behind looks like a face/figure, which either points or warns someone about what is happening. I know it is in the night because

towards her body does not need any viewers’ definition. From disguising and performing, she conveys the aspiration of merging herself with the mother-like

As we all know the Last Supper is the last dinner that Jesus shared with his Apostles before he was betrayed and crucified. Although this theme occurs in many works, The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci is the most famous and has been a subject of many discussions.
