Bordone And Tintoretto Comparison

In document A, Duccio Di Bouninsegna's Painting shows The Mother Mary on a throne with the baby Jesus on her lap. The painting was two-dimensional and lifeless. According to Document A, "The clearest evidence of the break with medieval culture comes from visual arts. It was the essence of the Renaissance.

Tintoretto’s portrayal of the Last Supper is one of dramatic Metaphysicalism. It features the dinning table diagonally along the left half of the work behind it Jesus and his Disciples before the table there is a woman cleaning and in the area above them are the angelic presence of cherubs. There are a number of smaller scenes present within the artwork and there are a number of focal points, which lead the viewer’s eyes over them. The work is full of emotion and is largely unbalanced this is reflective of the time in which the work was created when there was a lot of social outrage and anger. Tintoretto used fantasy, to the point of surrealism in this work; Cherubs and halos are used to emphasize the religious significance of the event. This work has the presence of women. There is a strong contrast in this work with very deep shadows and vibrant bright highlights due to the dramatic lighting. There is an extremely strong use of colour and chiaroscuro.

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 painting depicts real people doing everyday things, like studying. Classical Antiquity was greatly displayed through another painting it depicts a normal person holding a balance. In the Middle Ages this would have been frowned upon because they discouraged the making of realistic paintings (Follett software). Realistic paintings would not have been introduced to the Renaissance without the humanists studying classical antiquity.

Barna da Siena’s Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine and Other Scenes from 1340 is vastly different in content, composition, and a number of other attributes from Fra Carnevale’s 1467 painting Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple. It is clear between the roughly hundred years between when the two were painted that advancements in realistic painting soared and a further appreciation for realism and humanism developed. The need to portray more than just the holy subjects, and to show how far painting had evolved is evident in the differences between Barna and Fra Carnevale’s works. Although, the emotion behind Barna’s work, and its significance are, in my eyes, far greater than that of Fra Carnevale’s.

Tintoretto’s Last Supper has a very similar symmetrical composition to Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of the same subject.

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 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

Painted on a panel, this painting was done in tempera, a pigment dissolved in egg. The chief medium till the late 1400s, tempera dries very quickly and when it does it gives a flat and dry appearance. This painting has sharp brushstrokes that do not fuse together and the forms have very sharp edges. All this is attributed partly to his style, and partly to the limitations of his medium. Artists at this time did not know much about the study of perspective, and Barna di Siena’s image reflects this flatness and lack of dimension. Not only are there different people on different scales supposedly in the same plane, even individual

“Last supper?” A question I pondered as I viewed this magnificent painting by Veronese for the first time. Jesus Christ in the center of the painting sitting behind a table with his apostles just like The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci. Big difference between both paintings Veronese feels more active compared to Leonardo’s his painting feels more peaceful not many figures to take away the attention of Jesus and his apostles. Background plays a major role, Buildings and houses spread across the painting. The color of the painting he decided to use for the background was a little different compared to the colors that are being used in the front of the painting. One of the main figures that caught my eye was the dog right in the center as if he was looking back at Jesus Christ. Dwarves right in front of the painting as if they were trying to hide from someone.

The great thing about art, is that there are multiple portrayals of one idea but, the artist’s own personal style allows one to feel something that another may not. Early Renaissance painters, Giotto di Bondone and Duccio di Buoninsegna established their own unique style to depict a biblical scene known as, The Betrayal of Christ. Through a close analysis of each artist’s representation of, The Betrayal of Christ, one is able to compare and contrast the artists own understanding of the scene through their attention to detail, character, and space throughout the painting. When examining these two works, one will have a stronger emotional response towards Giotto’s interpretation rather Duccio’s, due to his methods of handling organization, figures, and space.

Vittore Carpaccio’s symmetrical input truly served it’s purpose. Focusing on the center third of the painting, there’s a mere perfect symmetrical contrast of life and death top to bottom. Most impacting is the symmetrical division of the malnourished and tortured body of Jesus Christ, The left side of his body is in a lively sitting posture on the throne. While his right side is the embodiment of death, his punctured ribs and dangling arm. From the ground up, Carpaccio illustrates the contrast of life and death with minimal details in the painting. The supporting stones of the throne, directly below the arm rests, are divided by breakage, the left stone is cracked and falling apart, while the opposing stone appears to be intact. Vittore Carpaccio managed to capture the cycle of life with many elements one wouldn’t think of comparing life and death with. The top left portion of the throne is a half broken, followed by Jesus’s deadly posture to the falling apart ground stone of the throne, Death is captured in a very recognizable minimalistic form.

The art and beauty in this painting is exemplified through the eyes of Boucher. It starts with a beautiful couple taking a rest after picking up some followers. Their clothing looks very elegant and colorful which shows that they are aristocrats. The man’s eyes are gazing at a shepherdess who gathered her own flowers. Their eyes are locked despite the man having his own woman right in front of him. The light brushstrokes of the dresses, flowers, and trees

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

Although, the way Leonardo allows its viewers to depict the scene from a specific point in the Bible adds to the importance and significance of the painting in which no other artist could even compare. He does allow the viewer to recognize this scene by the gestures of both the Lord and the Apostles. The Lord sits ever so quietly while the Apostles rise in reaction to what the Lord had just announced. It is rather obvious that Leonardo chose the critical moment after the Lord had stated, ‘Verily I say unto you that one of you shall betray me,' because of the emotions that evolve in this specific scene (Matt. 26.21).
