Enthroned Vs Cimabue

While both pieces of Art have men as their main focus the techniques used to bring the pieces to life are greatly different

In general, both Giotto’s Lamentation and Caravaggio’s Entombment are idealistic paintings for their times. They both show the artistical achievements for their era by their use of detail and new techniques that are available for them to use within their perspective paintings. These

Christian art throughout the Italian Renaissance period reveals an interest in the individual’s experience of the world. The two artists, Giotto di Bondone and Filippo Lippi reflect this interest through their artworks.

The first two periods of time that this shift was made was the Romanesque style and the Gothic style of architecture. Both of these styles have made great contributions that can still been seen in today’s architecture. With Romanesque being the first stylistic period in time with Gothic immediately following it there is much to be said about the similarities and differences.

When first looking at the two pieces, the contrast between the depictions of the human form is most evident

The style is different and cartoony. The other painting of the women are more full body. This picture has a perfume bottle, a phone, a flower, and a selfie.

An ominous version of this painting is done by the successful artist Caravaggio’s version of The Betrayal of Christ, and in this approach of the painting there is more of a dramatic feeling to it. The figures displayed here play an important role, from left to right, we can see John, Jesus, Judas, three Roman soldiers and a man in the back holding a lantern which seems to provide one of the paintings light sources, although the primary light source is not evident. An interesting character is placed in the back, Carravigo himself is located at the upper right-hand corner of the painting. When it comes to the subject matter, it has a deeper appeal to one’s emotions, since the use of dark colors, contrast a sense of sadness and despair, the characters

These elements were contained by the exterior chapels defined by the buttresses. These chapels would continue along the aisles until being interrupted by the crossing and the resulting transepts. Continuing through the church, on the east side of the crossing lie the choir, lined by chapels as well, continuing into the apse, which was surrounded by a double ambulatory and five radiating chapels.

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a former high school student of the Art Institute of Treviso, and a former college student of Nullo Pirazzoli and Manfredo Tafuri-- professors at the Institute of Architecture of Venice, valuable historians, and your estimable colleagues in books such as The Renaissance Portrait: From Donatello to Bellini, and Heresy, Culture, and Religion in Early Modern Italy: Contexts and Contestations. Those books along with your books Il Sogno della Pittura and L ’Italia delle Meraviglie are priceless treasures of our Italian culture.

Sometimes in the art world using similar subjects can result in very different works. Such an example of this is in the tale of the two Madonna’s. The first Madonna is by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael. This piece was completed by Raphael somewhere around 1505. This piece is oil on panel and currently is on display at the national gallery of art in Washington D.C.

Of the abundant versions of this painting in the artist’s own hand there is a smaller copy in the Museum at Lille, and other variants are to be found in the Episcopal palace in the Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires. The variant most similarly related to the painting in Budapest is the larger-scale version in the Church of Santa Maria at Andujar which displays other works of mannerist art.

Giotto di Bondone is an Italian painter who was born in 1266-76 and died in 1337. He is identified as the father of Renaissance painting, as his works were significantly acknowledged by other artists at that period of time. The style of his works is normally formed in Byzantine style of paintings as he developed expressive figures in pictorial space. Furthermore, Giotto worked with artists from all over the Europe, attributed and demonstrated four fresco cycles with those artists from 1288 to 1292, finished by 1297. The life of Christ and two other cycles have significant characters in every one of them. Giotto’s earliest achievement definitely is The decoration of the Arena chapel in Padua, its background history shows in Riccobaldo Ferrarese's

Luca Signorelli was an artist who painted many altarpieces for churches in Cortona, his hometown. One of which was the Lamentation over the Dead Christ, which he painted in 1502. He used a “left-to-right” narrative style for this painting to show different scenes representing Christ’s life, while also bringing new innovative aspects into the paintings of Signorelli’s time period such as the ringed halos of light rather than the traditional plate-like halos. Also, this religious painting is also advanced in depicting the religious events in a naturalistic manner with humanistic emotions and physical appearances.

In this essay, I’m going to compare two artworks from different periods, talking about their functions, characteristics and contexts in details. One is the Lamentation over the dead Christ of Byzantine Art painted in 1164 by an unknown artist temporarily called Master of Nerezi, and the other is the Lamentation that Giotto di Bondone did in 1305 during the Late Gothic. The purpose is to show the genius of Giotto, who is a key figure in Western art, because he paved the way for the birth of Renaissance. Simply put, the Lamentation of Giotto is a much-improved version of the Byzantine Lamentation.
