Madonna And Child Enthroned With Angels And Saints

Many ages of art shine through Duccio’s portraying of Mary in Madonna Enthroned (fig. 6). Both being trained in the Greek manner, Duccio’s version of Siena’s patron saint is comparable to Cimabue’s Enthroned Madonna and Child with Angels and Prophets from the year 1280 2 (fig. 7). Duccio, however, took a softer

There is a lot of unifying factors that argue that these paintings are part of a collection together. Both angels are positioned upright in the sky vibrant blue sky, with their body fitting within the picture plane. These angels are adult sized females, wearing flowing clothing. The angels are equal sizes and almost mirror each other, except for an item in their hand and the placement of colours. They are both blond, wearing similar attire, and using similar colour pallets. The angel on the left is wearing a light pink dress with layers under of white and blue. The angel on the right is wearing black with layers under of pink. The clothes gently lift to give the illusion of floating. A lot of moulding and detail in the shadows are used to make the fabric look textured rather than flat. The drapery suggests an attempt at naturalism. There us a lot of details and darks and light in the material. There is a difference between the heavier

This paper will compare the themes found in the paintings "Madonna and Child with St. John the Baptist and an Angel" by Domenico di Bartolomeo Ubaldini (Puligo) and "Madonna Enthroned" by Giotto. Both paintings deal with fables from the Christian faith but were executed during different periods in art. The Giotto painting was created around 1310 and the Puglio painting was executed between 1518 – 1520. Here, these two paintings have similar themes both at the extreme beginnings and endings of the Italian Renaissance, and as such they serve to present an exceptional example of the developments in art that occurred within that time. This paper shall compare

From my trip to the art museum the piece which stood out the most to me throughout the entire experience was David Ghirlandaio’s Altarpiece showing the Virgin and Child, with Saints Apollonia and Sebastian. The work of art specifically depicts an example of a sacra conversazione such as the ones we have looked at in class. This piece was made specifically in the 1490’s or the Early Renaissance time period and directly came from Florence, Italy where it was commissioned by the church as an altarpiece. Ghirlandaio specifically used tempera and gold on panel for this painting which he made in his family enterprise. Overall, the painting is roughly five and a half feet in length and height and is an excellent example of the type of works one would expect to see out of the Early Renaissance time frame.

The Ghent altarpiece and the San Zaccaria altarpiece have many similarities. Starting with the Virgin Mary and the belief in Christ. Both of these artworks depicts the Virgin Mary. At the top of the Ghent altarpiece shows scrolls and books or prophets and sibyls that predicted the coming of the Christ (the coming of the Messiah). The top left is the Old Testament prophet Zacharias and the on the top right we see the Old Testament prophet Micah. The moment that they predicted is unfolding right below the scrolls, which is a scene of the Annunciation. Gabriel is seen on the left and Mary on the right. On angel Gabriel’s hand is lilies, which symbolizes Mary’s purity, her seamlessness, and virginity. He announces her that she is about to conceive Christ. You can actually see words coming out of Gabriel’s mouth in Latin “Ave Maria” (Hail Mary full of grace… blessed art thou women”). On the right, there is a dove above Mary’s head and it symbolizes the Holy Spirit. There are also words coming out of her mouth in reply to angel Gabriel. But

A Comparison of Barna di Siena’s Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine and Rogier van der Weyden’s Saint Luke Drawing the Virgin and Child

Throughout history, people have used paintings and art as a tool to express their religious beliefs and values. Illustrations depicting the Virgin Mary and child, often referred to as Madonna and Child, are one of the most recurring images in Christian and European Art through the ages. Though these paintings and sculptures may have similarities in their iconography and style each work of art varies based on the different artists’ and time periods. Two paintings that portray these features currently reside in the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. The first, Virgin and Child by Rogier van der Wyden, was originally painted after 1454. In the painting, the Virgin Mary is holding Christ against her shoulder as he twists around to face toward the viewers. The second painting is Virgin and Child with a Donor, painted by Antoniazzo Romano and originally painted c. 1480. In this painting, Virgin Mary is supporting Christ who seems to be standing and includes a figure of a man with his hands crossed in prayer. While both paintings depict the mother and child, there are both similarities and differences in style and portrayal. In this paper, I will thoroughly examine these traits, as well as address the similarities and differences associated with the two paintings. This analysis will be done by using information gained from reading Gardner’s Art Through the Ages, in class lectures from ARTH 1381 Art and Society Renaissance to Modern and ARTH 1300 Ways of Seeing Art, and close visual

Madonna and Child with Angels and Prophets, an alter piece standing some 12 feet and 7 inches tall, was created around 1280-1290 A.D. for the Church of Santa Trinità in Florence, Italy and is now in the Galleria delgi Uffizi Florence. This iconographical piece was constructed through tempera and gold leaf on wood by Cimabue, an Italian painter who brought classical tradition back into art during the 13th century, when Italo-Byzantine style was dominant, paving the way for art in the Renaissance period.

The painting The Holy Family with Saints Anne and John the Baptist, 1592 (oil on canvas) was created by Italian painter Sofonisba Anguissola (c.1532-1625). It is currently held at the Collection of the Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami, as a gift from Mrs. Forbes Hawkes and Bridgeman Images. This painting is among the unique pious narrative paintings by Anguissola. “The Holy Family” is the last dated painting by the artist. It was executed when she had just returned to Italy after spending 14 years working for King Philip II at the Spanish court. By this time, she had already married to a Genoese ship captain. Her various visits to court and her personal contacts with great painter at that time largely inspired herself. Through these contacts, she successfully stayed in touch with current developments in art. By closely observing this masterpiece, I argue that the artist perfectly sustain the beauty of counter-reformation arts in her work by use of light and shadow, delicate brushwork and accurate proportions of each subjects.

The title of this artwork is Virgin and Child with the Young Saint John the Baptist and Angels. It was created by François Boucher in Paris. It was painted in the year 1765. It was painted with oil on a canvas. This painting is housed in the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, New York. In this painting, Boucher wonderfully depicts the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus, along with a toddler Saint John the Baptist and a lamb, having a picnic together. They are being watched over by five small cherub angels up in the heavens.

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.

In comparing the two works at hand, it is easy to find similarities, even though they were done in very different styles. First, both works were made very formal, so that they could be worthy of the rulers to whom they belonged. They are very serious depictions of the interactions of humans and divine figures. Both pieces are asymmetrical in nature, but the Babylonian work shows an inner focus on a frame at the center, which is symmetrical. The colors of each work are very important its purpose, which explains why both works use such a wide range of colors and balance the light and dark schemes so well. The figures in these pieces are very stable and strong, and share mostly realistic proportioning of the human body. Even though many things about these works can be compared on a parallel, they are still very unique paintings with many differences.

Even there’s such a huge time difference between the two painting there are many similarities between them. In both that painting, both artists used rich dark color in the background to draw more attention to Lady Helen and Caroline Bartlett. In doing so the two ladies became the focal point to of paintings. Also, both of their eyes resemble each other greatly. They both got that deep glazed in their eyes as if there was something more. It’s amazing how these two paintings were painted in a complete timeline, but they are so alike.

It seems fitting that for more than a century, the popular image of an angel has been that of an angel by Angelico. As historian Pope-Hennessy tells us - "the idiom he evolved has come to be regarded as the natural language of religious painting". (1) The impetus to research Fra Angelico's life comes from a deep respect for religious art . However, having grown up in the Catholic Church, stained glass windows and sculptures of religious figures were more familiar to me than religious paintings. An in-depth look at the life of one of the most familiar Italian artists was very appealing . Angelico's work was very well known in his own day, and throughout the entire Renaissance period it lost

The first art work being discussed is The Descent from the Cross and was painted by Rosso Fiorentino. This painting was created in 1521 and is oil on panel. This painting was commissioned for the Chapel of the Compagnia della Croce di Giorno in the church of San Francisco in Volterra. This painting is in the style is very idiosyncratic. The second painting that is being looked at is called The Last Supper and was created by Jacopo Robusti who goes by Tintoretto. Tintoretto created this painting in 1594 and was oil on canvas. This painting is in a style of more expressiveness and less realistic in these effects. This painting is located in San Giorgio Maggiore.
