Saint Michael Casting Satan Into Hell

The piece of art I chose is called Batman created by Lino Tagliapietra made in 1998. The median is glass. Batman is a U shaped figure with very pointy ends and 2 little spikes sticking out of the top. The right end sits up higher then the left end. The artwork is smooth with little dimples all over it. It’s red on the whole sculpture with a blue stripe horizontally through the middle.

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:

The first art that interested me was the art of Indonesia which in this exhibit depicted the

The ominous figure in the centre of the foreground - Jesus Christ hanging lifeless on the cross, in Luca di Tommè’s ‘The Crucifixion’, primarily catches the eye. The symmetrical arrangement of lamenting figures around the cross, as well as the gilded background, highlight him as the focal point of this artwork.

The second floor of the museum is filled with paintings and works from the Common Era. These pieces originate all over the world and span centuries. It includes pottery and figurines from first century Asia, suits of armor from the Medieval Era in Europe, to contemporary paintings and sculptures in the Americas. This is where the majority of well-known artwork is located.

Upon walking into Gallery 250 of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, one will find on the wall a particularly eye-catching piece of art. The piece, set high on the corner of the wall encompassed by pictures depicting scenes from the life of Jesus Christ, is Giulio Cesare Procaccini's The Scourging of Christ. In this piece, Procaccini's masterful use of light and shadows in a technique called chiaroscuro dramatically portray the torturing of Christ, and it is this very application of chiaroscuro that immediately caught my eye. Through his masterful rendition of value, Procaccini successfully evoked within me a crushing sensation of agony. While I did not initially realize that the piece was one of Christ, research enabled me to witness how

On the right, there is a naked woman as we can see her breasts are well defined. There is a serpent tangled around her legs starting from her legs to her stomach. This piece reminds me of The Magi Asleep and The Flight into Egypt because of the plant like leaves all around the sculpture. Both Magi Asleep and Flight into Egypt have plant like features on them and all three of these sculptures look to be engraved and sculpted pretty similarly. We can tell that this unknown sculpture is Romanesque because even though the demon and nude woman aren’t wearing clothes that we can use to describe the body movements and how the clothing drapes with their figure, we can look at the surrounding objects. The hairs on both figures are unruly and untamed, and we can see how the hair on the woman curves with the waves and the demon’s where it flames outwards. We can also see the objects between the demon and woman clearly, with the way the sides and the curvature of it are evidently

Luis Tapia Heavenly Toaster is the one that caught my eye from the all the other art that I got to see when I went to the Denver museum. I don’t know what it was if it actually was because he had to do with the Virgin Mary or the bright colors and something different and unique that I had never seen before. When I First saw it from the corner of my eye I was like who would do a piece on a toaster not knowing exactly what it was. But once I got closed and read the note card that Luis Tapia had right next to his piece gave me a good understanding of why he chose this piece and why he did it. The card stating that it combined the Hispanic tradition and mischievous sense of humor. Coming for a Hispanic background I can relate to Luis Tapia when he stated that people seeing religious images on highways embankments, walls of buildings, potato chips, and tortillas or in this case freshly toasted bread. The way he had his piece displayed represents in some way how the Hispanic culture displays there’s religious pieces in a pedestal. The colors of his piece are bright and every colorful that when you first see the piece it makes you want to go see it before any other piece. Seeing the details that were in carving the Virgin Mary and Jesus in a small piece like a toaster front and back is very time consuming but also very artistic because seeing the picture is very detailed orientated and is known of what was carved. After seeing his art piece and getting a little

Romanesque sculpture were often incorporated their art on the outside of the building. Not only was architecture important that it wasn’t gospel literature that would move the people but how they often felt before entering the building.

For My Museum Essay, I have chosen Rogier van der Weyden’s “St. Luke drawing the Virgin” (c. 1435-40). First of all, this painting is an extraordinarily beautiful piece of art, with both meticulous details and true to life emotional state of the figures portrayed. And it intrigued me even more when I found out that there is a very compositionally similar painting by Jan Van Eyck (“Madonna with Chancellor Rolin”).

There are many pieces of art throughout history that are quite magnificent, but some of the best come from the Renaissance. The Sacrifice of Isaac, Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, and David are three pieces of art that reflect the beliefs present during the Renaissance. The Sacrifice of Isaac is a bronze panel that shows Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac. It was created in 1401 by Filippo Brunelleschi for a competition. The piece has strong realism as it represents the scene as it was meant to be.

The Holy Trinity by Masaccio was a painting done in approximately 1428. It is a

My work of art is Michael the Archangel vanquishing the devil. It was drawn by Raphael the great renaissance artist. The miniature version of this painting was completed in 1504 or 1505 A little more than a decade after completing the little St. Michael, Raphael was commissioned to revisit the theme, producing St. Michael Vanquishing Satan for Pope Leo X. Following further restoration in 1685, it was transferred from the original wood to canvas in 1753. Michael had many abilities, to make him the most powerful angel. He is loyal and righteous to all and Michael’s name means protector of god. Also, God himself appointed Michael the Archangel as the general of the armies of heaven. Michael is also my confirmation name which I picked because
