Compare and contrast these two works using formal analysis and your critical thinking skills. Begin by identifying each work fully, including the title, artist (if known), period or style, date, and location (if applicable). In your comparison, please provide a thesis statement or brief introduction. Be certain to address the formal elements of each work (e.g., composition, treatment of figure and space, and use of line and color), the materials and techniques used, the works’ functions, and their relation to each other. Do not discuss each work in isolation, but rather, provide a developed comparative analysis that considers each work’s relevant social, political, religious, and economic contexts.

The two have a multiple similarities and differences. Bramante’s Tempietto was commissioned by the Spanish rulers in order to mark the supposed site of St. Peter’s crucifixion, as an attachment to the church of San Pietro, while Alberti’s Façade was commissioned by Giovanni Rucellai, a neighbor of the incomplete Santa Maria Novella, as reparation and improvisation of a church was considered an act of piety. So, the former was made to commemorate St. Peter while the later was made to achieve piousness. Both the architects used extensive mathematical research to make their works more pleasing to the eyes. For example, Bramante made sure that the distance between the columns was four times their diameter and also that were place two diameters length from the wall, while, Alberti used a simple of squares, with three main squares diving the Façade, two squares on the lower story flank the extraordinarily classicizing main portal; likewise, the temple atop the frieze fits within a

First, the plots of both works need to be discussed and explained how they are different. The stories of both works have basically the same
Describe how both authors use similar elements in their short story. What else could you discuss about the similarities you seen between the two texts? In addition, what differences could you argue (keeping in context to the literary elements)?
What’s also important to note is even though they are both covering the same subject, they have some notable differences. Now, despite them covering the exact same historical event there are some interesting differences. The first notable difference is the tone in each work. The painting has a very dynamic and
To add on from the concrete dissimilarities of both author’s interpretations. Both pieces also have conflicting moral and this can be derived from the fact that the pieces were written in different time periods and two totally different authors. It is evident that both authors drew
Italian High Renaissance artists achieved ideal of harmony and balance comparable with the works of ancient Greece or Rome. Renaissance Classicism was a form of art that removed the extraneous detail and showed the world as it was. Forms, colors and proportions, light and shade effects, spatial harmony, composition, perspective, anatomy - all are handled with total control and a level of accomplishment for which there are no real precedents.
Compare the views of these two scholars by answering the following questions. Be sure to find specific examples in the selections to support your answers.
The Italian and Northern Renaissance share a few common things in terms of their artwork. However, they also have many differences. I will be focusing on the differences between these two renaissances. Some of the differences include the main forms of medium that they used, their subject matter, and what each era was known for. I will be talking about these three differences, and will also provide examples.
To begin with both poets illustrate their strong and seemingly passionate ideas about apartheid and bigotry towards their particular culture.

The idea of a comparative analysis essay is to strengthen ones understanding of a particular work by reading two different texts side by side. The purpose of reading two texts at the same time is to give the reader a better idea of what each story is implying. Having another text to compare each of the stories to make for a more clear analysis of them. After analyzing Gabriel Garcia’s Death Constant Beyond Love and Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis side by side it was evident that each story presented the feeling of solitude.
Throughout history people can see many of the developments and differences among cultures, through the artworks that were produced. This essay will carefully analyze, evaluate, and compare four distinct works, from different time periods and cultures. The works to be compared are: The Woman from Willendorf, The Bust of Nefertiti, Figure of A Woman, and Young Flavian Woman. Throughout this paper the style and function of each individual work will be explored, along with the cultural ideas presented in each piece.
Pontormo focused on adding distorted figures that defined natural body curves and movements. The composition of ‘Descent from the Cross’ is too crowded, the forms are compressed into the foreground, and has a central void. His color choices were known as a ‘sour palette’, during the Mannerism art period. He experimented freely with traditional subjects from the Bible and mythical religious themes by incorporating dark visual references. The painting hangs in a dark corner of Florence's Capponi Chapel half-human, half-reptile subjects, adding drama to the composition.
The Renaissance period is known for the revival of the classical art and intellect born in ancient Greece and Rome. The Renaissance is also a time that is marked by growth, exploration, and rebirth. The Italian Renaissance started in Florence and progressively made its way into Venice and then into the great city of Rome. During the Renaissance, Rome was home to some of the most renowned works of art and the finest architectural masterpieces in the world - too many that still holds true today. Along with the delicate architecture and grand artistry, Rome was also home to a mixture of people and cultures. It is in this cultural context and through the book A Street Life in Renaissance Rome: A Brief History with Documents, that understanding how men, woman, and specifically Jews and Christians lived in Rome becomes important to better understand this period of renewal.
