    Throughout the course of the last couple of weeks, we were assigned a finite list of readings that enveloped in us writing responses to said readings, along with the occasional showing of periodic movies that encompassed what we had learned in Latin America. These readings and movies helped shed light on problems ravaging the newly found colonies for instance; in “Camila”, the main protagonist was Camila who lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the 19th century when Rosas was governor and a very prominent

    restoration attempts finally resulted in a restoration of the painting, but there were very few original strokes left of the mastery behind Leonardo Da Vinci’s paintbrush. In relation to the story that the picture told, it was an interpretation of the supper which Jesus had before his hanging on the cross. The painting also represents the moment after Jesus reveals that one of His own disciples will betray Him, leading to His capture before crucifixion. It truly captures the distress amongst the disciples

    Mannerism acts as a gateway into the Baroque style of art parting way with scenes of tranquility with earth tone colors and realistic aesthetics and drawing closer to exaggerated scenes with vibrant colors and melodramatic atmospheres. The two “Last Supper” paintings by Leonardo Da Vinci and Jacopo Tintoretto illustrate perfect examples of the transition from the realism of early Renaissance art into the later Renaissance styles of mannerism and shows a hint of what’s to come in Baroque style art

    A Tale of Two Last Suppers Jesus’s Last Supper, as detailed in the Gospels, was vital to the story of Christ. At this supper, there was a major development – one that would shape Jesus’s life and shape Christianity itself. It is at this final supper where Jesus announces to all of his apostles that one of them will betray him. This is, of course, in reference to Judas, who would turn Jesus into the authorities in return for a reward. The apostles were shocked and confused. This major development

By using the year that Raphael’s School of Athens was created as a mark for artwork that was created before and after that time frame, I have chosen the Last Supper as a piece that was created before and the Mona Lisa as a piece that was created after.

    The Count’s Last Supper: La Gran Granja Throughout the film, the Count seeks to be recognized as a kind of Christ figure, identifying with the slaves as his loyal disciples. In this way, he deliberately chooses to overlook the relationship of labour with his slaves, created by the same economic necessity he claims to abhor. He cloaks the slaves in the assumption of their apostleship but addresses them as slaves and grants one of them his “freedom”, seemingly ignoring their awareness of the difference
