    A sacramentary “was a liturgical book used for prayer during the High Middle Ages, containing prayers, prefaces and canons for mass” (“The Drogo Sacramentary”); this sacramentary was created between 845-855 CE for Drogo, the Bishop of Metz (“The Drogo Sacramentary”). This artwork is interesting to me because it illustrates the religious beliefs of French society in a beautiful and articulate manner. An artistic pattern found in illuminated manuscripts is a painted scene within an individual letter. For instance, in this illuminated manuscript a scene from the Lord’s ascension into heaven is painted inside the letter “C” (“Carolingian Art”, see Figure 1). It is amazing to consider how small the area is for the artist to paint; still the artist is able to illustrate a mountain, 12 disciples, two angels, and Jesus in a limited space. The artist uses colors of gold, red, yellow, green, blue, and black; these colors are simple, yet the combination of them is bold and grabs the viewer’s…

    This is yet another well-known story from the Bible. It shows a child kneeling on the ground embraced in the arms of someone who means a lot to him. According to Frank this painting symbolized a disobedient son who left his father and home to be on his own and when he had nothing left he crawled back expecting his father to turn him away. But he did not open his arms to let him back in. The painting demonstrates the Baroque style. The emotion and drama involved show the most heartfelt part of the story, not the pain or betrayal only the love of a father and son. The light is brightest on the father and son. Here he interprets the Christian idea of mercy with an extraordinary solemnity, as though this were his spiritual testament to the world (Web Gallery of Art,…

    However not all of the works in this wing held religious connotation . An image that appealed to me was a depiction of how Cleopatra committed suicide, "Suicide of Cleopatra" painted by Guercino . This image stuck to me because of the widely known legend that Cleopatra used cobras to commit suicide. Cleopatra looking away as she inserts her hand into a bowl of deadly snakes demonstrates this . Another secular image was one done by Dutch artist Pieter Claesz named…

    The first panel is the donors that commissioned the painting by Campin, the second panel is the same Annunciation scene of Mary and Gabriel but depicted quite differently, and the third panel is Saint Joseph. This painting pays close attention to clarity and detail, with varying colors and realism. The painting is in oil, and has a style that reflects the Northern Renaissance period. For example, the angel and Mary do not have halos, and it lacks linear perspective. The lack of halos, as well as Mary’s face (which doesn’t seem too happy about the fact that she is about to conceive Christ’s child) could relate to the religious separation that Northern Europe was experiencing during the Renaissance. Northern Renaissance art is very well known for its symbolism, and in this painting nearly every object is symbolic of spiritual ideas (Harris). For example, lilies represent Mary’s virginity, Joseph’s tools represent the Passion of the Christ, and the extinguished candle represents God taking human…

    In Ruth L. Ozeki’s novel titled My Year of Meats, she utilizes protagonist Jane’s experiences filming a propagandistic television show for an American meat lobbying organization to explore social and political problems in both American and Japanese cultures and how each illuminates the other. In particular, halfway through her journey filming and discovering the structured ignorance fueling the meat industry, Jane attends a Baptist church in Harmony, Mississippi while interviewing the poor, black family of Miss Helen and Mr. Purcell Dawes as possible stars of an episode of My American Wife!. The sermon given by the Preacher that morning in Mississippi prepares the reader for Jane’s dive into researching the unpopular details of the meat industry, its mechanisms of success and the industry’s place, or lack of, within the countries, states, towns, communities, neighbors and families of the world. Throughout My Year of Meats, Jane explores the effects of the meat industry on a plethora of aspects of life including reproduction, economy, regional identity, racism, and gender roles.

    The Annunciation is one of the most popular biblical scenes depicted in the early northern renaissance painting community. By focusing on this one particular scene, as painted by artists considered to be great at their craft in the Flemish region, either by birth or by employment, it is possible to note the individual style of each, and therefore, prove that not one of these artists should be considered the ‘best…

    Masaccio Vs Fresco

    • 1820 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Masaccio is a celebrated leading painter of the Italian Renaissance. The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden is one of his frescos. Painted around 1424-27, the fresco rest on the walls of the Florentine Brancacci Chapel. 1 (Fig 1.) It documents how Adam and Eve were evicted from the Garden of Eden. Similar to Masaccio’s Expulsion from the Garden of Eden; Masolino's magnificent Renaissance fresco, Temptation of Adam and Eve, (Fig 2.) is also found in the Brancacci Chapel of the Santa Maria del Carmine Church.2 Both frescos are two of the most representative depictions of Adam and Eve, but Masaccio’s approaches of working on shadow, composition, expressions, color and symbols made his Expulsion from the Garden of Eden more unique at that time.…

    The Annunciation Analysis

    • 969 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Many of the objects depicted in High Renaissance paintings were there for a reason. In “The Annunciation,” Mary is the largest figure and the main focus. She is shown facing front, with her head tilted toward the floor and her eyes almost closed. In her left hand she is holding the Bible, representing her devoutness to God, her right hand is raised, all fingers pointing up. Archangel Gabriel is on the left side of the panel, shown smaller and wearing the ornate vestments of a priest. His clothes symbolize the similarity between him and the clergy of the Church: they both share the word of God. They are both wearing very loose fitting clothing that have many folds. The Holy Trinity is represented here by God, baby Jesus carrying his cross, and a dove, often a symbol of the Holy Spirit. They are all connected by seven rays of light, flowing directly from God’s mouth onto Mary. The seven rays represent the seven days it took God to create the universe. Gold is used as a symbol to represent divinity (Smith). White lilies in a vase between angel Gabriel and Mary often symbolized Mary’s purity. Written on the vase is “Ave Regina,” representing the Hail Mary prayer. The Latin words written in gold are archangel Gabriel telling Mary, “‘Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus’” (Luke 1:31). Symbolism can also be found in the frame of the painting. The three arches at the…

    Seven Deadly Sins

    While Bosch was creating The Seven Deadly Sins and Four Last Things, it became apparent to him that the use of monotone and contrast was deliberate in the effective use of the visual components. Since 1898, its authenticity has been questioned several times and still continues to get questioned. For example, the painting is oil on wood panels and is presented in a series of circular images. As with most paintings, we find clues that point our eyes in any direction (Charney, Noah; 2010) as of this painting, it draws our attention to the centre. It is shown that the pupil of the eye of God is where Jesus is emerging from his tomb. And all around him are the seven deadly sins; (from the bottom moving clockwise) Wrath, Envy, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth,…

    Hall Of the Bulls, Lascaux

    • 1347 Words
    • 4 Pages

    This magnificent painting dates back to Lascaux, France 15,000-13,000 B.C.E. It was found on cave walls and it is said to represent one of the earliest examples of artistic expression. We can see that this piece was created during the Paleolithic period because; they are images walls using paint on limestone. We can see that the primitive people used natural rock contours, which suggested the animal’s volumes and portrayed real representations of a major role in their lives, which were the animals. We can see horses, bulls, deer, cows and more animals on the walls of these caves. Furthermore, the images of the animals are overlapping earlier illustrations; this would suggest that what made the people at the time want to paint the animals was the simple act of portraying them, instead of focusing on the effect that their act would achieve. On the religious part of this piece, we know that several of the paintings were situated far from the entrance of the caves. This type of placement followed by the gigantic size and great importance of them would tell us that the secluded rooms were used for ceremonial and sacred gathering places. I would have to agree with this interpretation due to the fact that it is believed that main use of the caves was for worship and initiation rituals.…

    As I walked into the first gallery, I saw a wood sculpture that stood in the center of the room. This carving depicted "the crucified Christ, flanked by the Virgin Mary and St. John the Evangelist with Angels holding instruments of the Passion". It was painted oak and very appealing to the eye. It stood approximately 15 feet in the air. The origin of this sculpture is unknown, but it was found in a Belgium church. This kind of sculpture usually stood at the entrance or at the center of the alter in the church facing the congregation. This image of the suffering Christ relates to the Christian ideas of suffering and Christ's salvation of all mankind.…

    In this essay you will be comparing and contrasting two different types of paintings. The same subject matter but different ideas of the same subject. I will be writing about The Last Supper, which was painted by Giampietrino, after Leonardo da Vinci. He used oil on canvas while painting the piece of art. The year that Giampietrino painted this picture was in 1520. Another work of art that I will be writing about will be The Last supper by Francesco Fontebasso. He painted this picture in 1762 using oil on canvas. As you can see from both types of arts, that they were both painted on oil on canvas and both have the same subject matter which is the last supper that Jesus Christ had. To both of these painting’s in person, you can go to the Royal academy of Arts in London to see the Giampietrino piece and Fontebasso’s piece is found in Museum Fund of the State Hermitage in St Petersburg.…
