In addition, Rubens combines two artistic styles. The first of these is that of the large single-frame altarpieces. This painting was made for the high altar of the Abbey of Affligem, which was different for the era. During this time, altarpieces were of exceptional scale and strongly vertical format; artists were faced with the problem of constructing a convincing compositional unity from a series of related themes in a vertical format. Rubens, instead of dividing the painting into an upper and lower register, chose to paint in a zigzag movement.
Masaccio’s Tribute Money Masaccio’s fresco in the Brancacci chapel exemplifies how painting changed in the 15th century Renaissance. He applied the concept of perspective, both linear and atmospheric, in his work “Tribute Money”. An example of linear perspective can be seen as the center of the building on the right and the lines from the landscape are aimed at point over Jesus’ head. This point is along a horizontal line which gives us our point of view as well as a point of focus, and creates a sense of depth beyond the flat surface of the painting. Masaccio’s use of atmospheric or aerial perspective can be seen by the landscape hills in the background that are painted in lighter colors than the hills in the foreground, again creating a sense of depth and spaciousness.
Hieronymus Bosch, Christ before Pilate Netherlands, Early Netherlands Renaissance, Oil on oak panel Christ before Pilate is a fascinating piece of work created by Hieronymus Bosch that shows a captivating image upon the appeal of Christ and his final day that is soon to come. At first glance, the depiction of Christ is fairly hard to tell, but this picture blindingly resembles his actual looks rather than the Christ we accept normally. Surrounded on Christ are nine caricatures in the evil doers group that seemingly represent wicked side of the material world. The artist put aside with Christ and evildoers as a comparison of the visible differences between good and bad. As the governor makes Christ to wash his hands for crucifixion, it is noticeable that Christ’s apparent of innocence and those caricatures evidently being presented that Christ is no way in par with them.
Rather than bring any innovation in pictorial language or mode of representation to painting, Dali s paradoxical images are his great contribution to the art of our time. Salvador Dali's 1951 oil painting "Christ of Saint John of the Cross" features a large image of the crucifixion of Christ hanging over the Bay of Port Lligat (Dali 1). Erwin Panofsky's iconographical analysis "deals with the manner in which, under varying historical conditions, specific themes or concepts are expressed by objects and events" (Stavrou 2). In this manner, Dali's painting of Christ reveals more than his own perspective on the icon of Christ. Dali's perspective is also characteristic of the basic attitudes of the era and society during which the painting was created.
A number of other symbols are also hidden around the room such as the dog, fruit, prayer beads, mirror, and bedroom setting. Eyck’s style differs greatly from recently studied Giotto’s work. Giotto’s style is essentially Gothic; he used gilded halos, fresco, and lacked the sharp perspective seen in Renaissance paintings. Eyck enjoyed using oils, and he focused on the realistic portrayal of people and objects. Both artists were extremely talented during their time, but Giotto could not overcome Jan van Eyck’s technique and attention to
Marriage of Giovanni Arnofini was a Renaissance oil-painting masterfully painted by Jan van Eyck to depict the marriage between Italian businessman Arnofini and Jeanne de Chenany. The artist’s material practices have flawlessly captured the moment of this incidence with mirror-like realism. However, it’s the symbols that are used in its conceptual practices that gives meaning and delivers messages subtlety in pure visual form. Many ordinary objects found indoor that appears on the painting are not just for ornamental purposes, rather, they give layers of meaning to the marriage scene depicted and also provide cultural and historical background to when the painting was painted. A mirror has been prominently positioned in the upper middle part of the picture plane.
Although two image’s messages are same, but they are painting in different materials. Fig.1 is oiling on the canvas and Fig.2 is oiling on the wood. These painting contain hundred of it around this world in different country. It becomes very popular because God created the world with love, because of this love made humans, but man has sinned, and the Lord god formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the spirit, he became a living soul. Fig.1 was created by Hendrick ter Brugghen during ca.1625.
He was good friends with Van Gogh and he painted with other great artists such as Cezanne and Pissarro. His art was also extremely influenced by Gauguin’s trip to Tahiti. Gauguin was very interested in painting the church and the cycle of life whilst using pure colors with thick black outlines. A perfect example of this is his painting is called “The Yellow Christ” This painting was designed as to be something new. It isn’t just about the form nor the color instead each are of equal importance.
The design on wood gives these paintings a unique appearance. The Judgment day painting was designed to put strong emphasis on the event by illustrating several moments of the same event. In this painting all the parts are functioning together with an outcome of unity. In the Almighty Savior painting, the design has the gold lines on the edges giving an appearance of a framed picture. It also has an appealing gold design surrounding the image to emphasis the importance of Jesus.
Since the focal point of The Wedding Feast at Cana is Jesus at the center with a glowing halo around his head, this appearance brings our attention back to Him. This is a wonderful place to show that The Mona Lisa’s warmer colors seem to pull more towards the front of this portrait piece while the cooler colors of The Wedding Feast at Cana seem to be further back and there are more people visual. There is a unity to The Wedding Feast at Cana and all of the people, animals, and décor. All of the pieces seem to work in harmony to create union; whereas The Mona Lisa seems to be in more disarray. She has a river in her backdrop which on one side seems to be completely chaotic and on the other side seems to be completely tranquil.
