Despite the central scene being the crucifixion, Christ is not shown to be suffering. He is nailed to the cross with his eyes open, possibly a way of hinting at his resurrection. There are four panels surrounding the cross with the Virgin Mary and Saint John mourning below and the angels with the personification of the sun and moon above.

Hope Hultgren Art 100 November 7, 2011 Comparison of the Crucifixion In this essay I will compare and contrast two works of art. The first is The Crucifixion, a panel from the Isenheim Altarpiece (Matthias Gruenwald, 1510-15). The second is Crucifixion (Pietro Perugino, C.1485). They are both oil paintings on wood panels, have essentially the same title, were completed in around the same time period, and are about the same subject matter (the crucifixion of Jesus Christ), but they are two totally different works of art. The crucifixion has been portrayed in art a countless amount of times through the centuries, and in a myriad of different ways; with Gruenwald and Perugino’s paintings as just one example of this.
This was important as it taught that the text written by St Gregory was inspired by God. Another work of art that has many Christian symbols is “Lamentation” by Giotto in 1305-1306.

Miracle of the Crib at Greccio and the Lamentation Giotto’s painting shows many similarities of a Christian style painting. One of giotto’s painting was the Miracle of the Crib at Greccio. Many scholars differ whether young Giotto or his followers, in the late 1330, painted the Miracle of the Crib at Greccio. Therefore, many have adopted the neutral designation of the artist as the Saint Francis Master. This masterpiece was from the late 1200s and is in the church of San Francesco, Italy.
Formal Analysis Currently on display at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore the recently restored oil on canvas painting, Scipio Africanus Freeing Massiva hangs in the 18th century gallery. This Baroque painting fills out an entire wall measuring approximately 9 by 16 feet, which excludes the elaborate frame. The famed Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696-1770) completed this work in circa 1721. This painting derives its title from its subject of the Roman general Scipio freeing the Numidian prisoner Massiva as a gesture of goodwill to his uncle Masinissa. This painting completed in the beginning of Tiepolo’s career, typifies his early painterly style with the dramatic use of chiaroscuro and vibrant colors.
In front of each pew on the ground are kneeling benches used throughout the service when the priest instructs them to use it for praying. Standing is the preferred posture of prayer in the Orthodox Church. The congregation kneels only at certain moments, such as the Invocation of the Holy Spirit during the Divine Liturgy.
