In modern times the dove has many meanings, it can represent; the Holy Ghost, peace, and innocence. “There are also different meanings for different colored doves. Christ redeeming man with his blood is symbolized by the red dove. The diversity of the 12 prophets is symbolized by the speckled dove.” (Parsons, 2011) In “Gregory the Great and Three Scribes” the write dove is used to represent the Holy Spirit.

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.

Art History II 4/22/2009 Museum Assignment For the museum assignment I choose to compare and contrast the following two examples of Italian renaissance art.
