Aylin Reta 88729977 ARTH 1306 Christ with the Symbols of the Passion Christ with the Symbols of the Passion is a work by Italian painter Lavinia Fontana, its medium is oil on panel and it was executed on 1576. In this piece we see, what seems to be, Christ after he was brought down from the cross. He is sitting at the center of the piece with multiple angels besides him. The color palette seems dark and obscure as well as the overall mood of the piece. He is surrounded by symbols that are significant to the process of His crucifixion such as the cross, the crown of thorns, a whip, and is also surrounded by three angels. This painting is an accurate representation of Italian Mannerist style, and has all the characteristics that defines it as so. A very important characteristic that helps us define a Mannerist style piece is contextual ambiguity, what makes us feel uncertain of what is going on throughout the entire piece and what the objects scattered mean to …show more content…

Of course, with Mannerism, an unrealistic palette is one of the many characteristics that goes with it. I think that the scene portrayed is quite sad and emotional, and the colors don’t really reflect that but instead steers that emotion away by giving you colors that represent a different emotion. Although the palette is not as off putting as Jacopo Pontormo’s Descent from the Cross, you can still see a similarity on the way Fontana didn’t execute the color selection properly. The blue used for the sky in the background seems a little vibrant along with the rest of colors throughout the piece, besides earth tones. The piece seems to be a bit on the cool tone side, but it is mixed with some warm tones as well, maybe by adding more warmth in to it we would’ve gotten a better tone

  • Comparing Bronzino's Venus In Venus, Folly, And Time

    Mannerism portrays the artists’ efforts to show their efforts in creating the art, whereas the early to late Renaissance artists worked to make their art appear as natural as possible with light and shadows, contrapposto and foreshortening. Mannerist painters, in essence, displayed their “construction”, or layout for viewers to see. The mannerist’s paintings look imbalanced and very complex—visually and ideally. Themes are twisted into unusual forms and shapes, so it seems that mannerist art rebels against the gentle and balanced ambience the Renaissance art depicted. One example of mannerist art is Bronzino’s Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time, ca. 1546.

  • Meeting Of Joachim And Anna Vs. The Annunciation Analysis

    761 Words  | 4 Pages

    The use of the fresco technique when painting, usually produces a matte-like finish once it has dried, a trait that can be noted when analyzing Bondone’s painting, The Meeting of Joachim and Anna. On the other hand, Simone Martini’s painting, The Annunciation, shows the opposite finish of Bondone’s painting, because The Annunciation is considered to be very elegant, and includes a gold background, which enhances its brilliance. This is mainly because The Annunciation was painted in tempera and gold leaf on wooden panels, the opposite of a fresco painting. The use of tempera and gold leaf added immense sophistication and brilliance to Martini’s painting, something that Bondone’s painting was lacking. While Bondone’s painting has a matte finish which can be associated with the Florentine style of art, and Martini’s painting has more of an elegant finish,

  • Simon A Christ Figure Analysis

    518 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although Simon does show traits of a Christ figure, he does not fully live up to the archetype of a Christ figure. To be a Christ figure is someone must show the traits of the Biblical Christ. In the Bible, Christ fed people who could not feed themselves, and Simon fed the littluns ripe fruit, so that they could eat without getting sick. Simon’s role as a failed Christ figure is shown in his violent and ineffective “crucifixion” and “resurrection”, and his failure at getting them to listen and be reassured by what he had to say. One of the reasons Simon is a failed Christ figure, is that he just died, unlike Christ, who died a martyr to save humanity, and was resurrected from the dead.

  • Christian Art Analysis

    For art to be inclusively Christian it contains general themes that are found within other cultures and religions such as loving and caring for others and the importance of trust. The exclusively Christian truth presents truth that comes from the Bible, such as a way of salvation through forgiveness, the pardon of God, or any events from the Bible. Piero della Francesca 's painting, The Resurrection, previously mentioned is considered exclusively Christian art. Good Christian art tells of a story and truth that everyone longs to know because we are all human and “Christianity … assumes meaning in art and life to be attainable” (Kilby 22).

  • The Depiction Of Gift Paintings In Michelangelo's Life

    259 Words  | 2 Pages

    During certain periods of Michelangelo’s life, he adopted the genre of gift drawings, also known as presentation drawings. One can say that he adopted the genre because there is evidence from before the end of the fifteenth century that gift drawings were made by various artists for reasons ranging from diplomatic gestures to intimate expressions of gratitude. Nonetheless, Michelangelo’s gift drawings are distinct. This is the case because his drawings are clearly drawn with deliberate direction, meticulousness, and passion. There are three specific periods during Michelangelo’s life where he conceived and created such drawings: in the 1520s, in the early 1530s, and a brief moment in the 1540s- none of which coincide with periods of leisure.
