379 Words2 Pages
These images make it clear, that during the Renaissance, women and men lived different lives compared to now. The rules and circumstances have changed, and every one I think can live more freely. Women aren’t under such strict orders from men and their husbands anymore. Examples of the this can be found in images that show a confinement scene. Giovanni da Milano’s The Birth of the Virgin shows Chojnacki’s The Most Serious Duty. Women coming together in celebration and help after giving birth, shows the human connection and responsibility a mother has. I think it’s interesting to depict each detail an artist gives within a confinement scene. It’s as if the artist was in the room themselves when they decided to paint a picture.
