The sun beams from the sky are lighting up a small area of the painting and the rest is dark and gloomy. The gloominess of the painting represents dark and depressing times while the brightness of the sky creeps through thick dark clouds. This represents heaven because heaven is so large and bright and amazing that even though life is hard and seems like the world is ending, there is always something greater out there. Personally, I love this painting. I really like how Dore paints that trees and valley dark because it really highlights the beams from the sun.

An Influential Piece Of Art: The Virgin Of Guadalupe

919 Words | 4 Pages

The first piece of artwork I critiqued was the famous Virgin of Guadalupe. The Virgin of Guadalupe is currently exhibited in the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The piece of art is not solely a painting, but an enconchado. It was made into wood, and it essentially creates a reflective surface that appears as moving. Also, I like how they explain their theory on the woman of the apocalypse and how it relates to this piece of art.

Last Judgment Tympanum Analysis

Highly decorative scenes of the damned in agony, the saved ascending to heaven and a simple, yet historic note that reads “Gislebertus hoc fecit” which translates to “Gislebertus made this” (Stokstad and Cothern, 2013), makes the Last Judgment Tympanum at Autun, an important piece of artwork during the Romanesque period.
