In Medieval art, figures and the background were disproportional, but thanks to an architect named Filippo Brunelleschi who created a 3D grid that allowed painters to have dimensionality in their paintings while on a 2D surface. In The Tribute Money, the grid is not incorporated quite yet. However, Mosaccio, understands that the building behind the figures should be getting smaller as they move farther back in the painting. Massacio also uses the play of light and shadow called chiaroscuro to give the painting dimension. The fact that the figures have shadows gives them a realistic look, and not just flat on the canvas as the figures in Medieval art. The vanishing point in The Tribute Money, is on Jesus’ head, which is the area on the painting that the viewers eyes are lead to. In Las Meninas, linear perspective along with shadows is used to show three-dimensionality in the paining as well. However, compared to The Tribute Money, Las Meninas’ is much better at making the figures and the background look extremely

    The artist uses negative and positive spaces to create depth and space within the painting. As I stare at the painting, the first thing I notice is how the artist uses light and dark to create balance. Further, above the corpse is a lantern that reflects light more on the right side as it creates shadows on the other side because of its position which gives the painting a more of a chiaroscuro setting. The different shades help the painting become more

  • Angel Arquebus Analysis

    538 Words  | 3 Pages

    There is very little space in this painting, as the background is mostly dark leaving the work with only a depth of two dimensions. In the background, the value of brown gets lighter only at the bottom of the painting, and shows the trace of a shadow indicating there is a faint light on the man. Repetition is only used to create an interesting pattern of clothing for the man. This work is a form of representational art since it presents a subject and objects from reality, which include the man, the gun (or arquebus), and the clothes as well. The presence of a gun (modern weaponry) suggests that this painting was from colonial South America and represents people from a higher status, based on the quality of clothing.

    Two visual artefacts made over a century apart and in very different climates, Gerhaert’s Virgin in the north and Martini’s panel in the south of Europe. Although both visual artefacts differ in type, time and place they share many formal similarities. Simone Martini’s Blessed Agostino Novello and scenes of his Miracles (1), painted around 1320 in Siena, is a sequence of four narrative scenes surrounding a central scene in the form of a triptych with five main picture spaces in three inner rounded-arch frames. Two small roundels fill the space between the arches. The two outside inner frames are slightly smaller in height and width than the central space and are divided horizontally into two separate smaller picture spaces by a thin board.

    Perspective is considered one of the most important aspects of Renaissance art. Artists such as Masaccio, Leonardo Da Vinci and Raphael made the use of this device in many of their work. Thanks to Filippo Brunelleschi, who ‘invented’ and developed this technique called one point linear perspective. The intention of perspective in Renaissance art is to depict reality, reality being the ‘truth’.
