    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.

    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. While the connection to Roman sculpture is clearly visible, harkening the intricate, multi scene figures in examples like the Sarcophagus of Junius Bassus (Stokstad and Cothern, 2013), deeper scrutiny shows a connection to previous cultures and innately expounded upon one another. Resurrection of Roman art, in conjunction with the spread of Christianity, led to religious pilgrimages, where religious relics and elaborate artwork

    Comparative Art Research Analysis One of the most widely sought Christian Art themes during the Renaissance era was that of the Eucharist, or Last Supper, where Jesus Christ is sitting with his twelve disciples before he is crucified. Probably the most widely known painting was that of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper. Da Vinci paints the story of the Last Supper at the moment when Christ reveals to his disciples that one of them will betray him, capturing the emotions and reaction of each disciple, which had not been done before. The moment focuses solely on this event with no other distraction, entrancing the viewer to each of the disciple’s reaction. 75 years later, another painting of the Last Supper is created, but in a very different perspective.

    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.
