    The artist describes her work with, “The look pulls people in, but as you look closer you can see the image deteriorate, and if you are more privy to Native history you can see it right away” (qtd in Brien). As one examines The Last Thanks, it is evident that Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous painting, The Last Supper, sparked Wendy Red Star’s inspiration for this photograph. It is obvious in the title itself that The Last Thanks is influenced by The Last Supper. Red Star is even positioned similarly as Da Vinci’s portrayal of Jesus Christ. With the obvious comparisons to Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous piece, Red Star’s artwork “successfully forces the viewer to critique colonialism and religion with every examination of the image” (Tesema).…

    The Crucified Christ (1503-04) is a classical example of Italian Renaissance art. The piece illustrates, extremely effectively the Italian desire to make everything in which they paint beautiful, not matter how horrific the subject may be. Christ in this depiction, although, dead does not appear to have progressed into rigor mortis of any degree, Christ also appears to look peace in death in the Raphael painting, unlike in the Grunewald where distress is on Christ’s face is blatant. The way in which Christ is bleeding in Raphael’s piece is depicted with a degree of beauty, the bleeding is not messy, any blood coming from Christ, is delicately dripping into chalices held by angels on either side of Christ. This is a complete contrast with that of Grunewald’s depiction of the crucifixion, where blood is freely flowing down both his arms and legs.…

    Seven wedge-like shapes can be seen surrounding a portrait of Christ, who is displaying his wounds to the viewer, a ring of light encompasses around Christ and radiates out. Within the corners of the canvas are perfectly circular images depicting the “four last things”, Heaven, Hell, the Last Judgement and finally death. When viewed in its entirety the composition is revealed to be the eye of God; giving the viewer the impression that God is ever-watching. The wedge-like shapes demonstrate within them each sin; some which can be easily identified, the iconography being obvious and tame, another indication that this could potentially be an early work of Bosch, as it is a strong contrast to what has become synonymous with Bosch’s work who is widely credited with being the first surrealist with his depictions of bizarre creatures and strange…
