Lamentation Over The Dead Christ By Andrea Mantenga

Decent Essays
So I went the artist Andrea Mantenga who painted the lamentation over the dead christ which can be found on the pg 91 of our textbook. The focal point in this picture as we all can see is the dead jesus that is laying down. The artist by making him the largest component in the painting made him the focal point.The photo me is asymmetrical because the dead jesus is taking up most the photo and everything just works around it. the picture foreground is the man lying on the bed. This is because he is what most predominant in the picture.Middle ground would be the lady sitting down, the background would be the chair and bed. This photo is more deep than shallow. This was created by using shadow to create dimension so that it look like it

    As main stream denominations continue to shrink and modern day evangelicalism has morphed into something more politically and conservatively centered, I found “Rescuing Jesus; How People of Color, Women and Queer Christians are Reclaiming Evangelism”, by Deborah Jian Lee, enlightening, profound and hopeful as it centers on new, out of the box ways in which people generally pushed into the margins, are redefining their evangelical Christianity. “Evangelicalism is anything but a monolith; it is a vastly diverse landscape”. Meaning, not all evangelicals are the same and perhaps what we think of them or how we envision them is way off the mark.…

    In Scot McKnight’s The King Jesus Gospel, the questions begged include whether or not Jesus preached the gospel, whether the gospel Paul preached is the same gospel Jesus preached, and whether the gospel we as Christians currently preach are the same, or even close to, the gospel Paul and Jesus preached. McKnight begins the readers’ journey through the gospel by introducing what the gospel actually is. The apostolic gospel is defined as an expansion of 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul “quote[s] tradition” in that he follows what the scriptures laid out as the story of Jesus-a continuation of the story of Israel (47). After establishing the definition of the apostolic gospel, McKnight continues on to investigate the point the Church swayed from preaching the apostolic gospel of the Lord’s inward and outward salvation of the world to preaching a gospel focused on individual salvation.…

    All the figures pictured occupy space and have weight. As the piece moves backward toward where Christ is nailed to the cross, there is a definite recession of space. Van Eyck uses this receding background to denote depth, and it is only further enhanced by the intricately detailed, by tiny buildings in the back, and the atmospheric perspective employed on the even further receding landscape. The distraught bodies of the Mary’s engage the viewer’s interest in the foreground. As one looks at The Crucifixion’s contrasting piece, The Last Judgment, this occupation of natural space is seemingly lost.…
