Laura Guley- Renaissance
1. Brunelleschi & Ghiberti / Sacrifice of Isaac Competition Panels (1 video)
1. To create doors for the baptistery. The winner would have their sculptures decorate the doors.
2. Ghiberti was less violent less scary, more complexity emotionally, Abraham was reluctant. Ghiberti used less bronze.

2. The tabletop is too steep, too many perspectives, narrower in the back of the room than in the front, the floor is too slanted, and the figures are too large for the setting.
3. It is Christ, heading right to Mary.
4. Van Eyck / The Arnolfini Portrait (1 video, short reference on National Gallery website) (#68)
1. Italy, in Bruge to take advantage of economic activity. His large hat, her green wedding dress, their nice rug, Arnolfini looking wimpy, and the dog are symbols of
