Part of the process for creating art is to think about your audience. If they are creating work for a young audience, they are going to have a more cartoonish and imaginative style. For a middle aged audience perhaps they will create work showing reality in a serious style. The artist would focus more on the past for a very old audience. Allison as a child is very fascinated by the painting of Jesus at her church, but her mother does not have the same connection as Allison.…
In the Middle Ages art was made to support the church and certain things were not accepted by the church. In the Renaissance art was open to the public and new ideas. Also with the church’s power slowly digressing, art had…
In addition, these two pieces of art show a transitional phase in the most extreme ways. Both the movie and the painting show something in the process of changing or moving on from one thing to another. In the Last Supper, it shows Jesus before he moves on to make the ultimate sacrifice; the mood shows it. In the Last…
Leonardo da Vinci of Italy attempted to use oil paint on his painting The Last Supper, and failed compared to the artists in the North, who know not to mix oil with…

In early Renaissance art, artists had a tendency to use the same biblical stories or themes in their artwork. One in particular is the Virgin and Child Enthroned, it was painted by two different artists, thirty years apart from each other. In the year 1280 the first Virgin and Child Enthroned was painted by Cenni Di Pepi, also known as “Cimabue.” (M. Stokstad, 536) The second Virgin and Child Enthroned was painted by Giotto Di Bondone in 1305-1310.…
Bordone does choose to differ the depiction of his painting from Tintoretto, to show a more interesting scene that captures more of the drama associated with it. The painting Bordone creates is dramatic and captures what he believes to be the most important part of the bible story it depicts. This moment being the moment that Mary and Joseph burst into the scene to find their son, who has been missing for three days. In the scene, Bordone captures the emotion any mother searching for her lost young son would have. He paints Mary’s face with an expression of distress, and anxiousness.…
I will be talking about the painting “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci. In this particular painting the artist really doesn’t use the Encaustic method. It looks likes da Vinci use the tempera technique because the painting has a certain glow or transparency to it. The painting looks like it was painted on a stone. Most artist back then use the tempera method on stone.…
The painting shows the last meal shared by Jesus with his disciples, before his capture and death. Leonardo chose to paint the moment when Jesus has said "one of you will betray me", so the painting have name The last supper. Leonardo tells the story of the surprise and upset that this caused to the twelve followers of Jesus. My favorite feeling in this painting, I think this painting has feel of the people in painting.…
Titian adopted his new style in 1511. Some of the ways his style changed were the use of fresco paintings. He was known for creating dramatic and theatrical effects . His use of vivid colors and movement would be another way it changed, because not all of his paintings had that. For example, he use strong, simple colors sometimes, and the artist also use dark forms against a light background, throughout this…
Everyone knows what the last supper was it was one of the most important parts of Jesus’ life. It's where he performed the first mass with the consecrated host and he told his followers of a traitor amongst them. All of these Important thing depicted in one painting in a way that to me, seemed to say it all in the motionless painting by da Vinci. The Last Supper is in my opinion da Vinci's most beautiful painting out of the ones I've seen.…
While the Last Suppers painted by Leonardo and Tintoretto take place at the same time, the use of several composition techniques, most specifically light, place the prophet in different times. Leonardo shows the man before the crucifixion, while Tintoretto paints him as the prophet. The most clear example of how light is used to distinguish the man from the prophet is the halo. In Leonardo's fresco (1495-1498), Jesus and the disciples do not have heads ringed in the gold light that marks a saint. In stark contrast, Tintoretto’s Oil on canvas work (1592-1594) shows the disciples all with halos, and Jesus with one that illuminates the room.…
Throughout the Renaissance, art changed from Byzantine style art, which consisted of icons and symbols, to the expression and mannerism that is seen at the end of the Renaissance (Bleiberg). Following Byzantine art, during 1300-1400, artists attempted to capture nature. In doing so, artists disregarded many rules of classical art. During this time, art was a blend of classical and medieval art styles.…
Europe was steadily gaining prosperity which meant that art of the highest quality was no longer confined to the royal court and a small circle of monasteries (Romanesque Art, 2014, Wikipedia.org). Although Romanesque art held to the Byzantine model of using icons, Gothic artists began using brighter colors, dimensions, and perspective in their pieces. Both art forms stayed true to religious subject matters but artists began testing animals as a subject matter and using light and shadows in their artwork. These changes would begin the paradigm shift into the art styles of the early Renaissance…
Although the durability of The Last Supper is flawed, the techniques used is astounding. Perspective as well as the placement of key figures is shown through the way that Jesus is in the middle and isolated while everyone else splitting into trios. Despite that, all reactions and emotions are unified into the painting while still allowing everyone to be distinctly unique. Alongside these effects is the momentum of the painting and also the weight of every single…
