Despite…

Caravaggio and Caravaggisti in 17th-Century Europe Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was one of the most imitated artists in history. A lot of artists from around the world considered themselves to be his followers. Caravaggio never liked the imitation of his style but he was unable to stop it from happening. Artists like Baglione, Carlo Saraceni, and Guercino imitated his style for only a short period of their careers while others dedicated their lives to imitate him. The quality of his work…

goes back into the distance and the use of parallel projection in shown. Artists mastered the formula of creating intricate and realistic scenes placed in the foreground, while the background retained qualities of vast and infinite space.

and meditate. Whilst there are gatherings such as Five for Friday, every Friday morning throughout Lent, and mass in the chapel every Tuesday morning these events could be used more effectively to enhance the spirituality of Terrace. The use of iconography around the school, for example the Celtic Cross placed in the centre of the school, is a constant reminder to all students and teachers of Terrace’s history with the Christian Brothers and that we are foremost a Catholic school in the Edmund…

Jacks descent into insanity. The sound attribute is very suspenseful throughout the film as well, during the opening scenes, and throughout the movie, very suspenseful music is played which is a typical convention of the horror genre. The films iconography employs props such as an axe, a wave of blood, and Jacks menacing insane face. The narrative structure is also typical for the most part for that the protagonist survives the antagonist. For example, Wendy and her son, Danny, end up escaping…

and warfare. She is sometimes compared to be a wiser and less blood thirsty version of Ares, the god of war. The two glaring features of Ernesto Gazzeri’s statue are the warlike helmet and the flaunting of physical features. Based on the lack of iconography…

It is no different in Copan as we find one of the finest, most intact examples of Early Classic Maya architecture, The Rosalila Temple. This paper will discuss the Rosalila’s iconography and how its preserved architectural expression conveys a complex cosmological message. It sets itself as the heart of Copan and the Cosmos. We will see how this temple not only emphasizes the Sun God, K’innich Ahau but also displays the spiritual…

are executed. In my previous paper on the Primavera I saw how Zirpolo could view the painting in a feminist style. With both of the articles that I am writing about in this articles there is a connection between a series of documents as well as iconography. While it is interesting to see two separate viewpoints, I think it is as interesting to see how two different people compare using the same resources.
