Iconography

both men were known as “criminals” before their death therefore showing more dramatized dullness and very little architecture as well. There is no background in either painting as stated previously. Caravaggio and Rembrandt both used Christ-like iconography for the corpse. The timing and locations for these two paintings are very different, one being painted in Vatican City, and one in Amsterdam but both seem to have a similar outlook on death. However, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp…

After the sacking of Athens and the destruction from the fighting all across Greece, rebuilding was started and much of the iconography used as decoration in the rebuilding process likely played homage to this conflict. One of the best examples of this is on the metopes of the Parthenon, where experts believe myth was used to represent the victory of the Greeks over the barbarous…

How has Banksy impacted the world as the world’s most renowned vandal? My former art teacher has shown my class some examples of graffiti art to demonstrate stencil art. While the class scrolled through the pictures, we discovered they were by the same artist, Banksy because they all had a strong message in them, most depicting the government and outlying issues at the time. He then proceeded to show us a documentary called Exit through the Gift Shop. Which shows how much Banksy influence the…

Discussion and Findings Given what the surmised literary sources reflect, Moore’s work offering the commentary that it does, what has been established is that his graphic novels do attempt to incorporate some sort of social and cultural cometary into their narratives. That having been firmly established, what has also been highlighted is the commentary offered up by his two seminal work’s Watchmen and V for Vendetta. What is left to be elaborated upon now is their pertinence to audiences, more…

public entrance. As well, the new design of Centre Block also incorporated memorials to Canadians who fought in WW1, such as the Memorial Chamber which contains a record of each soldier’s name.

urban neighbourhood, where he is surrounded by stereotypical 'homeboy' characters. These characters are created by the clever choice of styling, model casting and prop sourcing. LaChapelle has used a lot of stereotypical iconography during this photographic…

Extended Response I Part I. Compare and Contrast the Palace of Zimrilim at Mari with the Temple of Amon at Karnak. Consider materials, plan, decoration, and contents (as far as you know them). These structures obviously served very different purposes. How were their layouts / plans suited to the purposes they served? Please don't quote me or Stokstad & don't cut & paste. Gather the information, consider it, and then write your answer in your own words. Two or three paragraphs is plenty and you…

Any discussion on the relationship between science and sensory art is inevitably conditioned by the specific meanings and associations that each term has come to acquire. During earlier periods in which ‘science’ meant a systematic body of knowledge constructed on rational principles, and ‘art’ referred to an activity requiring the steady acquisition of skill, the fields of science and art were not automatically regarded as the polar opposites that they have tended to become in the modern…

Religion has been tied to art long before our society even had a word for it. Since ancient times art has been used to promote the ideas and beliefs of many different religions to the world. Pictures of half human half animal beings paint the walls of Paleolithic caves the Egyptians hieroglyphics and statues depict their gods and the Greeks built temples and reliefs to worship and tell the stories of their gods the medieval ages were no different. The middle ages brought the rise of the…

Set atop the city of Athens sits an enigmatic piece of Athenian history. The Parthenon has long held one of the most historically perplexing friezes in ancient Greece. Temples were a common form of worship in ancient Greek society and often held many art pieces in honor of the god or goddess that the temple was dedicated to. These artifacts left behind from ancient societies hold key insight into what society was like and what was culturally important in ancient Greece. Joan B. Connelly may hold…
