Triptych

achieving fame and glory, whenever the public could link the image of deities to a certain artist. Lastly, it was used in the ornamentation of the urban setting, since these figures were recognized for its aesthetics. It is plausible that through his Triptych, de Beer’s intended to attack this religion, but also to allow the viewer’s eye to dwell on this figure with pleasure. The statues have a double role of aestheticization of the gothic temple and as a temptation to sin. Thus, this painting…

Unfortunately, she had passed before he arrived. Even though he planned to return to Italy, Peter was given the opportunity to become the court painter of the Spanish Netherlands. His first big project in Antwerp was to paint triptych for the church of St. Walburga which he named raising of the cross. This work of art led the way to Peter becoming the best artist of the city. Around this time Rubens began his own studio, with the help of his assistants and pupils, many pieces…

and a healthy dose of cringe-worthy violence and unreliable narrators all conveniently tucked inside a beautifully composed costume drama set in 1930s Korea, where a manipulative con man sets in motion his most complicated ruse to date. Told as a triptych, where three segments are referenced as "books", The Handmaiden gives us Japanese con man Count Fujiwara (Ha Jung-woo). He hires Sook-Hee (Kim Tae-ri), a pickpocket who has learned her tricks from "The Count" from a young age. She is tasked…

Nocturnes, according to a review by Mark DeVoto, “was arguably Debussy’s farthest-reaching forward leap into the future of music”, and are said to “proclaim a new world”. Before reaching final form, the triptych went through several alterations. The composition began in 1898, with the final score complete by the end of 1899. The three nocturnes making up this collection are not your ordinary nocturnes, but are instead impressions. Objects are not described…

J. Friedlander One of the examples presented was the similaritiy of the perspective in this painting to that of others by Christus. But the most compelling reason presented was that the Death of the Virgin was part of a triptych, the Death of the Virgin is the center panel and the paintings depicting St John the Baptist and St Catherine are the wings. These two pieces already considered part of Christus,s overe were destroyed during world war 2, but black and white pictures…

Since the dawn of human existence, nature has been, as poet Emily Dickinson writes in her poem title, "the gentlest mother." The Earth has provided the human race with all of life's necessities, allowing us to prosper as a species, and reach for great heights. However, we repay this nurturing mother by depleting and destroying her, and one day, despite her immense strength, she will no longer be able to tolerate human excess. In the current, consumer driven American culture, value, and purpose…

The Elevation of the Cross was painted by Peter Paul Rubens during the Baroque time period in 1610-1611. The painting itself is fifteen feet in height and twenty-one feet in width (Pritchard). Rubens created the painting using oil paint, specifically oil paint on wood (Pritchard). Prior to the destruction of the church, the Elevation of the Cross was originally located at the Church of St. Walburga in Antwerp (Pritchard). Today, the painting is located at the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp…

started using more color, applying the paint with thick, bold brushstrokes, and painted everyday things that were around him and that he saw. Van Gogh produced fourteen paintings of orchards in less than a month. This piece in particular is apart of a triptych. In the pieces he uses a lighter palette of paint than what he was used to. Van Gogh is known for his pointillism technique but in this work he is using a dashed stroke rather than a point. It was when in Paris, that Van Gogh discovered…

Brown again decides that he will no longer to continue on his errand and rationalizes that just because his teacher was not going to heaven, why should he "quit my dear Faith, and go after her". At this, the Devil tosses Goodman Brown his staff (which will lead him out of his Eden) and leaves him. Goodman Brown begins to think to himself about his situation and his pride in himself begins to build. He "applauds himself greatly, and thinking with how clear a conscience he should meet his…
