William and Mary

This painting got me admiring it which looked artificial where it was godly and that painting is “The Adoration of the Shepherds” by Joachim Antonisz Wtewael. The Painting is located at The Legion of Art under the galleries of countless Renaissance Pieces and Baroque pieces that all have resembling quality that resemble the one I choose. The Piece that I choose is an Oil on Canvas which was created in 1598-1599 from a Dutch Artist Wtewael. The piece got my attention for having a similar style…

has been locked up ever since she has passed. Mary wants to know why no one has taken care of the room and why are there plants being grown inside? The final element I chose is voice and movement. Voice and Movement are drama elements means “the expressive use of the movements of the body and voice to shape the dramatic action” (Dinham, 2011) the actress who played Mary is of an English descent, so she didn’t have to change her accent to portray Mary who is also of English descent. Mary’s…

The Virgin and the Child Reading or Ince Hall Madonna, an oil painting that painted by Jan Van Eyck in 1433. It was a painting near the early renaissance, therefore, this artwork present religious idea, which is about the Catholic’s Madonna. However, gods in religious paintings were starting to be humanized. “Jan van Eyck is credited with originating a style of painting characterized by minutely realistic depictions of surface effects and natural light.” (The Nation Gallery) Van Eyck was a…

The painting, “Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints”, also known as, Colonna Altarpiece, is an Italian renaissance painting completed by Raphael in 1504. The altarpiece is painted on wood with oil and gold and its main panel is 172.4cm by 172.4 cm and depicts a woman sitting in a throne like chair in the middle third of the painting. She is dressed in a red dress covered by a black cloak with white spots, which covers most of her body from her hair to her feet. The folds in her cloak are…

Julian of Norwich, in her Revelations of Divine Love, synthesizes the asceticism which had permeated the Roman Catholic Church from its earliest history with the philosophical advancements made by Saint Thomas Aquinas only one hundred and fifty years before her. She does this seamlessly and almost certainly unintentionally, demonstrating that the philosophical developments of Saint Thomas Aquinas were familiar concepts to her such that they shaped her mystic religious view. Despite the…

Since the background sky has dark, grey clouds, the light is most likely artificial light most likely from the left side of the room. This is because the shadows of Mary and from the feet of the table are both going in a diagonal direction towards the right corner of the room. You can also see the shadows from the heads of the men on the brick wall. This lighting and the aging of the painting creates colors that are duller. The painting is symmetrical because there are three columns on each side…

The CALLING Saint Catherine Laboure and Ricardo Cardinal Vidal have something in common - they were called by God in different circumstances. Their responses were independently distinct, but had concordant results. When the angel of the Lord awoke Sister Catherine that eventual night in 1830 with these words, “Come to the Chapel, the Blessed Virgin is waiting for you.”, she gave a willing response. Afterwards, she encountered the Mother of God in the chapel, seated near the altar. During…

“Annunciation,” considered one of Fra Angelico’s most splendid works of art, was initially painted for the church San Domenico outside of Florence. Currently, the painting is located at Museo Diocesano in Cortona. According to Vasari, this painting could not be created by a mortal hand, and such glorification attributes to the painting a very divine and peculiar touch. Angel Gabriel’s profile is so delicate and devout that it looks like it was directly painted in Paradise. The incredible…

the same leg in both painings. They are also surrounded by many different people in each painting. Duccio made Mary elegant. She is regal and light weight. This Mary feels as if she were royalty that we adore but cannot touch. This Mary does not have depth due to lack of shadowing. She feels flat and wafer thin. Mary turns her body so that her knees are parallel to us. This has Mary taking up a majority of the center of the painting. Duccio…

although they were treated almost like slaves in that location and time period. Also, Joseph, after being very distrusting of Mary’s story of the angel, is easily convinced and gives his all in order to get Mary to Bethlehem. The argument between Joseph, Mary and Zechariah concerning whether or not Mary is telling the truth about the story of the angel is something I am yet to discover in the Biblical text. I believe this was added to the film for simple entertainment as well as clarification…
