The first scene is a composition of a woman (Mary the Virgin) who seems dead and surrounded by plenty masculine figures (the apostles); sitting next to the virgin a female apostle called (Mary Magdalene).
This piece of excellent art has been made in early 600 by one of the most representative Italian artist (painter) of the era.
Michelangelo Merisi or Amerighi called and know as Caravaggio. Commissioned by a papal criminal lawyer called Laerzio Cherubini, Caravaggio
illustrates is visual thought of 'the Death of the Virgin'.
The particular light and colour in the scene have been identified in many articles and books as a shadow for the way the artist flaunt to use colours in a pushed way to model the volumes of the objects, figures, and clothing. Through this process, the physical presence of the Virgin, struck by a dazzling light. The artist creates the illusion of depth through a series of lighter areas: from the back of Mary Magdalene's neck into the foreground, the eye penetrates further into the painting, passing from Mary's face.
The second paint has been creating by young modern manga Japanese artist Aya Takano born in 1976 and become one of the leads females into Superflat style, also know as a movement for is a way to emphasise dimensionality and figures, which is influenced by Japanese manga and anime.
In her lithograph "Little Stars Of A City Child, 2006", Takano shows us an arresting futuristic work from a leading member of Japan’s neo-pop movement whose influences range from 14th-century Italian religious painting. Takano's illustration of female figures is at once science fiction characters and everyday heroines.
The painters used different ink and technique to represent a similar subject. In the 600 Italy was a religious and autocracy also know as the epoch of Baroque painting, wich is a cultural movement.
