So, the male figure has his leg in the way, to show the viewer that, there is a boundary between him and her.

There was a customer that had a problem with what Giotto had painted for him. The costumer wanted a shield to be painted with arms, Giotto didn’t like that idea probably even thought of it as joke, he instead drew a sword on the shield, which he thought look more believable.

The material is marble, where the color was perhaps white to light eggshell cream color and some light dirt spots due to inevitable of time. It was hard to tell the color of the statue due to the yellow color ceiling lights pointing directly at the statue.

    Masaccio Vs Fresco

    Another work painted by him in the same Chapel, The Tribute Money, (Fig 5) all the characters have different postures within different scenes. Viewers can very easily tell the storyline by just looking at the fresco. Naturalism is certainly the key for narrative story to Masaccio, and it helps him to transmit the emotional impact immediately with those realistic postures. Especially back then, not too many people read, thus a visual emotional connection is definitely a better option to inform majority of people what is the meaning of those scenes. On the other hand, Masolino’s Temptation of Adam and Eve is set against a dark background, which was well depicted before, but it had disappeared over the years. The two characters are parallel to each other. They almost display the same gesture and pose. Both of them are looking at opposite direction and showing a three-quarter view of the face. The body languages for the characters in both frescos reflect the understanding of nature human body studies. Accounting to Lilian H. Zirpolo, who wrote in The A to Z of Renaissance Art, Masaccio’s figures show his advanced understanding of human anatomy, while Masolino's Adam and Eve is quite simple in poses, even though he had studied anatomy.6 In this case; notwithstanding, Masolino was skilled with painting human figures, his Adam and Eve could be any nude characters, if there are no other symbols in the painting. It doesn’t truly tell…

    The heavily-muscled grave-diggers emerge from murky shadows, the mourners are so much smaller that they seem placed some distance away, the officer directing operations beside the bishop is obscured and only the young man above the saint stands out poignantly in his red cloak. Characteristically, light imitates the action of the sun by falling from the right. The scene takes the viewer back to the age of the Church of the catacombs. Caravaggio was well accustomed to painting multi-figural compositions. His use of monumental figures in the foreground compared to the smaller figures behind them creates the depth that is not obvious otherwise due to the dark background. Although the classical niche he painted in the back wall indicates more depth than there would be otherwise. Best known for religious art, notably renowned for his vivid realism and rejection of his idealization. Caravaggio does this through his manipulation of space, his use of perspective, and his use of chiaroscuro and tenebrism. His figures emerge dramatically from the background. Again we have an action packed drama unfolding before us.…

    Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio) “was an Italian artist active in Rome, Naples, Malta and Sicily between 1593 and 1610. He is commonly placed in the Baroque school, of which he is considered the first great representatives.” He was also one of the many artists that Rubens copied in his times of studying art. “The intense realism or naturalism, for which Caravaggio is now famous, is used in the majority of his paintings. He preferred to paint his subjects as the eye sees them, with all their natural flaws and defects instead of as idealized creations. This allowed a full display of Caravaggio's virtuosic…

    He also painted works that detailed his era. For example, “The Calling of St. Matthew,” the painting depicts men sitting around a table, presumably counting the days take. Jesus happens to walk in, but everything about that painting does not fit the era of when Jesus was around, but more so the era that Caravaggio was living in. His portraits are very realistic and intense. Namely, “Conversion of St. Paul” and “Death of a Virgin.”…

    Rather than being a memoir, this book is a blend between a memoir and fiction. There is no way for us to tell what did and did not happen. Some events that take place seem to be fiction and others appear to be real. There are them some memories that seem to have elements of fiction mixed in. The line between fiction and reality in this book is constantly blurred so that we don’t really know whether or not the events that took place are real or made up. I like this style of writing as it forces you to evaluate the events that are happening and decide for yourself if it could have happened or not.…

    Both artists were working on commissions from the church; consequently they both had religious subject matters. However, where Michelangelo painted religious figures, referencing characters from Greek and Roman mythology, Caravaggio drew people from reality. From criminals and prostitutes to the poor, Caravaggio’s works were confronting, people were not used to locals used as divine figures, and therefore there was “no reference to divine beauty”.…
