The Beowulf Diptych Project
Beowulf is an epic poem from the medieval time that depicts the traits of an epic hero and his journey. He demonstrates good and evil throughout his quest. The imagery helps the reader understand the events throughout Beowulf’s battle over evil and his struggle through life. The images reveal the epic tradition as well as Christian themes and Pagan beliefs.
The Beowulf panel shows the traits of an epic hero. Beowulf’s picture demonstrates a warrior taking action to kill Grendel. By incorporating certain colors such as red, black, and blue it helps describe how dark and horrible this specific time was for these people and Beowulf. “Grendel filled nights with horror” helped put the red and black skies in too perspective
