What is your personal reaction/response to these figures,
and how (if at all) do they apply to your life and past
experiences?
Or
Topic 2:
The great Italian Baroque artist, Caravaggio, did not follow all of the rules of
proper Italian Baroque art. He chose to depict holy events with people as
being rather ordinary, in ordinary settings. Believing that ordinary people
could be called to holy service, he shunned using the obvious religious
figures and bombastic theater in his works. He gives the viewer a dramatic
quietude. The great Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens also worked in the
same time period, but in a different country. His works are more like Italian
Baroque art and its sense of grand theater. Conduct internet research, and
carefully examine and discuss the following images from Caravaggio and
Rubens:
Caravaggio, The Entombment of Christ
Peter Paul Rubens, The Raising of the Cross
In your post, answer the following questions:
What are the similarities and differences between the two
paintings? Consider subject matter, light, backgrounds, and figures.
Where do these paintings reside/where are they located?
