22 MAGDALEN n DONATELLO n 1454-1455 n 6’2” n BAPTISTRY, FLORENCE

24 RESURRECTION n Piero della Francesca n 1463-1465 n Mural in fresco n 225 x 200 cm n Pinacoteca Comunale, Sansepolcro

25 Perspective and geometry figure both prominently and subtly in all Piero's works. He liked to organize large, plain masses of color in patterns which suggest an underlying geometrical scheme. That gives his paintings the unfinished look which moderns like. There are always large areas of white or near-white in his works, the skies are big, light and sunny, and this pleasing radiance, combined with the absence of meticulous clutter, makes his paintings enormously attractive to our eyes. All this was carefully considered and deliberate We see that Piero was fond of the square format. Here's another example, for this painting is essentially square, being about 10% higher than it is wide.

26 n Stillness: The square format, as we've seen before, gives a mood of overall stillness. This static quality is enhanced by locating Christ exactly on center. Arnheim says that Christ's frontal symmetry makes him look like a statue. Christ is static but the guards appear restless. Their tilted heads are a perfect foil for the riveting head of Christ. n Vertical Zones: The central vertical divides the scene with Winter on left, summer on right. The rebirth of nature is here probably a symbol for rebirth of Christ. n Horizontal Zones: Similarly, the painting is divided into three horizontal bands. Christ occupies the middle band, his head and shoulders reaching into the upper band of sky. His figure unites earth and the heaven. The guards are in the zone below the line marked by Christ's foot.

27 THE FLAGELLATION n Piero della Francesca n 1455 n Oil and tempera on panel n 58.4 x 81.5 cm n Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, Urbino

28 In his finest work, the wonderfully light and sparkling Flagellation in the Ducal Palace, Urbino, Christ and his tormentors have been pushed into the background, while three unrelated figures, who are not even watching the scourging, dominate the scene.Flagellation "No picture could exude a more pronounced air of geometric control and no painting was ever more scrupulously planned."

29 Geometry of The Flagellation The diagonal AE of that square passes through the V, vanishing point of perspective. Further, in square ATVK we see that arc KT from A cuts the diagonal at Christ's head, F, halfway up the painting. Thus Christ's head is at the center of the original square ASED.

30 THE LATE RENAISSANCE

31 Annunciation n Da VinciUffizi Gallery n 1472-147598 x 217 cm

32 Perspective n Da Vinci: Annunciation

33 THE LAST SUPPER n LEONARDO DA VINCI n FLORENTINE n 1495-1498 n 181 X 346 1/2” n MILAN

34 LAST SUPPER-RESTORED

35 First to depict acting as real people Greatest ex. Of one point perspective – all lines to Jesus head Looking across the picture from left to right: Bartholomew, James Minor and Andrew form a group of three. All are aghast, Andrew to the point of holding his hands up in a "stop!" gesture. Judas, Peter and John form the next group of three. Judas, you will note, has his face in shadow and is clutching a small bag (of silver?). Peter is visibly angry and a feminine-looking John seems about to swoon. Christ is the calm in the midst of the storm. Thomas, James Major and Philip are next. Thomas is clearly agitated, James Major stunned and Philip seems to be seeking clarification. Matthew, Thaddeus and Simon comprise the last group of three figures. It appears that, when a situation turns ugly, Simon is the "go to" guy for explanations.

36 Castagno 1445-50 Architecture has a strangely oppressive effect on the figures B/c perspective was devised before diners painted

37 MONA LISA n LEONARDO DA VINCI n FLORENTINE n 1503-1505 n 30 1/4 X 21” n THE LOUVRE, PARIS http://library.thinkquest.org/1 3681/data/link2.htm

38 THE VIRGIN OF THE ROCKS n Leonardo Da Vinci n 1503-1506 n 6 x 4 ft n National Gallery, London The sfumato (haze) creates a sense of peculiar warmth and intimacy-more of a poetic vision

39 THE VIRGIN OF THE ROCKS n Leonardo Da Vinci n 1483-1486 n Oil on panel n 199 x 122 cm n Louvre, Paris

40 n The Da Vinci Code, written by the American novelist Dan Brown, it is claimed the earlier Louvre version contained hidden symbolism which contradicted orthodox Christian belief, The Da Vinci CodeDan Brown – notably the fact that Jesus is shown praying to John rather than the other way round – (the novel implies that the baby at the left must be Jesus rather than John, because he is with the Madonna). – It is also claimed that the Virgin appears to be holding an invisible head and that – Gabriel appears to be "slicing the neck" with his finger. For this reason the painting was rejected by the Church, and a second, more orthodox, version was painted.

72 SISTINE MADONNA n Raphael n 1513 – 1514 n Oil on panel n Dresden Gallery, Dresden, Germany

73 In the Mother's arms is the Divine Child, with those strange, far- away-looking eyes that casual visitors so little understand— eyes that even in babyhood seem reading the future, and beginning to see the greatness of the world's sorrow. Kneeling on one side, below them, is St. Sixtus, the nearest perfect of all pictures of strong and venerable age that was ever painted; on the other side Santa Barbara, only less beautiful than the Virgin, is kneeling, with eyes turned from the glory too bright for mortals to look upon. At the bottom of the canvas are the two cherub faces which for centuries have been ideals of innocence and loveliness. The background is of fleecy clouds, and peering out of the clouds are angel faces. It has been said that Raphael never painted anything exactly as it was, but always idealized whatever he touched.
