Art Historical: The historical context behind my image is the God picture above. Using the intensity of the ranges in the photograph, it makes the image more alive and more eye opening. The art historical used in my picture was to represent God’s imprint on the world. The way his body laid on the cloth showed that his human existence showed a form. An imprint. The outline of a human in the leaves was to show how God created the world in his own image and that his sacrificial love will forever be imprinted in our hearts.
Photograph: The image contains intense dark purples, lighter reds, oranges, and the intensity of the grass is exaggerated. The human like form on the ground creates an emphasis that brings the picture in unison and space around the form works essentially through giving an even weight distribution. In applying the dark shadows along in the leaves, it makes the image more superficial and more lively. The meaning behind this photograph is the representation of the earth and how God was once human. He imprinted himself within in the earth by walking with man in his human form. This exemplifies the aspect of how God has left his mark in this world.
Contextual/formal information, analysis?
ReplyDeletea Renaissance picture using the technique of foreshortening. Dead Christ. By Andrea Mantegna. I think in Milan. What year was it painted? Why? WHat was he trying to say about Jesus? That's what I was looking for.
ReplyDeleteAnd the green grass in your image could be seen to represent hope. ANd the Holy Spirit who renews even as everthing around is dying?
