Chapter 4

The Visual elements.

 

The painting above on the left is a painting of Mary, John the baptist and Jesus. This painting is called The Madonna of the Meadows by Raphael.
This picture is symbolizing the triangular whole. I like this picture because i could tell what Raphael shows what is important through colors and shades. He makes our eyes go straight to Marys feet, showing how pail it is considered how her skin color is a little darker.

The second picture is a picture of Mary, Saint Anne, Jesus, and John the baptist. This painting is called The Virgin and Saint Anne with the Christ Child and John the Baptist by Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo uses different type of brown in this painting. He makes the faces white to show they are important.

I like these two painting honestly because they both have Christ Jesus in them.
Shows that even back in history people knew who Jesus was. Even though these painting just reminds me of Catholics, and im a Christian. I see that we at least share one thing, Jesus Christ.
These two painters used lighting, shades, and shapes to help our eyes look into the direction needed.
