It’s very clear to me that there are a lot of people who find this kind of body type attractive or beautiful. I certainly do and that’s why I like to paint them.</span></span></p><p class="" style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This painting took a couple of weeks to complete. My working method is that I will often spend a couple of days sketching out or drawing compositions on anywhere between three to 10 canvases with a crayon to try to get the underdrawing correct and work on the compositions. Sometimes these underdrawings are actually very detailed and I’ll even shade them and make marks on them to give myself a sense of of the direction of the brush marks. One of the things I really like to do is draw and so this satisfies my need to make a study for the painting. I also sometimes make detailed crayon drawings on paper in preparation for these kinds of paintings. The next step is to put down a fairly thick painting on the canvas that I know that I will paint over in later days. This often takes an additional day.</span></p><p class="" style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">After letting the painting dry for several days, often even letting it sit for a week or two, I’ll return to the painting and start by mixing up large batches of thick, gooey, pasty, paint. I don’t like to thin down the paint because I want the textures to mimic the direction of the planes and contours of the skin and muscles of the figures. I like to use thick hog’s hair bristles brushes to make the painting because then you can really see the brushwork. I vary the textures by sometimes using sable brushes and I’ll even use plastering knives and palette knives to continue to sculpt or apply the paint. If you look at the painting up close you’ll see that the skin and the hair have distinctly different textures as does the background. </span></p><p class="" style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This painting also is important to me because it allows me to express my feelings about body positivity and representing people who often are at the very least, not represented by mainstream culture in a positive way, and also not seen as being beautiful. It’s very clear to me that there are a lot of people who find this kind of body type attractive or beautiful. I certainly do and that’s why I like to paint them.<br />Many straight folks are unaware of the bear subculture. Hardly a surprise, since a powerful majority rarely concerns itself with the doings of a marginalized minority. When, three or four years ago, I first mentioned bears to my straight friends, none of them knew what I was talking about, though by now at least one of them calls me “The Bear.” Similarly, my heterosexual students, as expert as they might be on current media, seem equally ignorant about this topic.<br /><br />Most GLBT folks, however, by now seem to know the basics. A “bear” is a hairy, bearded, brawny-to-bulky gay man, usually displaying aspects of traditional masculinity. A cub is a younger version of the same; a wolf is a lean, hairy man; an otter a young version of that. “Woof!” is a lustful expression, meaning essentially: “Tasty! I’d like to climb all over that!” “Grrrrr!” means much the same. As you can see, after twenty-some years of development, the bear community, like any subculture, has its own jargon, sometimes called “bearspeak” or “vocabulary.” It also has its own values, its own style, and its own commodities. There are bear-oriented bars, festivals, music, movies, magazines, and books. There are regional clubs for bears not only in metropolitan centers, where the communities first developed, but also in rural areas.</span></p><p class="" style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Since this is on stretched canvas with 1 ½ inch wide stretcher bars and the canvas is wrapped around the back, you don’t necessarily need to frame this piece. You could just stick a nail in the wall and Hang the piece on the wall. Another way of finishing the painting off and making it fit with your décor would be to paint the edges. If you do choose to frame this painting, please don’t go to a framer since they are very expensive, you could easily buy an open back frame from a website like Dickblick.com or Amazon or Etsy since this is a standard size frame.</span></p>

The guy who played James Bond plays Francis Bacon’s lover. Elements of the film and his biography are quite surreal however, when they first started exhibiting his work at one point he was rejected from exhibit for not being surreal enough.</span><p></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Again, context is everything and Francis Bacon can be linked to other art giants of the 20th century such as Lucian Freud and other Surrealists. The fact that he comes from the upper crust of English society probably did not hurt his career. As an upper-class educated white male (although many biographies insist he didn’t have much education as a child because he was asthmatic) his position in in wealthy English society during the 1930s and 40s Francis Bacon had access to design schools and art history. His formal education, more or less as an interior and furniture designer. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I am sure his education in general probably provided him with enough information that he could in some ways see the art of art history and incorporate ideas from earlier periods into his work later. Probably some of the biggest influences on him were the early surrealist movement of Dada however, it’s clear his knowledge of art history and such figures as Rembrandt as well as Edvard Munch are clearly referenced in his work. So Francis Bacon is clearly the air to a long continuous line of European artists who reference art history and re-appropriate ideas from earlier periods.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEf6e_xvnMBIOPH8fP-kK7oPXTXIwdrn1CccXBiq9UlSur2d2ZaQbF6wzU76h66NEbx76UkPCOcbRlcONF507kgNuBEx0FWJsLt09iqbgg8-cz0EmFmVQTFKgal42-VMH-5WJvQVfbnNG1kcI4wO5aeYr2Bdz7xPiFtCAtpenWzkHereHegp52MK9SLMc/s600/bacon_portrait_of_Pope_innocent_X_1953.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="452" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEf6e_xvnMBIOPH8fP-kK7oPXTXIwdrn1CccXBiq9UlSur2d2ZaQbF6wzU76h66NEbx76UkPCOcbRlcONF507kgNuBEx0FWJsLt09iqbgg8-cz0EmFmVQTFKgal42-VMH-5WJvQVfbnNG1kcI4wO5aeYr2Bdz7xPiFtCAtpenWzkHereHegp52MK9SLMc/w482-h640/bacon_portrait_of_Pope_innocent_X_1953.jpg" width="482" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br />In the same way that some pop musicians’ “sample” earlier works and incorporate things like baselines and themes into new compositions Francis Bacon borrowed from Velasquez, Edward Munch, and Rembrandt.

I learned this in watching a documentary video about him in which he described part of his process. He explains that one day she had run out of canvases and so flipped a canvas to the raw side that was on prime unfinished and he liked how the mark making he made was permanent and indelible and so he decided to continue working on raw canvas.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Today, this is caused a lot of problems for conservators and museums that hold Bacon’s work in their collections. The reason being that oil paint interacts with open weave cotton or linen canvas and has a kind of rotting effect on the canvas that the oil paint is adhered to. That’s one of the reasons why artists gesso or prepare the canvas. It keeps the canvas from rotting or interacting in a way with the oil paint in such a way that the painting will deteriorate over time. Bacon was not afraid to experiment with materials and with ideas.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The color in Francis Bacon’s paintings is probably strongly influenced by Munch’s painting and from other expressionist artists such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. These artists used color often straight from the tube in a nonlocal highly your or saturated way. The colors, and the randomness of the choices being very different from the idea of warm and cool colors used by the Impressionists who often used nonlocal color.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The paint texture of these reverse canvas paintings is often very thin with flight thick paint called impastos in various areas. More important than the color and the paint quality are probably his use of lines and some geometric forms. For example, in his study after Velazquez’s portrait, not only does Bacon smear the paint in vertical long stripes, he also does a similar thing to the face in which he smears the face in vertical stripes. He surrounds the figure with almost cartoonlike motion lines at the base of the figure which gives the overall composition a sense of flaring from the bottom and moving up towards the top in an explosive way. The yellow diagonal and almost horizontal lines surrounding the throne are references to the throne but Francis Bacon also used similar forms and arrows like this in many of his other paintings. Some historians have interpreted this as being taken from his training as a designer.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Francis Bacon is not really interested in traditional things such as the accurate portrayal of anatomy, or shading and value structure. When he uses paint, and the way he uses it, is probably closer to how the German expressionists used paint as a way to portray feelings and or emotions, especially those that are unsettling or violent. The symbols Bacon uses in many of his paintings speak to some of this unease or violence.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Doing an iconographic analysis of Francis Bacon’s paintings, one can see that he is clearly references art historical sources but uses the symbols in a kind of reversal or reinterpretation of them. It is very possible that Bacon is referencing his own sexuality and in particular his proclivity towards rough gay sex that included fairly violent fantasies acted out by his “rough trade” sex partners.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Another strong influence on his iconography and imagery is that he collected some medical journals and was very interested in 19th century scientific photographers such as Eadweard Muybridge. In one documentary Bacon talked extensively about the imagery in some 19th century dental journals that showed mouths being held open by medical instruments. This is directly referenced in the mouths in many of his paintings. In the documentary, Bacon talked about his fascination with these images and that he found the flesh of the open mouths “beautiful” and “sensuous.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The most popular interpretations of Bacon’s series of “Pope” paintings after Velazquez are that they are an expression of the authoritarianism of the Catholic Church and possibly how the Church might view his sexual orientation and proclivities. However, he seems to have never made a definitive statement as to what he intended them to mean. The facts are as follows:</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">He collected art books and medical journals that he used as reference material, he began painting his “Popes” in 1946 and stopped painting them in the in the mid-1960s and even called the series “silly.” Although he is known to own many reproductions of Velazquez’s painting of Pope Innocent, historians often comment on the fact that he did not see the painting when he visited Rome in 1954.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> When you research Bacon’s work many of the scholars who write about and interpret the work often include their own “baggage” of ideas in their interpretations of the work often making connections and leaps to film references and other imagery they assume Bacon would have known. In keeping with the Dada and surrealist notions that their paintings came directly out of their own unconscious and dream state Bacon’s works are perfectly aligned in their mission however, it’s possible that the interpretations of the work were meant to be points of departure for the audience viewing them. Bacon might not have had a conscious intention of what they meant to him and what the symbols meant.</span></p>Kenney Mencherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16685559624262422961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242694017830633974.post-76665836358007895602024-03-12T17:18:00.000-07:002024-03-12T17:18:00.218-07:00Northern Bear, 24x36x1.5 inches oil on stretched canvas by Kenney Mencher<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-SGEFEt3j2E" title="Work in progress" width="853"></iframe>

A big painting holds a wall, makes a statement and there is so much more room for me to experiment with texture, layering, and color.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I made a version of this painting last year and it was 18 by 24 inches. Since that time, the painting has gone viral on Tumblr. It’s been shared almost 1000 times across the platform. In a way social media has allowed me to understand who my “tribe” is and what I can do and what sort of paintings I should make that would please them. This also connects to my desire to make a painting in another format and try other things out. In a way, the smaller older version, is a kind of rehearsal or study for this large painting.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This painting took a couple of weeks to complete. My working method is that I will often spend a couple of days sketching out or drawing compositions on anywhere between three to 10 canvases with a crayon to try to get the underdrawing correct and work on the compositions. Sometimes these underdrawings are actually very detailed and I’ll even shade them and make marks on them to give myself a sense of of the direction of the brush marks. One of the things I really like to do is draw and so this satisfies my need to make a study for the painting. I also sometimes make detailed crayon drawings on paper in preparation for these kinds of paintings. The next step is to put down a fairly thick painting on the canvas that I know that I will paint over in later days. This often takes an additional day.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial;">After letting the painting dry for several days, often even letting it sit for a week or two, I’ll return to the painting and start by mixing up large batches of thick, gooey, pasty, paint. I don’t like to thin down the paint because I want the textures to mimic the direction of the planes and contours of the skin and muscles of the figures. I like to use thick hog’s hair bristles brushes to make the painting because then you can really see the brushwork. I vary the textures by sometimes using sable brushes and I’ll even use plastering knives and palette knives to continue to sculpt or apply the paint. If you look at the painting up close you’ll see that the skin and the hair have distinctly different textures as does the background. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This painting also is important to me because it allows me to express my feelings about body positivity and representing people who often are at the very least, not represented by mainstream culture in a positive way, and also not seen as being beautiful. It’s very clear to me that there are a lot of people who find this kind of body type attractive or beautiful. I certainly do and that’s why I like to paint them.<br /><br />Many straight folks are unaware of the bear subculture. Hardly a surprise, since a powerful majority rarely concerns itself with the doings of a marginalized minority. When, three or four years ago, I first mentioned bears to my straight friends, none of them knew what I was talking about, though by now at least one of them calls me “The Bear.” Similarly, my heterosexual students, as expert as they might be on current media, seem equally ignorant about this topic.<br /><br />Most GLBT folks, however, by now seem to know the basics. A “bear” is a hairy, bearded, brawny-to-bulky gay man, usually displaying aspects of traditional masculinity. A cub is a younger version of the same; a wolf is a lean, hairy man; an otter a young version of that. “Woof!” is a lustful expression, meaning essentially: “Tasty! I’d like to climb all over that!” “Grrrrr!” means much the same. As you can see, after twenty-some years of development, the bear community, like any subculture, has its own jargon, sometimes called “bearspeak” or “vocabulary.” It also has its own values, its own style, and its own commodities. There are bear-oriented bars, festivals, music, movies, magazines, and books. There are regional clubs for bears not only in metropolitan centers, where the communities first developed, but also in rural areas.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); margin: 1rem 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Since this is on stretched canvas with 1 ½ inch wide stretcher bars and the canvas is wrapped around the back, you don’t necessarily need to frame this piece. You could just stick a nail in the wall and Hang the piece on the wall. Another way of finishing the painting off and making it fit with your décor would be to paint the edges. If you do choose to frame this painting, please don’t go to a framer since they are very expensive, you could easily buy an open back frame from a website like Dickblick.com or Amazon or Etsy since this is a standard size frame.</span><span style="font-family: Poppins;"><br /></span></p>Kenney Mencherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16685559624262422961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242694017830633974.post-29495025672261434002024-02-28T18:46:00.000-08:002024-02-28T18:46:00.148-08:00Stroganoff, 18x24 inches oil on canvas panel by Kenney Mencher<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> </span></p>

Another thing that I’ve been incorporating into some of my new work works is a little bit more the use of blues and a fuller spectrum or palette of colors.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM3AvnQ7mehrhg4rRHaN_HKS7LoOupMJRhiLnsuuJa0D4SdorK2o4zMHlvrT8pbZNcnuF5RfP1j8svQukDyhGXQeY26znIewa3PuQoCqleCZT3zodUY-rPpGTAQQ8BvgwKMnqVJhACGnlnJOfYh2ggxYObygKBnBz4Au0MasoKd7OXZ6XximJhfk9NL1g/s3296/Stroganoff,%2018x24%20inches%20oil%20on%20canvas%20panel%20by%20Kenney%20Mencher%20%20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3296" data-original-width="2466" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM3AvnQ7mehrhg4rRHaN_HKS7LoOupMJRhiLnsuuJa0D4SdorK2o4zMHlvrT8pbZNcnuF5RfP1j8svQukDyhGXQeY26znIewa3PuQoCqleCZT3zodUY-rPpGTAQQ8BvgwKMnqVJhACGnlnJOfYh2ggxYObygKBnBz4Au0MasoKd7OXZ6XximJhfk9NL1g/w478-h640/Stroganoff,%2018x24%20inches%20oil%20on%20canvas%20panel%20by%20Kenney%20Mencher%20%20.jpg" width="478" /></a></div></span><br style="background-color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;" /><br style="background-color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;" /><span style="background-color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This painting still has a lot of the main themes that I like to work with such as,older hairier men and the idea of appreciating different body types.

Hardly a surprise, since a powerful majority rarely concerns itself with the doings of a marginalized minority. When, three or four years ago, I first mentioned bears to my straight colleagues in the English Department at Virginia Tech, none of them knew what I was talking about, though by now at least one of them calls me “The Bear.” Similarly, my heterosexual students, as expert as they might be on current media, seem equally ignorant about this topic.<br /><br />Most GLBT folks, however, by now seem to know the basics. A “bear” is a hairy, bearded, brawny-to-bulky gay man, usually displaying aspects of traditional masculinity. A cub is a younger version of the same; a wolf is a lean, hairy man; an otter a young version of that. “Woof!” is a lustful expression, meaning essentially: “Tasty! I’d like to climb all over that!” “Grrrrr!” means much the same. As you can see, after twenty-some years of development, the bear community, like any subculture, has its own jargon, sometimes called “bearspeak” or “vocabulary.” It also has its own values, its own style, and its own commodities. There are bear-oriented bars, festivals, music, movies, magazines, and books. There are regional clubs for bears not only in metropolitan centers, where the communities first developed, but also in rural areas.<br /><br />The paint on this is super thick and it took several days to make the painting. Recently I moved from California, where I had a pretty cramped small studio, to a larger house where I’ve taken the entire basement as my painting studio. This is allowed me to experiment and try out new things that I have never been able to do because I have a lot more space and places for things to dry and services to work on. I can work on paintings over several days or weeks rather than have to rush through them and work on only one painting at a time.<br /><br />This is one of a group of paintings that were worked on over the course of a week or two in a more layered approach. It began more as a rough sketch on the canvas panel that I worked out a little bit more with crayon and worked out the shading and environment using my imagination. Over the next couple of days the painting was developed more.<br /><br />The next couple of days were spent working on an underpainting that began his thin washes of oil paint and ended up with thicker more opaque layers.<br /><br />The finishing day that I worked on this painting I attempted to build up the surface is more and enhance the textures so that the paint textures matched a little bit more closely the physicality or textures of the figures and the environment they are in. Some of the paint is almost 2 to 3 cm thick and applied with plastering knives and thick bristle brushes which I think gives the surface and almost skin like quality.</span></p>Kenney Mencherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16685559624262422961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242694017830633974.post-88310429302451302882024-02-23T18:36:00.000-08:002024-02-23T18:36:00.148-08:00Espresso Machine, 18x18x1.5 inches oil on stretched canvas by Kenney Mencher<p> </p>

When you buy a piece of art from a middle-man website, you're not only paying for the art itself, but also for the costs associated with the sale of the work. This can add up to 35-50% of the total price, which means that the artists sometimes receive half of what you pay to the middle-man. However, when you buy directly from the artist, you not only get a one-on-one experience, but you also save that extra money. It's a win-win situation! </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: border-box;">So, this World Art Day, I encourage you to not only appreciate the art around you but also to support artists by buying directly from them. It's a small gesture that can make a big impact on an artist's life, and you might even discover a new favorite artist along the way!</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="background-attachment: initial;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://www.kenneymencher.com/courses">https://www.kenneymencher.com/courses</a><o:p></o:p></p></td><td></td><td><span style="color: black;">Form: This just over lifesize sculpture of a dying or bound "slave" shows us a powerful naturalistic figure carved in marble. The anatomy is slightly distorted in that the head is a touch too small. The figure's posture is also an exaggerated contrapposto that was referred to as a <i>serpenata </i>referring to the snake like writhing and counter posture of the figure which is characteristic of Michelangelo's work. </span>These are some of the characteristics you can see throughout Michelangelo's works and is a quality that we also see in the artists of the <a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/mannerism.htm">Mannerist</a> movement who follow after him. <span style="color: black;">Charles Baudelaire's poem Beacons provides a description that is both a formal description and an symbolic analysis:</span><br /> <blockquote><i>Michelangelo, a vague plane where one sees</i><br /><i>Hercules mingled with Christ,</i><br /><i>Powerful phantoms which in their twilights</i><br /><i>Tear their shrouds by stretching their fingers;</i></blockquote><p><br /><span style="color: black;">Baudelaire's interpretation is not too far off the mark if you compare this sculpture against this stanza dedicated to Michelangelo. </span></p><p><span style="color: black;">Marylin Stokstad devotes almost six pages of her survey to this giant, and if you've done the readings out of <u>Liaisons</u>, you've probably have an impression of Michelangelo as a moody, tortured and melancholy artist. This sculpture is an excellent work to begin with because it in some ways is the perfect symbol of what Michelangelo strove for and often could not accomplish.</span></p><p><span style="color: black;">Context: This was meant to be part of a greater work that Michelangelo was called from Florence to Rome to create by Pope Julius II in 1505. It was meant to be a monumental work which would have been placed within the nave of the future reconstruction of St. Peter's. It was never completed and Michelangelo was pulled off the project to work on the small chapel of Pope Sixtus called the Sistine Chapel in 1506. Michelangelo fought against this new commission and much of the novel The Agony and the Ecstasy outlines the struggle between the Pope and Michelangelo over these two projects. In short, Michelangelo was the loser in the battle and felt trapped and tormented by the Pope.</span></p><p><span style="color: black;">Iconography: There are various interpretations of this sculpture since it was designed as one of the works that was to be on Julius' tomb. The most apologetic to the Pope is that he freed Italy from ignorance and anarchy and that the sculpture is symbolic of the forthcoming liberation. Another, proposed by Janson, is that the sculptures were part of a series that represented the arts and were now shackled because of the Pope's death, but I like the more contemporary psychological interpretation. This sculpture is probably a representation of Michelangelo's emotions. He felt enslaved to the Pope and to his projects.</span></p><p><span style="color: black;">There is also the possibility that Michelangelo was also tortured by a carnal desire to be with men. This is evidenced in the poems and sonnets he composed for a you beautiful man named Tommasso Calvierri (who did not return his affections) and in the various sensuous male nudes he sculpted over his career. One only needs to compare these images of males to his females to get the idea.</span><br /> </p><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><table><tbody><tr valign="CENTER"><td><center><img height="408" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/michelangelo_self_portrait.jpg" width="259" /><br />Michelangelo, Self Portrait</center></td><td><img border="0" height="500" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/michelangelo_last_judgement_1534_bartholomew.jpg" width="356" /><br />Michelangelo, Detail of the <i>Last Judgment</i>, c1535<br />Sistine Chapel, Rome</td><td>On the left are two images. The top one is a documented self portrait. In this image we can see Michelangelo uses heavy chiaroscuro and a deep penetrating gaze to create an image that is honest but also a bit dramatic. Notice that he includes his shattered nose that you read about in both Vasari and Stone's accounts. <p>One of the skills that most painters needed to develop during the Renaissance period was the ability to paint portraits and accurate likenesses. Often this skill was developed by painting with a the only model that one might have available which is one's self. The humanistic and platonic idea of perfectability also gave rise to self reflection and observation. A portrait then is not just about the immediate appearance but also it is a symbol of the person. In this image we see that the artist is studying himself and also demonstrating his ability to create a strong physical likeness as well a psychological likeness.</p><p>If the likeness is at all accurate one can then relate it to this image of St. Bartholomew from the <i>Last Judgment</i> in the Sistine Chapel which was painted in 1535. More than twenty years after the completion of the Sistine Chapel ceiling (1508-1512).</p><p>The Saint was flayed alive for his troubles and if you look closely at the skin you may see that it looks a bit like Mike.

The posture of the figure and the proportions are also a bit exaggerated because this work was meant to be seen from below. This is one of the characteristics you can see throughout Michelangelo's works and is a quality that we also see in the artists of the <a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/mannerism.htm">Mannerist</a> movement who follow after him.</p><p>Some of the details that show Michelangelo's virtuosity are the fingers that are intertwined with the fabric and hair and the deep undercutting and details of the hair itself. Often Michelangelo will show fingers pressed into hair, fabric or flesh and these materials seem to be responding to the pressure. This what is referred to as an artist's <i>conceit</i> or <i>concetto</i> (italian for conceit) because it is hard to do and shows his skill as an artist.</p><p>The pose is one in which the figures seem to be on the brink of movement, almost as if they are about to rise out of the chairs. This pose can be seen throughout the body of Michelangelo's work and can be directly related to the two classical works with which he would have been very familiar. The <i><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/classic_early_christian_byzantine/late_hellenistic.htm#Laocoon">Laocoon and His Sons</a> </i>group newly excavated in Rome in 1506 and another fragment of sculpture, also in the Vatican collection called the<i> Belvedere torso.</i></p><p>Iconography: The Renaissance understanding of classicism and its <i>kalos</i> is strongly represented in Moses. Michelangelo has unified the head of Greek philosopher, with the body of an athlete to form a Christian Old Testament superman. </p><p>The horns on Moses' head refer to a mistranslation. As many artists, he was misled by the translation of the word keren (plural karnaim), which in Hebrew can mean both “horn” and “ray.”</p><blockquote>Exodus xxxiv. 30, “All the children of Israel saw Moses, and the skin of his face <i>shone,</i>” translated in the Vulgate, “<i>Corn<img align="ABSBOTTOM" border="0" height="15" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/umacr.gif" width="8" />ta esset facies sua.</i>” Rays of light were called horns. Hence in Habakkuk (iii. 4) we read of God, “His brightness was as the light, and He had horns [<i>rays of light</i>] coming out of His hand.” Michel Angelo depicted Moses with horns, following the Vulgate.<p><a href="http://www.bartleby.com/81/11704.html">http://www.bartleby.com/81/11704.html</a></p></blockquote><p><br /> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><blockquote>According to the Brittanica,<blockquote>The Sistine Chapel is the papal chapel in the Vatican Palace that was erected in 1473-81 by the architect Giovanni dei Dolci for Pope Sixtus IV (hence its name). It is famous for its Renaissance frescoes by Michelangelo.<p>The Sistine Chapel is a rectangular brick building with six arched windows on each of the two main (or side) walls and a barrel-vaulted ceiling. The chapel's exterior is drab and unadorned, but its interior walls and ceiling are decorated with frescoes by many Florentine Renaissance masters. The frescoes on the side walls of the chapel were painted from 1481 to 1483. On the north wall are six frescoes depicting events from the life of Christ as painted by Perugino, Pinturicchio, Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandajo, and Cosimo Rosselli. On the south wall are six other frescoes depicting events from the life of Moses by Perugino, Pinturicchio, Botticelli, Domenico and Benedetto Ghirlandajo, Rosselli, Luca Signorelli, and Bartolomeo della Gatta. Above these works, smaller frescoes between the windows depict various popes. For great ceremonial occasions the lowest portions of the side walls were covered with a series of tapestries depicting events from the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. These were designed by Raphael and woven in 1515-19 at Brussels.</p><p>. . .The frescoes on the ceiling, collectively known as the Sistine Ceiling, were commissioned by Pope Julius II in 1508 and were painted by Michelangelo in the years from 1508 to 1512. They depict incidents and personages from the Old Testament. The "Last Judgment" fresco on the west wall was painted by Michelangelo for Pope Paul III in the period from 1534 to 1541. These two gigantic frescoes are among the greatest achievements of Western painting. A 10-year-long cleaning and restoration of the Sistine Ceiling completed in 1989 removed several centuries' accumulation of dirt, smoke, and varnish. Cleaning and restoration of the "Last Judgment" was completed in 1994.</p><p>As the pope's own chapel, the Sistine Chapel is the site of the principal papal ceremonies and is used by the Sacred College of Cardinals for their election of a new pope when there is a vacancy.</p><p> "Sistine Chapel." Britannica 2001 Standard Edition CD-ROM. Copyright © 1994-2001 Britannica.com Inc. December 3, 2002.<br /> </p></blockquote>The Arrangement of the Narrative A semiotic or structuralist analysis<p>The diagram below explains that Michelangelo actually had "program" or design for the creation and flow of the overall narrative associated with the ceiling very similar in nature to the way in which Giotto arranged the <a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_arena_chapel.htm#Semiotic%20Arena">Arena Chapel</a> and <a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/ghiberti.htm">Ghiberti's doors</a>.</p><p>The ceiling is entirely decorated with Old Testament stories, in keeping with the narrative as a typology. Over all the divisions in the ceilings are painted trompe l’oeil frames that create distinctions between each story and allow for the organization of the panels. In order to better understand the overall meaning of the narrative order of these stories, art historians use a the same theory that literary analysts do to study the interrelationship of the stories or narratives. This kind of analysis is called a s<b><i>emiotic or structural analysis.</i></b> By looking at this wall as a whole, and interpreting the relationship of panel image to the others, it is possible to come up with a deeper understanding of the set of frescoes as a whole. In this case the overall meaning of the frescoes relate to the Bible as it might have been interpreted by St. Augustine 354-430. According to the Brittanica, Augustine's, "adaptation of classical thought to Christian teaching created a theological system of great power and lasting influence. His numerous written works, the most important of which are <b><i>Confessions</i></b> and <b><i>City of God</i></b>, shaped the practice of biblical exegesis and helped lay the foundation for much of medieval and modern Christian thought."</p></blockquote><table><tbody><tr valign="TOP"><td><img height="600" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/michelangelo_sistine_general_view_vertical_BW.jpg" width="257" /></td><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="TOP"><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/michelangelo_sistine_general_view_walls_and_ceiling.jpg"><img border="0" height="501" nosave="" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/michelangelo_sistine_general_view_walls_and_ceiling.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, Built 1475-1481 painted by <br />Michelangelo between 1508-12</td><td>St. Augustine, came up with a concept in which he viewed the universe and man's existence as divided in two worlds. One was the City of Man which was temporary and fallible. <p>This is represented by the way in which the ceiling and the chapel's space is divided.</p><p>Across the center of the chapel is a screen (called a <i>rood screen</i>). Marked on the diagram as thick black line. Since the Sistine Chapel was the Pope's private chapel and only he and the clergy are allowed on the side of the screen closest to the altar. This divides the worshippers from the clergy.</p><p>On the clergy's side of the screen all the Old Testament stories deal with Heaven. This is the "City of God" which goes on forever and in which god will provide for the faithful. This is where man was before sin.</p><p>On the other side of the screen is where we are allowed to stand. Notice how it is quite literally the "City of Man." The three episodes depicted on the ceiling which depict sin are where we are allowed to stand.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><table><tbody><tr valign="TOP"><td><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/michelangelo_sistine_general_view_diagram.jpg"><img border="0" height="434" nosave="" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/michelangelo_sistine_general_view_diagram.jpg" width="600" /></a><center>Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, Built 1475-1481 painted by Michelangelo between 1508-12</center></td><td>The center set of images represents scenes from the Old Testament. The main themes are expulsion and sin.

Included in this are the Sibyls (prophets from Ancient Greece) who have established the Classical foundation that all this is built on. This foundation is very similar in content and structure to the <a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/classic_early_christian_byzantine/acropolis_erectheion.htm"><i>caryatids</i> from the Acropolis</a>, the seven virtues and vices from the <a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_arena_chapel.htm#Semiotic%20Arena">Arena Chapel </a>and <a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/ghiberti.htm">Ghiberti's doors</a>. </p><p>All of these elements are further framed by the illusion of classical architecture which surrounds each scene.

After the cleaning of the chapel, many art historians were disturbed by the purity and exaggerated nature of his color. If one looks very closely at the images, Michelangelo sometimes would put pure strokes of color one next to the other so that when the viewer saw it from below the colors would mix because the eye would blend them together. This is called optical mixing. Mosaics also use this quality but and is one of the first instance of its use in painting that we know of. <p>This is one of the central panels from the Sistine Chapel and perhaps one of the most important. The figures are well over life size and they are muscular and idealized. The figure of Adam is posed in a reclining languid attitude with the hand and finger extended towards God's finger.</p><p>The figure of God is surrounded by some kind of veil and contains figures that range in age from infancy to young adulthood. God is depicted in motion as an older bearded male. God's body is draped in a semi transparent veil which allows the viewer to see the overall youthful musculature and detail without revealing the genitals.</p><p>Iconography: The idealized musculature and nudity are references to the classical humanistic tradition within which Michelangelo was working. The concept of kalos is significant in that God is represented as both youthful and beautiful as well as aged and wise as evidenced by his beard. The fact that God is clothed is a "nod" to the more conservative conventions of the day in which it would have been unacceptable to depict God as nude. It could also be a reference to the Platonic concept that God is genderless.</p><p>The fingers of God and Adam do not touch. The juxtaposition (comparison) in Adam's languid almost lazy pose and God's active one is symbolic of the moment just before Adam is brought to life. This is one of the characteristics you can see throughout Michelangelo's works and is a quality that we also see in the artists of the <a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/mannerism.htm">Mannerist</a> movement who follow after him.</p><p>Context: This image, as in many others, especially his Last Judgment were always considered a bit controversial because of the nudity. At times, Michelangelo did take some abuse for his use of nude figures. He was accused of impropriety for them.</p><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><table><tbody><tr><td><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/michelangelo_belvededere_torso_c_450BCE.jpg"><img height="300" nosave="" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/michelangelo_belvededere_torso_c_450BCE.jpg" width="210" /></a><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/michelangelo_sistine_ignudo.jpg"><img height="300" nosave="" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/1300_1700/michelangelo_sistine_ignudo.jpg" width="230" /></a><br />Belvedere Torso<br />c300-50 BCE- probably <br />1C BCE<br />"Apollonius son of <br />Nestor an Athenian"</td><td><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Come and study with me.<o:p></o:p></p>

These ignudi (singular ignudo) all are derived somewhat from the poses of the Laocoon Group and from the Belvedere Torso. In fact, if you look at these ignudi throughout the ceiling, they all seem to be the Belvedere torso with different arms, legs and heads pasted on them.<p>Iconography: The bunches of acorns found close to each figure and scattered throughout the ceiling's decorations are symbols of Pope Julius' family name the della Rovere (oak in Italian). </p><p>Again as in all the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel the concept of kalos is important.

We also know from looking at Michelangelo's Pieta that he was capable of depicting feminine looking women but he made the choice in these figures and others to depict women as extremely strong looking.<br /> <p>Iconography: The appearance of strength is a depiction of symbolic strength.

Muscle guys who are hairy are super desirable, but that’s not the case for fat people or skinny people. There are tribes like bears and otters where it gets fetishized. When you’re supposed to be feminine, you’re not supposed to have body hair. You can only have body hair if you have the masculinity to go with it.”<p></p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">This portrait of was painted in the alla prima method. Alla prima, also called “wet-on-wet” and “direct painting,” is a very popular method of painting in which the artist applies paint to the canvas essentially in one sitting (“alla prima” is an Italian phrase that translates to “at once”). Usually this means that I even do the drawing with a brush in paint but in this instance, I did a quick sketch with a crayon to get the drawing and proportions correct.</p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">Alla prima allows an overall command of the whole picture because everything is being painted ‘all at once’ in the same session. It calls for virtuoso handling of the material – a boldness that can bring out an inspired response.</p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">The main focus of alla prima is edges: soft, blended ones contrasted with those sharply defined. However, being able to control these edges and the way the paint mixes require preparation of colors and a decisive handling of the material.</p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">The composition of this painting is based on a principle called the “rule of thirds” in which the focus or emphasis of the painting is brought off center so it is a bit more interesting. In this painting you’ll see that the smoker’s head is in the upper right quarter of the image rather than dead center. I also thought that the asymmetrical quality of the composition made this painting have a better flow.</p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">I’ve also introduced some non-local colors into this painting. The blues and grays, especially in the hair are colors one wouldn’t expect to find in those areas. This is a technique that the Impressionists used in their paintings quite a bit.</p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">I’ve also attempted to use thick quick calligraphic brushwork to make the textures more engaging and descriptive. I use different textures and brushworks for different areas. I’ve also layered the paint and in some places used plastering knives to skip coat the paint over areas and pencils and the back of the brush to etch in hair like textures. </p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">This is painted on a canvas panel. Why do I paint on canvas panel? Mainly for the durability. Canvas panels are made with a rigid core with canvas glued directly to the rigid base. Unlike stretched canvas, boards warp less and expands and contracts less. It’s sturdier to ship and will endure the heat and cold better so the paint will crack and chip less than a stretched canvas which flexes and changes as in different temperatures and environments.</p></div></div>Kenney Mencherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16685559624262422961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242694017830633974.post-62478691948408426802023-03-27T18:16:00.013-07:002023-03-27T18:16:00.211-07:0013th to 14th C Perspective St Francis Cimabue and Giotto<iframe width="819" height="506" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/goifZ2HY9ps?list=PLeBjwwnmiiAE3maqzWgv2y9eGW_bMNDJS" title="13th to 14th C Perspective St Francis Cimabue and Giotto cc" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

A "Last Judgment" covers the entire west wall. The rest of the chapel is covered with frescoes in three tiers representing scenes from the lives of Saints Joachim and Anna, the life of the Virgin, the Annunciation, and the Life and Passion of Christ, concluding with the Pentecost.

The founder is shown offering a model of the church in the huge "Last Judgment," which covers the whole west wall.</span></p><p><span style="color: black;"><span>"Arena Chapel."

Below these three narrative bands is a fourth containing monochrome personifications of the Virtues and Vices. The chapel was apparently founded in 1303 and consecrated on March 25, 1305. It is known that the frescoes were completed in or before 1309, and they are generally dated c. 1305-06, but even with several assistants it must have taken at least two years to complete so large a cycle.</span><p><span>The frescoes are in relatively good condition, and all that has been said of Giotto's power to render the bare essentials of a setting with a few impressive and simple figures telling the story as dramatically and yet as economically as possible is usually based on the narrative power that is the fundamental characteristic of these frescoes. These dominating figures, simple and severe, similar to those in the Assisi cycle but placed in settings of more formal abstraction and rendered with more grandeur, are the quintessence of his style, and anatomy and perspective were used--or even invented--by him as adjuncts to his narrative gifts. He never attained to the skill that so often, in fact, misled the men of the 15th and 16th centuries. In the Padua frescoes the details are always significant, whereas it is a characteristic of the Assisi cycle that there occurs from time to time a delighted dwelling on details that are not absolutely essential to the story.</span></p><p><span> "Paduan period."

According to Webster's Dictionary, fresco is "the art of painting on freshly spread moist lime plaster with water-based pigments." </span><p><span> <i><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_arena_chapel.htm#fresco">Fresco</a></i> is a term that literally means "fresh." There are two kinds, <i>buon fresco</i> and <i>fresco secco</i>. This painting painting is made by coating a wall with plaster and while the wall is still damp, ground up pigments are mixed with water and lime and painted on the wall. The paint soaks in and literally stains the wall up to a half an inch and becomes permanent. This is called <i><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_arena_chapel.htm#buon%20fresco">buon fresco</a></i> (good fresh). Details with more expensive colors (such as blue made from lapis lazuli) are added with <i>tempera</i> paint (egg yolks and glue) when the fresco is dry. This is called <i><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_arena_chapel.htm#Fresco%20secco">secco fresco</a></i> (dry fresh). </span></p><p><span>This technique was first developed in Rome and you can still see some really good examples of early fresco dating from <a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/classic_early_christian_byzantine/pompeii.htm#Pompeii%20Fresco">79 CE in Pompeii.</a></span></p><p><span>The arrangement of the frescoes in the Arena Chapel actually adds to the frescoes meanings. In order to better understand the frescoes art historians use a the same theory that literary analysts do to study the interrelationship of the stories or narratives. This kind of analysis is called a s<b><i>emiotic or structural analysis.</i></b> By looking at this wall as a whole, and interpreting the relationship of panel image to the others, it is possible to come up with a deeper understanding of the set of frescoes as a whole. </span></p><p><span>For example, the top set of images represents scenes from the life of Joachim, Mary's father. This top set of scenes acts as a kind of thematic framework in which to view the life of Jesus which is set in the central section, beneath these stories, acting almost like a foundation or the <a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/classic_early_christian_byzantine/acropolis_erectheion.htm"><i>caryatids</i> from the Acropolis</a> are the seven virtues and vices.

It resembles a marble relief sculpture. Giotto's genius is also seen in his perspective and visual depth. Light and shadow of the gown she wears resembles the type of gown a Roman woman would wear. Perhaps this is an allusion to Roman art and law. The personification of Justice (as well as Injustice) is slightly larger than the rest of the vices and virtues. </span></p><p><span>Giotto uses <i><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_arena_chapel.htm#chiar.oscu.ro">chiaroscuro</a></i> (the play of light and shadow or shading) to create realism in this work. The drapery is no longer rendered in the cartoonish or awkward manner of earlier paintings and the light source seems consistent across the entire picture plane.</span></p><p><span>Iconography: The pointed domes surrounding her throne resemble the arches of a gothic cathedral. Though wearing a crown that is a symbol of royalty, this religious backdrop would indicate that she is Godly. Some people also believe that this is Mary. The procession of people at the bottom of this image shows people living prosperous lives. They are dancing, tending their animals and conversing amongst themselves. The lesson being subtly portrayed would be that if one lives a moral life, he will enjoy happiness and prosperity.</span></p><p><span>Context: Literacy of the Middle Ages was very low. Only the clergy could read the scriptures. Therefore, the paintings inside the temples during this period were for didactic purposes. They were meant to tell a story. In the Arena Chapel the stories are of Jesus’ parents, His life, and then running around the bottom of the church (at eye level) are the Virtues and Vices so that all could see them. Virtues consisted of: Justice (above) prudence, fortitude, temperance, faith, charity, and hope. </span></p><p><span>by Annette Abbotte</span><br /><span> </span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><table><tbody><tr><td><img height="600" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_injustice_arena.jpg" width="359" /></td><td><span>Form: Marble during this period was very expensive, so to cut down on costs, Giotto painted the virtues and vices in a way that made them look like marble.

Though he sits quite close to the fore of the picture plane, Giotto's use of light, shadow and perspective make this ruler appear to be receding beneath the arches of his throne.</span><p><span>Iconography: The crumbling castle that serves as a backdrop to this ruler’s throne would suggest that he is a tyrant. He rules his kingdom with a sword. There are trees growing up in front of him. They symbolize the idiomatic expression of one not being able to “see the forest for the trees” – not that this is of any value because, with his head tilted away from the viewer, it appears as if he does not wish to see them at all. The procession of people running along the bottom of this painting indicates these people live in a place of unrest - perhaps a civilization in decline. We see them pillaging, stealing and fighting amongst each other. </span></p><p><span>Context: The seven vices are personified on one side of the temple facing the virtues. The vices are: Injustice, desperation, envy, infidelity, wrath, inconstancy and foolishness.</span></p><p><span><b><i>Semiotic or structural analysis:</i></b> The seven vices and virtues are positioned around lowest part of the cathedral.

The picture plane is also organized according to horizontal bands but in this image, unlike its Romanesque predecessor, there is overlapping and some sense of space created. The structure of the composition is still standard according to depictions of a "Last Judgment."</span><p><span>According to the Brittanica,</span></p><blockquote><span>Typically, the figure of Christ appears in the centre of the composition, dominant in size and usually enclosed in a mandorla (an oval, nimbus-like form). At his right and left are the four Evangelists, sometimes represented or accompanied by their animal symbols. To the sides, smaller figures of angels and demons weigh sins of the resurrected dead, who are ranked along the lowest and smallest section of the tympanum, directly above the lintel.</span></blockquote><p><br /><span><b>Iconography: </b>What makes St. Lazare an interesting example of Romanesque architecture and art is the fact that the west portal, which depicts a "sermon in stone," was originally painted. It is exceedingly well organized and stylized. This means that the figures represented in the relief sculpture are non naturalistic, this is akin to what one would see in Byzantine art. The figures relative size is based not on reality, but on their spiritual importance. </span></p><p><span>Jesus, as the central figure is shown impossibly huge the figures around him are depicting judgment, heaven and hell, and good and evil. The organization of the composition is designed so that all of the other figures relate in some way to the central figure of Jesus. Figures who are to the right of Christ are literally on his good side while the figures to his left are not. Likewise there is a hierarchy according to placement in the three bands. The correlation between left and right (good and evil) does not exist in the topmost band. Anything placed in the uppermost register of the composition is "good" or heavenly.</span></p><p><span>According to the Brittanica,</span><br /> </p><blockquote><span>Christianity, further developing the concept of the Last Judgment, teaches that it will occur at the Parousia (the Second Coming, or Second Advent, of Christ in glory), when all men will stand before a judging God. In early Christian art the scene is one of Christ the judge, the resurrection of the dead, the weighing of souls, the separation of the saved and the damned, and representations of paradise and hell. Romanesque artists produced a more terrible vision of the Last Judgment: Christ is shown as a stern judge, sometimes carrying a sword and surrounded by the four mystical beasts--eagle, lion, ox, and winged man--of the apocalypse; the contrast between paradise and hell is between the awesome and the ferocious. In the gentler, more humanistic art of the Gothic period, a beautiful Christ is shown as the Redeemer, his right side undraped to reveal the wound of the lance, and both wounded hands raised high in a gesture that emphasizes his sacrifice. He is surrounded by the instruments of his Passion--cross, nails, lance, and crown of thorns. The intercessors are restored, and the scene of the Judgment is treated with optimism. In the 16th century, Michelangelo produced a radically different version of the Last Judgment in his fresco in the Sistine Chapel in Rome (1533-41): a vengeful Christ, nude like a pagan god, gestures menacingly toward the damned.</span></blockquote><blockquote> </blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br /> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><img height="600" nosave="" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_last_judgement_general_detail_scrovegni.jpg" width="441" /></td><td><span>The iconography of this "Last Judgment" does change a bit also by the inclusion of the patron of the image just to the left of center (Christ's right.) The inclusion of a patron or donor to the chapel actually is very significant, it tells us that there is a new class of people on the scene and that they consider themselves important. It also indicates some ideas concerning the sale of indulgences and usury that are later on considered suspicious during the 1500's. See professor Farber's page for a more complete discussion.

Farber's Lecture on the Arena Chapel</a></span></span></span><br /> <blockquote><span>Below the cross, on the left, is the dedicatory scene, in which Enrico Scrovegni kneels before the Virgin and two saints, offering a model of the Arena Chapel upheld by an Augustinian friar. The portrait of Scrovegni, who is shown in sharp profile, is a faithful representation of the youthful features of the same man shown in old age on his marble tomb in the same chapel. His clothing and hair style reflect the fashions of the day, and provide valuable information on contemporary costume. The figure of Scrovegni is on the same scale as the sacred figures he is addressing - it was evidently enough to show him kneeling before these figures to indicate his 'inferior' status. </span><p><span>The model of the chapel presented by Scrovegni differs in a few details from the real chapel, a fact which suggests that the Last Judgment may have been painted before the exterior of the chapel was completed. This is a strong possibility since the most pictorially advanced parts of the cycle, i.e. those most similar to Giotto's later works, appear on the wall opposite the Last Judgment, above and on each side of the chancel arch. The warm, rich coloures of the angels surrounding God, and of the figures of Gabriel and Mary are related to the fresco decorations in the Magdalen Chapel in the Lower Church at Assisi, which are the closest to the Paduan frescoes of all of Giotto's surviving cycles.</span></p><p><span><a href="http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/tours/giotto/lastjudg.html">http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/tours/giotto/lastjudg.html</a></span></p></blockquote><p><br /><span><b>Context: </b>According to Professor Farber,</span></p><blockquote><span>In 1300, the wealthy Paduan merchant Enrico Scrovegni bought a piece of land on the site of a former Roman arena. Included in the palace that he built on the site was a chapel dedicated to the Virgin of the Annunciation, Santa Maria Annunziata, and the Virgin of Charity, Santa Maria del Carità. Enrico is shown in the fresco of the <a href="http://employees.oneonta.edu/farberas/arth/Images/ARTH213images/ArenaChapel/LastJudgement/LastJudgment.jpg">Last Judgment</a> presenting a model of the chapel to the Virgin:</span><p><span>The family wealth had been amassed by Enrico's father, Reginaldo, whom Dante singled out as the arch usurer in his <i>Inferno. </i>Usury, the lending of money for profit, was considered a sin during the Middle Ages. It is likely that Enrico constructed the chapel as a means to expiate the father's sin. The dedication of the Chapel to the Virgin of Charity, referred to in a <a href="http://employees.oneonta.edu/farberas/arth/Arth213/ArenaChapel_documents.html#anchor810715">document of March of 1304 </a>in which Pope Benedict XI granted indulgences to those who visited "Santa Maria del Carità de Arena," was an obvious choice to disassociate the family from taint of greed and miserliness.</span></p></blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br /> </p><table><tbody><tr valign="top"><td><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_last_judgement_general_detail_hell_small.jpg"><img height="383" nosave="" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_last_judgement_general_detail_hell_small.jpg" width="300" /></a><br /><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_last_judgement_general_detail_priest.jpg"><img border="0" height="377" nosave="" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_last_judgement_general_detail_priest.jpg" width="300" /></a><a name="Bishop in hell"></a></td><td><span>Form: This is a detail of the lower right hand corner (to Christ's left) of the <i>Last Judgment</i>.

Almost all these figures can be attributed to Giotto's assistants, though here, too, the guiding hand of the master can be perceived in the rich play of imagination which characterizes the whole, and in the execution of certain parts, which suggest his direct intervention. This is true of the wonderfully immediate episode that takes place on the brink of hell, below the cross, where two devils conduct a struggling man back to the damned, tugging him by his clothes, which are being pulled over his head to reveal his disproportionate genitals. </span><p><span>(It seems these two sites copied from each other, I'm not sure which is the original source so here's links to both.)</span><br /><span><a href="http://gallery.euroweb.hu/html/g/giotto/padova/4lastjud/lastj_d4.html">http://gallery.euroweb.hu/html/g/giotto/padova/4lastjud/lastj_d4.html</a></span><br /><span><a href="http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/tours/giotto/lastjudg.html">http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/tours/giotto/lastjudg.html</a></span></p></blockquote><p><br /><span>According to Dr. Farber, In hell . . . </span></p><blockquote><span>the theme of usury is also developed in the adjacent image of Christ expelling the merchants from the Temple and the detail of usurers hanging from the their money bags in the Hell scene included in the Last Judgment:</span></blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table><p><span>Giotto's walls and paintings are done in fresco, According to the Brittanica,</span><br /> </p><blockquote><blockquote><span>Fresco is a method of painting water-based pigments on freshly applied plaster, usually on wall surfaces. The colours, which are made by grinding dry-powder pigments in pure water, dry and set with the plaster to become a permanent part of the wall. Fresco painting is ideal for making murals because it lends itself to a monumental style, is durable, and has a matte surface.</span><p><span>Buon', or "true," fresco is the most durable technique and consists of the following process. Three successive coats of specially prepared plaster, sand, and sometimes marble dust are troweled onto a wall. Each of the first two rough coats is applied and then allowed to set (dry and harden). In the meantime, the artist, who has made a full-scale cartoon (preparatory drawing) of the image that he intends to paint, transfers the outlines of the design onto the wall from a tracing made of the cartoon. The final, smooth coat (intonaco) of plaster is then troweled onto as much of the wall as can be painted in one session. The boundaries of this area are confined carefully along contour lines, so that the edges, or joints, of each successive section of fresh plastering are imperceptible. The tracing is then held against the fresh intonaco and lined up carefully with the adjacent sections of painted wall, and its pertinent contours and interior lines are traced onto the fresh plaster; this faint but accurate drawing serves as a guide for painting the image in colour.</span></p><p><span>A correctly prepared intonaco will hold its moisture for many hours. When the painter dilutes his colours with water and applies them with brushstrokes to the plaster, the colours are imbibed into the surface, and as the wall dries and sets, the pigment particles become bound or cemented along with the lime and sand particles. This gives the colours great permanence and resistance to aging, since they are an integral part of the wall surface, rather than a superimposed layer of paint on it. The medium of fresco makes great demands on a painter's technical skill, since he must work fast (while the plaster is wet) but cannot correct mistakes by overpainting; this must be done on a fresh coat of plaster or by using the secco method.</span></p><p><span>Secco ("dry") fresco is a somewhat superficial process that dispenses with the complex preparation of the wall with wet plaster. Instead, dry, finished walls are soaked with limewater and painted while wet. The colours do not penetrate into the plaster but form a surface film, like any other paint. Secco has always held an inferior position to true fresco, but it is useful for retouching the latter.</span></p><p><span>The origins of fresco painting are unknown, but it was used as early as the Minoan civilization (at Knossos on Crete) and by the ancient Romans (at Pompeii). The Italian Renaissance was the great period of fresco painting, as seen in the works of Cimabue, Giotto, Masaccio, Fra Angelico, Correggio, and many other painters from the late 13th to the mid-16th century. Michelangelo's paintings in the Sistine Chapel and Raphael's Stanza murals in the Vatican are the most famous of all frescoes. By the mid-16th century, however, the use of fresco had largely been supplanted by oil painting. The technique was briefly revived by Diego Rivera and other Mexican Muralists in the first half of the 20th century.</span></p></blockquote></blockquote><table><tbody><tr align="left" valign="top"><td><a name="Christ Entering Jerusalem"></a><br /><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_christ_entering_jerusalem_1305_big.jpg"><img height="292" nosave="" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/giotto_christ_entering_jerusalem_1305_big.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><i><span>Christ Entering Jerusalem</span></i><p><img height="600" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/duccio_maesta_christ_entering_jerusalem_1309_medium.jpg" width="334" /><br /><span><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/duccio.htm#Christ%20Entering%20Jerusalem">Duccio di Buoninsegna,<i> (Maestà)</i></a></span><br /><span><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/duccio.htm#Christ%20Entering%20Jerusalem">detail <i>Christ Entering Jerusalem</i></a></span><br /><span><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/duccio.htm#Christ%20Entering%20Jerusalem">(Maestà, reverse of the top panel called "<i>verso</i>")</a></span><br /><span><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/duccio.htm#Christ%20Entering%20Jerusalem">1308-11Tempera on wood</a></span><br /><span><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/gothic_to_early_renaissance/duccio.htm#Christ%20Entering%20Jerusalem">Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, Siena</a></span></p></td><td><span>Form: Giotto is known for his ability to create a rational sense of space, even though he hasn't really formulated or learned the laws of perspective as they are known by 1400.</span><p><span>He does use vertical perspective to create space initially.

Because of its placement at a pivotal time and its subject matter, which is St. Francis of Assisi, in both sets the standards as well as represents the changes that occur both physically in terms of how things look and changes in thought during that period.<br /><br />The physical qualities of altar painting from before 1300 or so in Europe are heavily influenced by a style that was developed in what we call the Byzantine Empire starting as early as the fourth century, especially in Greece and the region we know today as Turkey. There are many physical and visual characteristics that this altarpiece represents.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihLGN7qNu9mH6OUc4VZ_iOON54rb_p6Lu6LePU9Cbdiec-xz3fGmOTh1Hszi-0BTLpDoB1KP3WmG_Nrl3jaEJVqUwaIXJpVVrbOsiVefftUfSmJ25qAW0xq684hQP_TEU1mfbNUFqqM_w/s1600/800px-Bonaventura_Berlinghieri_Francesco.jpg" style="clear: right; color: #888888; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihLGN7qNu9mH6OUc4VZ_iOON54rb_p6Lu6LePU9Cbdiec-xz3fGmOTh1Hszi-0BTLpDoB1KP3WmG_Nrl3jaEJVqUwaIXJpVVrbOsiVefftUfSmJ25qAW0xq684hQP_TEU1mfbNUFqqM_w/s640/800px-Bonaventura_Berlinghieri_Francesco.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="484" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">This altarpiece was probably made on a piece of recycled what or panel.

It’s a little bit taller than 5 feet and so the central figure, which represent St. Francis, is life-size for the time. The composition could be described as bilaterally symmetrical. Which means that the figures St. Francis is flanked by an equal number of scenes or images on either side of him making the overall image appear even or symmetrical. Furthermore, the composition is subdivided on either side of Francis with three smaller scenes in which he appears over and over again.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-size: 14.52px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvqpzDEgPb9gfOXGeFRIo51hRHdA9Eu2_LgYML5T__KXLSy5tWusMxRsZV93A_6kQEyP2fr2eai4KMb6Lt5_YMv03go6toSytb0cK6FBLtnU38E3FP0sOXRo2TAfrB07EBuNEHre3Yq30/s1600/Screenshot+%25288%2529.png" style="clear: left; color: #888888; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvqpzDEgPb9gfOXGeFRIo51hRHdA9Eu2_LgYML5T__KXLSy5tWusMxRsZV93A_6kQEyP2fr2eai4KMb6Lt5_YMv03go6toSytb0cK6FBLtnU38E3FP0sOXRo2TAfrB07EBuNEHre3Yq30/s400/Screenshot+%25288%2529.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">The way in which Francis and the scenes are painted is not very realistic or illusionistic.

The proportions of the figure are slightly elongated, and the proportions of the face are also stylized or incorrect according to today’s standards of realism.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-size: 14.52px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwPc9_B7QRVJ59W3FKL-U4tJxcx8ckZ1j-4QM7YrG6cp8Wk0i_JyLr-GBIXu1Fe_EZetw2kyLUwEVQNUFzQk4dwT1kL8lLD4VQIN-wIGM7PaQ574mQnxI1nyAsJzNFsSx-1FyBksb7u4/s1600/Screenshot+%25289%2529.png" style="clear: right; color: #888888; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwPc9_B7QRVJ59W3FKL-U4tJxcx8ckZ1j-4QM7YrG6cp8Wk0i_JyLr-GBIXu1Fe_EZetw2kyLUwEVQNUFzQk4dwT1kL8lLD4VQIN-wIGM7PaQ574mQnxI1nyAsJzNFsSx-1FyBksb7u4/s320/Screenshot+%25289%2529.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="270" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn7kRkgCRj_y__14huQ8JuT6IFw4lfHOVBxWC7n8kDgrcowCD6485mcC8ZXmjT8gbyLG5Ar1UQGDqeRMN2egd3-WJ0I3epci4K-u95aQN60uD-rFqebvBtOco21TczqTqcdeiwZ_hLw8E/s1600/Screenshot+%252810%2529.png" style="background-color: white; clear: right; color: #888888; float: right; font-size: 14.52px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn7kRkgCRj_y__14huQ8JuT6IFw4lfHOVBxWC7n8kDgrcowCD6485mcC8ZXmjT8gbyLG5Ar1UQGDqeRMN2egd3-WJ0I3epci4K-u95aQN60uD-rFqebvBtOco21TczqTqcdeiwZ_hLw8E/s320/Screenshot+%252810%2529.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="242" /></span></a><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /><br />The proportions of the face for all the figures, adheres to a type of style, or visual convention, that comes from the Byzantine style. Sometimes this is referred to as “maniera greca.” Roughly translated as “the Greek manner,” the proportions of the face in the maniera greca style are that the eyes are located a little too far up in the fore head, the nose is a little too long and ends too far down the face, and the mouth is located a little too far towards the bottom of the chin.<br /><br />The scenes are not very realistic in terms of the illusion of space. The buildings and the figures sizes are not in proportion to one another. There is no illusion of space, there is no background behind the figures that would contain things like a horizon line, clouds, or a change in scale as things move further back. Today, we are used to something called linear perspective. This makes all of the parallel lines and straight lines on buildings makes sense to us, however, linear perspective was not used until 1400 and that’s why these buildings look odd. It is almost as if all of the figures are standing up against the front of the picture in a single line and the buildings, the small hill in one of the scenes, are not the right sizes when compared to the figures.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-size: 14.52px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8FFagu2peVXAb9aXzIcHknZhb4V4n7B04aS0X3wqg9xBvojZFKZ_6H8y-0lCbg9eaxyYcdRO5WCldd6P29qWLN2q91Iy5AxVOOfD9FcSY54D4jGZ267oy-yaSQC50ZTIAqjAE-E_XyKc/s1600/diagram_different_perspectives.jpg" style="color: #888888; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8FFagu2peVXAb9aXzIcHknZhb4V4n7B04aS0X3wqg9xBvojZFKZ_6H8y-0lCbg9eaxyYcdRO5WCldd6P29qWLN2q91Iy5AxVOOfD9FcSY54D4jGZ267oy-yaSQC50ZTIAqjAE-E_XyKc/s640/diagram_different_perspectives.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br style="background-color: white;" /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-size: 14.52px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDWp4sPkwdxd7MQf0MlIge7EyUI1HiZzEeGTgmcESFvK6H8VjCrNRL7jMuA5Vw3b3Lp-4uN2pCJuEfjaT3heWu455QplVlQp9rATRo8I_fT06BbIAyv-q2w1-tZBOjxPka7CtED_EeSsM/s1600/0081329003473236.jpg" style="clear: left; color: #888888; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDWp4sPkwdxd7MQf0MlIge7EyUI1HiZzEeGTgmcESFvK6H8VjCrNRL7jMuA5Vw3b3Lp-4uN2pCJuEfjaT3heWu455QplVlQp9rATRo8I_fT06BbIAyv-q2w1-tZBOjxPka7CtED_EeSsM/s400/0081329003473236.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="382" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">There is also no light and shadow, or shading, that describe the figures for the buildings in a realistic way.

When Christianity, and specifically Catholicism, began to be organized and codified in the fourth century, eventually there was a controversy concerning the use of images because of the second commandment which states that, one should not worship idols or may graven images. Basically, what this means is that, Catholics believed that it was essentially wrong to make images of religious figures because of the idea that they might be worshiped as idols. This is referred to as the iconoclastic controversy. Eventually it was decided that the creation of “icons” and religious art was acceptable because it allowed people to learn from the imagery.<br /><br />As the Roman Catholic Church became more powerful, and there was a call or a demand for religious imagery, a kind of cartoon style, the maniera greca, was chosen because it was not illusionistic and therefore not like the Greeks and Romans “pagan” style of art. Probably, also because it could be mistaken for something real.<br /><br />The creation of religious art and religious icons such as this altarpiece, was then seen as a way of educating people about religion, and the religious figures one was supposed to emulate. By the time of St. Francis of Assisi, some social and economic changes began to occur. St. Francis represents many of these changes in the viewpoints of Catholics at this time and so this painting of him and the scenes of his life represent many of the concepts that the common important during the Renaissance.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-size: 14.52px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGXcoHkOL40hitdfrgOzmNhl5bco6CJWw2qmYA40yyX-AWdMKIRyc5rfmOwQTBhItkR2TIfL2jNK7RPgar3cFtriHl00787uVQNvnAlr_rU0zfjUQrecdR8_pGbJX5J8OXbsM-ghYfsjE/s1600/Screenshot+%25281%2529.png" style="color: #888888; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGXcoHkOL40hitdfrgOzmNhl5bco6CJWw2qmYA40yyX-AWdMKIRyc5rfmOwQTBhItkR2TIfL2jNK7RPgar3cFtriHl00787uVQNvnAlr_rU0zfjUQrecdR8_pGbJX5J8OXbsM-ghYfsjE/s640/Screenshot+%25281%2529.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">For example, St. Francis to stands in the center of the painting, was important reformer of the Catholic Church. He is represented here with a haircut that’s called a monks tonsure. This style of cutting a religious person’s hair was meant as a way to make them humble because it was considered to be a less attractive hairstyle than a full head of hair. In this way it would humble people involved in the church, by making priests and monks less attractive. Part of this is probably because priests and monks at this time were supposed to be celibate.<br /><br />St. Francis also holds a book which is very similar to the “book of the world” or “libris mundi” that is depicted in many representations of Jesus from the Byzantine Empire. He also has wounds on his hands and feet, called the “stigmata,” which were bestowed upon him by God in honor of his religious sacrifice and integrity. People who received the stigmata were thought to be blessed by God because the wounds were in emulation of the ones that Christ received on the cross.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-size: 14.52px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV6og0ZQCoZ6WjBqdx7AlB4nF1mnlIl71x9C6Q_YhiDf7TeQvawNoeo4fhyphenhyphen9sV4qckIttN4nxKQpSE7uoVJnIkNNHz9Yv_gmSDlDmU6mgrtVRztUDjeVnX_mOVo52OoE6b5dYinjXhZ68/s1600/800px-Bonaventura_Berlinghieri_Francesco.jpg" style="clear: left; color: #888888; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV6og0ZQCoZ6WjBqdx7AlB4nF1mnlIl71x9C6Q_YhiDf7TeQvawNoeo4fhyphenhyphen9sV4qckIttN4nxKQpSE7uoVJnIkNNHz9Yv_gmSDlDmU6mgrtVRztUDjeVnX_mOVo52OoE6b5dYinjXhZ68/s640/800px-Bonaventura_Berlinghieri_Francesco.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="484" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br />Francis is represented wearing a simple robe, barefoot, and a Baroque belt with three knots in it. This clothing represents the main ideas behind the order of Catholicism called the Franciscan order he began. The main tenets or concepts are poverty, chastity, and obedience. Francis is not wearing expensive clothing and this is part of the value system he believed in.<br /><br />The life and times of St. Francis are depicted almost as if they are a comic book on his right and left hand sides. The various scenes represent important episodes in which Francis acted in a way that led him to a kind of spiritual enlightenment.<br /><br />Here’s a summary of the main events that led to Francis becoming a monk. Francis was born into a fairly wealthy family when she left to go fight a crusade against heretics and infidels. At one point he was taken hostage or prisoner and while imprisoned he had visions and visitations by spiritual entities that instructed him that he should “rebuild God’s house.”<br /><br />After Francis was freed, as he was returning home Francis gave away his cloak and other worldly possessions. He then proceeded to give away many of his father’s possessions all in emulation of the charity and non-materialism that Jesus espoused in the New Testament.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-size: 14.52px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEB4-nJMsMNct-LIV8Gc82Lny7uZUZbJI6lAA4iwL8FDyvPTaSohGG6-7My0fGSDxN81RHIBKveC-C6kgkTeNzDXUzGGvSAQAOq9rUo3322_P41JZ46blQ7dcszTrarm9nN63Q1aInPKY/s1600/0081329003473236.jpg" style="color: #888888; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEB4-nJMsMNct-LIV8Gc82Lny7uZUZbJI6lAA4iwL8FDyvPTaSohGG6-7My0fGSDxN81RHIBKveC-C6kgkTeNzDXUzGGvSAQAOq9rUo3322_P41JZ46blQ7dcszTrarm9nN63Q1aInPKY/s640/0081329003473236.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="613" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">After he did this, Francis was given the right to start a new type of “order” in the Catholic Church now called the Franciscan Order. The main concepts being, poverty chastity and obedience but more importantly a life given to acting or emulating Jesus Christ when he was on the earth. There are other stories after she becomes a monk in which he receives the stigmata from a type of angelic creature called the seraphim. We see this in the upper left-hand corner of the altarpiece. There are also other scenes of Francis is good works circulating around him one of most notable is his sermon to the animals in the garden in which she expressed the idea that while animals may not have a soul like humans have they are part of God’s creation and should be honored and should be aware of God.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-size: 14.52px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf2TtrVkLXzuZAeWkshP9M_eu2mSm6AyyjzeMpKqqf7SK-E1skJM0ktMt214mRBfv-Bkbn5fM68o-6SkrxU4__nnmJGuBHW5HCvk0Ny_TpIP45XwTh2_RLTNg0nWZKTX2e3OablNIsD6k/s1600/0071329003349795.jpg" style="color: #888888; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf2TtrVkLXzuZAeWkshP9M_eu2mSm6AyyjzeMpKqqf7SK-E1skJM0ktMt214mRBfv-Bkbn5fM68o-6SkrxU4__nnmJGuBHW5HCvk0Ny_TpIP45XwTh2_RLTNg0nWZKTX2e3OablNIsD6k/s640/0071329003349795.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="508" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br />The take away from all this, and why this altarpiece and St. Francis are particularly important is that this altarpiece represents a fusion of some of the traditional imagery and art styles from earlier periods with some new radical ideas concerning religious reform that Francis brought about. The most important being that Francis advocated that all people should live and behave in such a way that they are copying or living life in the way that Jesus would.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br style="background-color: white;" /><div style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.52px;"><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">Come and study with me.</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">For all the videos in order with study guides please visit,</div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><a href="https://www.kenneymencher.com/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.kenneymencher.com/</a></div><div><br /></div></div></div>Kenney Mencherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16685559624262422961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242694017830633974.post-21560247727467810312023-03-25T19:14:00.014-07:002023-03-25T19:14:00.251-07:00Introspective Inspector, 16x20 inches oil on canvas panel by Kenney Mencher<p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: acumin-pro; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.kenneymencher.com/shop/p/handlebar-mustache-bare-chested-leather-daddy-in-a-leather-vest-and-cap-16x20-inches-oil-on-canvas-panel-by-kenney-mencher-leather-man-xkjrb-kabk4"></a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy5wCACsNEMLGpbPQW-_8JBs6iwAMAjd4mZ5np_xH-LhoYkJ6NLtYw_W45zZzwCtyBTMtferFZDypqWwtA_iAtu4yXb2a5gS6wXyy5U-l7_3Dnf9Ec0CjtHpufiyR3r2vIjGTMDJkDC9cC5I8r5xYS660G1mTQ_05iQXGt4kVFu7XqV_1Sx5g3xV7m/s2571/Introspective%20Inspector,%2016x20%20inches%20oil%20on%20canvas%20panel%20by%20Kenney%20Mencher%20%20(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2571" data-original-width="2145" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy5wCACsNEMLGpbPQW-_8JBs6iwAMAjd4mZ5np_xH-LhoYkJ6NLtYw_W45zZzwCtyBTMtferFZDypqWwtA_iAtu4yXb2a5gS6wXyy5U-l7_3Dnf9Ec0CjtHpufiyR3r2vIjGTMDJkDC9cC5I8r5xYS660G1mTQ_05iQXGt4kVFu7XqV_1Sx5g3xV7m/w334-h400/Introspective%20Inspector,%2016x20%20inches%20oil%20on%20canvas%20panel%20by%20Kenney%20Mencher%20%20(3).jpg" width="334" /></a></div>Introspective Inspector, 16x20 inches oil on canvas panel by Kenney Mencher<p></p><div class="reviewSummary h8qeTfWenSp7KwcFbedg gQwxW4FYWMhmVihMXMwH" style="background-color: white; font-family: Poppins; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.375rem; order: 0;"><a class="summaryLink P5Ncx2IWfWcjGMOV6utK" href="https://www.kenneymencher.com/shop/p/handlebar-mustache-bare-chested-leather-daddy-in-a-leather-vest-and-cap-16x20-inches-oil-on-canvas-panel-by-kenney-mencher-leather-man-xkjrb-kabk4#reviews" style="background: 0px 0px; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-size: 1rem; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><p style="margin: 1rem 0px;">474 Store Reviews</p></a></div><div class="ProductItem-details-checkout" data-controller="ProductItemVariants,ProductCartButton" data-controllers-bound="ProductItemVariants,ProductCartButton" style="background-color: white; flex-direction: column; font-family: Poppins; font-size: 16px; order: 4;"><div class="ProductItem-product-price" data-animation-role="content" style="margin-bottom: 25px; order: 1;"><div class="product-price" style="color: var(--tweak-product-basic-item-price-color); font-family: acumin-pro; font-size: calc(1.2rem); letter-spacing: 0em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 25px;">$600.00</div><div data-afterpay="true" data-current-context="{

Alla prima, also called “wet-on-wet” and “direct painting,” is a very popular method of painting in which the artist applies paint to the canvas essentially in one sitting (“alla prima” is an Italian phrase that translates to “at once”). <p></p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">Alla prima allows an overall command of the whole picture because everything is being painted ‘all at once’ in the same session. It calls for virtuoso handling of the material – a boldness that can bring out an inspired response.</p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">The focus of alla prima is edges: soft, blended ones contrasted with those sharply defined. However, being able to control these edges and the way the paint mixes require preparation of colors and a decisive handling of the material.</p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">The composition of this painting is based on a principle called the “rule of thirds” in which the focus or emphasis of the painting is brought off center so it is a bit more interesting. In this painting you’ll see that the is in the upper right quarter of the image rather than dead center. I also thought that the asymmetrical quality of the composition made this painting have a better flow.</p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">I’ve also attempted to use thick quick calligraphic brushwork to make the textures more engaging and descriptive. I use different textures and brushworks for different areas. I’ve also layered the paint and, in some places, used plastering knives to skip coat the paint over some areas. </p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">This is painted on a canvas panel. Why do I paint on canvas panel? Mainly for the durability. Canvas panels are made with a rigid core with canvas glued directly to the rigid base. Unlike stretched canvas, boards warp less and expands and contracts less. It’s sturdier to ship and will endure the heat and cold better so the paint will crack and chip less than a stretched canvas which flexes and changes as in different temperatures and environments.</p><p class="" style="margin: 1rem 0px;">It's also a standard frame size so you can buy an “open back frame kit” anywhere on the web from Amazon, to Blick, or even on Etsy. Visit a framing shop and they usually have premade frames in this size that they can pop into a frame and wire up for you right on the spot.</p></div></div>Kenney Mencherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16685559624262422961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242694017830633974.post-4957731993567419622023-03-24T18:11:00.011-07:002023-03-24T18:11:00.243-07:00 Romanesque Art<iframe width="819" height="506" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ObCNbB8QSBo?list=PLeBjwwnmiiAE3maqzWgv2y9eGW_bMNDJS" title="12th C Romanesque Architecture and Sculpture cc" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Romanesque. This is a large relief carving that was originally painted. The composition is symmetrical and organized using hieratic scale. The picture plane is also organized according to horizontal bands each filled with figures that are pushed up against the front of the picture plane. There is no creation of deep space in this relief sculpture.</span><span></span><p><span>According to the Brittanica,</span></p><blockquote><span>Typically, the figure of Christ appears in the centre of the composition, dominant in size and usually enclosed in a mandorla (an oval, nimbus-like form). At his right and left are the four Evangelists, sometimes represented or accompanied by their animal symbols. To the sides, smaller figures of angels and demons weigh sins of the resurrected dead, who are ranked along the lowest and smallest section of the tympanum, directly above the lintel.</span></blockquote><span></span><p><br /><span><b>Iconography: </b>What makes St. Lazare an interesting example of Romanesque architecture and art is the fact that the west portal, which depicts a "sermon in stone," was originally painted. It is exceedingly well organized and stylized. This means that the figures represented in the relief sculpture are non naturalistic, this is akin to what one would see in Byzantine art. The figures relative size is based not on reality, but on their spiritual importance. </span><span></span></p><p><span>Jesus, as the central figure is shown impossibly huge the figures around him are depicting judgment, heaven and hell, and good and evil. The organization of the composition is designed so that all of the other figures relate in some way to the central figure of Jesus. Figures who are to the right of Christ are literally on his good side while the figures to his left are not. Likewise there is a hierarchy according to placement in the three bands. The correlation between left and right (good and evil) does not exist in the topmost band. Anything placed in the uppermost register of the composition is "good" or heavenly.</span><span></span></p><p><span>Around this interior depiction of a sermon one can see the various signs of the zodiac, which brings forth one of the main differences between the Romanesque and the Gothic style of art within a cathedral, in a Romanesque cathedral one can easily find depiction's of events and symbols that are not necessarily related to what is found in the bible. In a Gothic cathedral, by contrast, the emphasis is put mainly on biblical scenes, and scenes with Jesus in particular.</span><span></span></p><p><span><b>Context: </b>In Romanesque art, the emphasis to the followers was teaching. The scenes shown in almost all of the artwork found at St. Lazare are intended to teach a morality lesson, tell a story, or establish a sort of religious iconography of good and evil. For example, almost everything in this piece is representative of something else. The arch above Jesus and the scene surrounding him is representative of heaven. The sinners are always found to the left of Jesus, and the believers to the right. Everything in Romanesque art and architecture is highly organized and made to to make it easy for the followers to read the meaning and the message that the church intends.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><span>According to a former student, Maureen Lara,</span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><br /><span></span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><blockquote><span>From first glance, one could already see the hierarchy established through the use of three separate levels as well as the scale involved in placing the relatively large sculpture of Jesus in the center enclosed in a glorifying mandorla. (The topmost level is an exception in the hierarchy since it represents the heavens; the entire band consists of "good" people. ) The symmetry of the art, to my perspective, expresses the way the world and one's fate after death revolves around how well one learns from and lives their lives according to the teachings of Jesus.</span><span></span><p><span>The art overall exhibits no deep space and is stylized rather than naturalistic. Interestingly, the art is organized in such a way that the figures considered good and worthy of the kingdom of God are to Jesus' right and those who fail the last judgment because of sinfulness are to His left. The smaller size of the figures in the bottom-most band indicates those who await their judgment before the Lord. The sizes of the figures as well as their placement in the hierarchy are done in accordance to their religious importance. This can be scene in St. Peter, who is said to be the gatekeeper of Heaven; he is larger in size than the other believers as well as the angels. The main storyline of the scenes is centered around the battle between good and evil and triumph of one or the other during the weighing of souls after death. The consequences of being good are illustrated, for instance, by the faithful children joyfully playing with angels to Jesus' right. The rewards of goodness are also expressed by the graceful appearance of the angels, a persuasive element in the art that urges people to be righteous.</span></p></blockquote><span>According to the Brittanica,</span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><br /><span></span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><blockquote><span>Christianity, further developing the concept of the Last Judgment, teaches that it will occur at the Parousia (the Second Coming, or Second Advent, of Christ in glory), when all men will stand before a judging God. In early Christian art the scene is one of Christ the judge, the resurrection of the dead, the weighing of souls, the separation of the saved and the damned, and representations of paradise and hell. Romanesque artists produced a more terrible vision of the Last Judgment: Christ is shown as a stern judge, sometimes carrying a sword and surrounded by the four mystical beasts--eagle, lion, ox, and winged man--of the apocalypse; the contrast between paradise and hell is between the awesome and the ferocious. In the gentler, more humanistic art of the Gothic period, a beautiful Christ is shown as the Redeemer, his right side undraped to reveal the wound of the lance, and both wounded hands raised high in a gesture that emphasizes his sacrifice. He is surrounded by the instruments of his Passion--cross, nails, lance, and crown of thorns. The intercessors are restored, and the scene of the Judgment is treated with optimism. In the 16th century, Michelangelo produced a radically different version of the Last Judgment in his fresco in the Sistine Chapel in Rome (1533-41): a vengeful Christ, nude like a pagan god, gestures menacingly toward the damned.</span></blockquote><span></span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><table><tbody><tr><td><span></span><br /><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/romanesque_gothic/St_Lazare_Autun_W_portal_giselbertus_c1130CE_detail_the_elect_rising.jpg"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/romanesque_gothic/St_Lazare_Autun_W_portal_giselbertus_c1130CE_detail_the_elect_rising.jpg" width="428" /></a><br /><span>The "elect" rising.</span><br /><span>According to Gardener's, the figure at the bottom far right </span><br /><span>has a bag ornamented with a cross and a shell, </span><br /><span>symbols of pilgrims who have journeyed to Jerusalem </span><br /><span>and Santiago de Compostela.</span></td><td><span>The iconography found on select parts of the tympanum clearly show what happens to the 'good' believers.

While it appears that the Devil is trying to pull the scale downward in order to be able to claim another soul, Michael appears to be attempting to lift the soul upward, in order to claim the soul for heaven. Though it is a small vignette, it illustrate rather succinctly the struggle of good and evil in the souls of mankind. Note how in contrast to the angel Michael, the Devil is portrayed as emaciated, grotesque, and as terrifying as the stone masons could portray. This was to remind the members of the church how awful hell was, and frighten them into submission. </span></td></tr><tr><td><span></span><br /><a href="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/romanesque_gothic/St_Lazare_Autun_W_portal_giselbertus_c1130CE_detail_Paul_Angel.jpg"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://kenney-mencher.com/pic_old/romanesque_gothic/St_Lazare_Autun_W_portal_giselbertus_c1130CE_detail_Paul_Angel.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><span>Paul makes a last attempt<br /><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Come and study with me.<o:p></o:p></p>
