'First Nicaea Council' - Early Christian
325 - illustrating Emperor Constantine holding the Nicene Creed
no development of perspective and overlays each character to waste space
the halos cover the characters and is a very squashy picture



' Castle of Dinan ' - Romanesque
11 century - shows the Norman conquest of England. soldiers burning down a castle gate to the ground
stitching of cloth being embroidered onto the material


' Lamentation ' - Gothic
Giotto, 1304 - 1306
Jesus laid down from the cross as Mary, John and many other characters care and mourn for the death of Jesus. The painting plays apart of landscape and figures with the traditional symbols of holiness, e.i. halos
religious image that reissues an event from the bible


' Lucio Fopper ' - Proto Renaissance
Giovanni, 1590, panel 105 x 50
a self portrait of Lucio dressed in sharp and well designed armory to signify his glory and royalty. the contrast of light and dark

Supper of Emmaus - Caravaggio 1901

this picture plays a large role of contrast between light and dark, which creates a very realistic and deep moment in the biblical story. the rich red stands out and emphasised greatly to show that sense of importance and royalty. the painting also includes elements of still life, portrait and profile images.


Shepherd's Idyll - François Boucher 1768

this picture plays a role of many elements taken from many styles and forms of art. the fact that a landscape painting consisting with figures in the foreground. By doin, it shifts the traditional motive of a landscape painting into a more conceptual one.



le serment des horaces - David 1784-1785

strong emphasised structure on the figures, creating lots of muscle toned shading which brings out the sense of strength and nobility in the picture. the positioning of the figures is a very strong one as well. perspective within the painting hasnt been greatly shown, mainly looks like a puppet show like theme.. with the figures all aligned in a nearby surrounding



The Wine Harvest - Goya 1786

a hint of still life between the figures in motion during an ordinary day in the fields. their poses are very genuine and very elegent. having the stunning mountain ranges in the back creates a nice and dramatic responce to the painting.
