'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
