In class, we discussed the 13th and 14 century Madonna and Child art pieces by Ciambue and Giotto. During the lecture, we could point out small important details that showed the different representations and meanings of the paintings. In Ciambue’s piece, he positions the angels holding the throne and the Madonna delivering her child Jesus. While Ciambue chose to use the angels in an assisting fashion in Giottos it stood out to me that he chose to position the angels surrounding the Madonna and child. These two differences were also valuable details we talked about in class. We also discussed the significance of the bright rings around the heads of the figures in paintings, which represent their righteousness. We also elaborate on how some higher-ranked families that collected art would take an inventory of all their belongings such as art, castles, and its inhabitants. They would usually do this in the form of art by portraying a good bad government that was established by the Limburg brothers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
