In this class, we talked about the word iconography. The meaning of iconography is the study of images, the study of the way the subject matters, or how a certain subject that matters is represented. We also talked about different terms like polyptch, ex voto, predella, and the process of a fresco. We also talked about how artist moved from gilded scenes to natural scenes. When everything is gold, it doesn’t look natural and it makes the viewer wonder how supernatural the art piece is. We talked about the father – the son – and the holy spirit and how they are pictured in different art pieces. We talked about Enguerrand painting – Coronation of the Virgin and the meaning of all the different images present in the painting. There was a contract between the patron and the artist and the artist had to meet the need and demands of the patron, but they had some freedom in painting it. We talked about where the souls go and how they get there, in other words- the bible. There is a complex chronology of souls and where they go when people die. For example, after Jesus died on the cross, those who died before him go to heaven, but certain people/souls. It is very complex but I find it interesting on the matter of souls and how it connects to Enguerrand’s Coronation of the Virgin.
