One of the most interesting parts of our discussion on 10/5 was our conversation of the Portinari Altarpiece. It was intriguing to explore the connections between Judaism and Christianity and made me want to deeply read into anti-semitism in renaissance art. As we dove into our conversation about the allusions between translucency (the vase) and the Virgin Mary’s virginity while having a child, I began to wonder the other allusions that may’ve occurred in the piece. I especially appreciate the the connection made between this piece and the donkey and the ox in the other panel.
