in this class, we talked about different altarpieces. We talked about the iconography of the Entombment of Jesus. In Robert Campins’ Entombment Triptch, there is an overflow of emotions. There are angels and Mary who are displaying a lot of emotions. It is interesting how in the painting, the landscape unifies the painting, like telling a story. In Rogier van der Weydans’ painting, Entombment, you can see how Mary’s positions reflects the position of Jesus. It is as if she can feel Jesus pain and empathy toward him. Both, Mary and Jesus, are very similar from the body placement to their hand placement. In this painting, Rogier is breaking symmetry and making the viewer see this picture. What I mean by this is that he is not displaying anything else before and after Jesus death, he puts the people in this coffin like space and we see the death of Jesus. It is interesting to see the difference between frescos and oil painting because we get to see more details and it gives the artist more to say. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
