What stood out to me is the position of Adam in the second scene, where Eve was leaning forwards to share the apple and Adam was kneeling down, a position similar to that of a defeated soldier depicted in some Greek and Roman Art. Here the scene illustrates the sense that Eve was forcing Adam for eating the apple. It&#8217;s also amazing to notice that in the last scene Adam and Eve were walking out of Eden into the white black paper sheet&#8211;our world. This design connects the painting with the audience&#8217;s world, which reminds me of other similar technics artists would like to use to build the bridge between the art world inside and the outside real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we moved on to the Scrovegni chapel. The fresco about the last judgment was placed at the exit and is impressive to me. It is interesting to see how the scene of Hell was depicted vividly on the right side of this huge fresco, where monsters were eating bodies and sinners were suffering in the body part where they committed sin.  This definitely played an important role in reminding people to be conscious about their behavior or otherwise they will be sent to Hell by the last judgment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this class, we first took a look at the Limbourg brothers&#8217; Original Sin, which is a continuous narrative because four different scenes of Adam and Eve were depicted on the same canvas.
