When comparing Supper at Emmaus (1648) to its 1629 counterpart, the drastic change in technique is quite evident. Rembrandt dropped the theatrical quality in his use of layout and lighting; depicting Christ head on, under normal lighting. Christ is placed in the center beneath an arch, giving the painting a symmetrical layout. As Rembrandt became more dejected in life, he worked harder at striving to depict biblical scenes that were pure and of the utmost holiness. His painting Night Watch is noted for its excellent use of chiaroscuro.
While Da Vinci, in his painting Lady with the Ermine, kept to a chaste scene and while it does have its hidden references, this painting is more acceptable and less of a shock to the viewer’s sight as that of Michelangelo’s. The next set of works that could be compared would be that of Da Vinci’s The Baptism of Christ and Michelangelo’s The Conversion of Saul. Both of these paintings depict a religious theme as the subject and lend to the viewer a deep feeling of emotion, passion
Miracle of the Crib at Greccio and the Lamentation Giotto’s painting shows many similarities of a Christian style painting. One of giotto’s painting was the Miracle of the Crib at Greccio. Many scholars differ whether young Giotto or his followers, in the late 1330, painted the Miracle of the Crib at Greccio.

Formal Analysis Currently on display at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore the recently restored oil on canvas painting, Scipio Africanus Freeing Massiva hangs in the 18th century gallery. This Baroque painting fills out an entire wall measuring approximately 9 by 16 feet, which excludes the elaborate frame. The famed Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696-1770) completed this work in circa 1721. This painting derives its title from its subject of the Roman general Scipio freeing the Numidian prisoner Massiva as a gesture of goodwill to his uncle Masinissa. This painting completed in the beginning of Tiepolo’s career, typifies his early painterly style with the dramatic use of chiaroscuro and vibrant colors.
Introduction In this piece of writing I will be analysing and comparing two artworks from the famous artist-Salvador Dali. I will be unpicking the meanings of the two pieces, describing similarities and differences and also paying close attention to possible symbols that could give further information on Dali's life and how he thought. Dali's Background Salvador Dali (Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech) was a well known Spanish artist and surrealist, he painted bizarre and striking images which are mainly influenced by his personal experiences and way of thought. He was born on the 11th of May 1904 in a small town called Figueres in Catalonia.

On the right half of the painting, there is another vista that opens into a landscape. The deep reds act against the pale neutral whites of the linen bed sheets and the warm ivory-gold of the flesh. Both are seen again in the red tones of the attending matron's skirt, and the muted reds of the tapestries and the neutral whites of the sleeve of the matron's dress and the gown of the kneeling attending girl seen behind the reclining figure.
