Deals specifically and grotesquely with the themes of dire illness and miraculous healing. Used color to intensify the effect of horror and hope by means of soft harmonies and subtle tones against shocking dissonance of color. Iconography carefully selected to have meaning to viewers: Christ’s body becomes amputated as parts of the altar are slid away. Slide concept by William V.

17 Low-key images were viewed as useful devotional aids
Low-key images were viewed as useful devotional aids. Prints provided a prime vehicle for educating the masses because artists could print them easily, permitting wide circulation and the sale of numerous copies. They were the least expensive of art forms, making them more accessible to a wider audience than traditionally commissioned art.

22 First, he produced the work without commission
First, he produced the work without commission. Saint Peter (as representative of the pope in Rome) is relegated to a secondary role by being placed behind John the Evangelist, who focused on Christ’s reason in his Gospel. Peter and John both read from the Bible, the single authoritative source of religious truth, according to Luther. Dürer emphasizes the Bible’s centrality by depicting it open to the legible passage “In the beginning was the Word…” At the bottom of the painting, Dürer includes quotations from each of the four apostles’ books, warning against the coming of perilous times and the preaching of false prophets who will distort God’s word.

24 Durer’s representaton of the Last Suupper reflected Luther’s position on the sacrament of Transubstantiation in that the bread and wine appear prominently in the print’s corner, and the empty plate in the foreground refers to the commemorative, rather than literal, nature of Christ’s sacrifice in the Mass. Transfiguration would traditionally have been represented by a slaughtered lamb on the plate. Luther insisted that Communion was commemorative, not a reenactment. Slide concept by William V.

27 The gnarled bark of the trees and the feathery leaves. Symbolism
Two elements of Durer's Adam and Eve that reflect his study of Italian models: The figures stand in poses reminiscent of classical statues. He made geometric sketches beforehand to perfect the ideal proportions, but balanced this idealization with naturalism in both the figures and the vegetation. The cat and mouse in the foreground--predator and innocent prey--summarize the relationship between the two human protagonists. Perched on a distant cliff at the upper right is an ibex, or goat, a traditional symbol for the unbelieving, and an apt metaphor for the first humans to break a divine commandment. The elk, bull, rabbit, and cat embody the four humors, or temperaments: the melancholic, the phlegmatic, the sanguine, and the choleric. The poses of Adam and Eve are similar to the figures of contrapposto kouroi and korai. List one element that demonstrates his Northern commitment to Naturalism: The gnarled bark of the trees and the feathery leaves. Symbolism With his right hand, Adam grasps a mountain ash, signifying the Tree of Life; this is contrasted with the Tree of Knowledge, represented by the fig tree at the center of the composition. The diabolical and seductive serpent depositing the forbidden fruit in Eve's hand is opposed by the parrot, which symbolizes both wisdom and discernment, and the virgin birth of Christ Slide concept by William V. Ganis, PhD FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY For publication, reproduction or transmission of images, please contact individual artists, estates, photographers and exhibiting institutions for permissions and rights. Albrecht Dürer The Fall of Man 1504 engraving 9 7/8 x 7 5/8 in.

28 Melancholic The melancholic temperament is fundamentally introverted and thoughtful. Melancholic people often were perceived as very (or overly) pondering and considerate, getting rather worried when they could not be on time for events. Sanguine The sanguine temperament is fundamentally impulsive and pleasure-seeking; sanguine people are sociable and charismatic. They tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and tend to be boisterous. They are usually quite creative and often daydream. Phlegmatic The phlegmatic temperament is fundamentally relaxed and quiet, ranging from warmly attentive to lazily sluggish. Phlegmatics tend to be content with themselves and are kind. Choleric The choleric temperament is fundamentally ambitious and leader-like. They have a lot of aggression, energy, and/or passion, and try to instill it in others.

33 Stylistic effects he utilized to emphasize the violence of the battle;
The landscape contains craggy mountains, swirling clouds, and a blazing sun. As he began a campaign against the Turks, the Duke of Bavaria hired the artist Albrecht Altdorfer to paint the historic conflict between Alexander the Great and Darius (leading the Persians). Altdorfer emphasized the connection between the ancient battle and contemporary times as the figures are attired in contemporary armor and are engaged in contemporary military alignments.

47 Three Italian Renaissance features of the Chateau of Chambord:
The plan includes a square block with four corridors, in the shape of a cross. At each of the four corners, a round tower punctuates the plan. The exterior is a carefully contrived horizontal accent on three levels, windows aligned precisely one above another, a motif based on the Italian palazzo. Two French Gothic features: Above the third story the structure’s line breaks chaotically into a jumble of light dormers, chimneys, and lanterns. The silhouette is soaring and ragged like Gothic buildings. Slide concept by William V.

51 Each of the stories forms a complete order.
Features of the facade of the Louvre courtyard that are derived from the Italian Renaissance and those that are essentially French. Italian: Each of the stories forms a complete order. The cornices project enough to create a strong horizontal accent. The arcading on the ground floor resembles the ancient Roman use of arches. French: The decreased height of the stories. The scale of the windows (proportionately much larger than in Renaissance buildings). The steep roof. Slide concept by William V.

Three characteristics of Goujon’s Nymphs from the Fountain of the Innocents, noting which seem to be related to Italian Mannerism: Figura serpentina poses. They are in a confined, unspecified space.

75 The style of the building:
It has a gridlike plan, classical Doric severity, simplicity of form and majesty without ostentation. Only the three entrances break the long sweep of the severely plain walls. Massive square towers punctuate the four corners. The stress is on the central axis and the granite used for the building conveys a feeling of starkness and gravity. The effect is of overwhelming strength and weight. Slide concept by William V.

79 Describe two elements that point toward the Baroque.
Describe two purely personal stylistic traits that are found in El Greco's work. Elongated undulating figures matched with abstractions and distortions to show the immaterial nature of the Heavenly realm. The figures are bathed in a cool light of uncertain origin and float in an undefined space. Describe two elements that point toward the Baroque. His strong sense of movement. His use of light. Describe two elements of El Greco's style that seem to be related to Italian Mannerism. Intense emotionalism. Great reliance on color. Slide concept by William V.
