Early Italian Renaissance

 

You must choose the work from the Metropolitan Museum of Art that interests you the most. Discuss the historical and geographical context as well as the stylistic and technical aspects, explain what fascinates you about this work and why you chose to write about it. Your analysis will be drawn primarily from your own observations based on the format of a formalistic analysis. You do not have to use outside sources. If you desire, you may use the Bible, mythology, or other general sources to aid you. If you use other sources for an analysis or interpretations please footnote it in the text. Do not try to pass off esoteric interpretations as your own.

The most important part of this paper is the final couple of paragraphs where you will explain what the work said to you. Why did you choose it? What drew you to it?  How did it impact you?  What feeling did it give you?  What do you think the artists (or artists) were trying to say.  How did it reflect the period and the civilization?  In some cases there will be no name of an artist but the work will speak to you none-the-less.
