As will be seen, Leonardo's approach to the theme and execution of the painting reflect not religious inspiration but scientific aspiration.

Indeed, even those qualities of the painting that have been pointed to as flaws in Leonardo's vision are, it will be shown, characteristic of the Renaissance rather than the Middle Ages.

A review of Boticelli's painting "The Mystical Nativity". 3,150 words (approx. 12.6 pages), 5 sources, 2002, $ 115.95 Essay (General) # 36987 | details | Abstract This is an in-depth analysis of Sandro Botticelli's painting "The Mystical Nativity" (1500). It includes an analysis of the aesthetic, symbolic, and formal elements of the painting, as well as a short biography of the painter and a section on the theological implications of the painting. As a traditional Christian theme, the nativity is one of the most popular. This radical reinterpretation, however, combines symbolism from Revelation with the scene of the first coming of the messiah, creating a dynamic image. The style is a throwback to medieval formalism, and the distorted figures are a reference to a holier time, perhaps influenced by the resurgence of medieval ideology in the person of Savonarola, whose ideas heavily influenced this painting. The paper can serve as a demonstration of understanding of Renaissance religious symbolism, or as a deep analysis of a single work of art from the quattrocento.

This paper discusses Realism in nineteenth century painting. 1,275 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 7 sources, 2002, $ 48.95 Essay (General) # 38123 | details | Abstract This paper discusses Realism in nineteenth century painting as part of a broader movement which began in literature, became associated with painting, and then broadened to include theatre and later, film. In all its forms it was a rejection of the predominantly Classical vocabulary of art, and also of the Romanticism which prevailed in the 1800's. Artists wanted to paint the world as they saw it, which included warts-and-all portraits, and subjects that included peasants working the fields. However, Realist art and politics were inextricably bound up, first in the person of Courbet who founded the Realism movement and later, in the Socialist Realism paintings of Russia.
