Eyck vs Masaccio

The art works are Jan Van Eyck the virgin with canon van der Paele dated 1436 and the other is the holy trinity by massaccio dated 1428. The trinity located in the church of Santa Maria novella in Florence in 1428. The trinity refers to the Christian concept of father, son, and the Holy Ghost. You can see the father holding the arms of Christ on the cross, and the dove above Christ's head represent the Holy Ghost. In addition at the foot of the stand, Virgin Mary is on the left and apostle john is on the right. The man and woman on both sides are husband and wife who paid to the art created, they were known as Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo lenzi. Below figures are the skeletons of Adam. The message is that the sins of man can be forgiven if one faith in the sacrifice of Christ and redemption offered by god. Massaccio uses one point perspective to make the composition convinci


Canon van der Paele was one of van Eyck's patrons. In this fresco painting viewers move from the despair of death to the hope of resurrection and eternal life. While the tomb projects, the chapel recedes visually behind the wall and appears as an extension of the viewer's space. The columns are flanked by Corinthian pilasters, which are flat, vertical architectural ornaments. As we can see with his painting here he did not use true one point perspective because there are many orthogonal lines and they do not converge at a single vanishing point. About five feet above the floor level, the vanishing point pulls the two views together, creating the illusion of an actual structure that transects the wall's vertical place. The Canon was reading but took off his glasses, therefore he is seeing with his minds eye. This altarpiece shows him kneeling before the Madonna and Child. This adjustment of the pictured space to the position of viewers was a first step in the development of illusionist painting, which fascinated many artists of the Renaissance and later Baroque period the holy trinity faithful can be seen through images. We can see that the frame is signed, is executed with oil paint and Eyck used glazes with success. The crucifixion takes place in a barrel vault. The squares on the vaulted ceiling are called coffers; they are thinner then the rests of the ceiling, which reduces the weight of the vault and the material to build it. At the top is a classical entablature. His use of the architectural space is very important. The artist was interested in creating the illusion of three dimensional space and form.
