Unfortunately, I was unable to find a picture of this late 15th to early 16th century painting by Garofalo Ferrara, so it was difficult at best to find information on this blog. The most I could find were Italian websites, that did not have pictures and did not make sense when they were translated.
From what I could tell this painting was an excellant example of an early mistake in prospective drawing as there appear to be clear lines acrossed the pages going horizontally and not vanishing at all. The picture appears to be in rows up close, although the perspective appearance is fairly decent as you get further away. I would've thought this painting was fantastic had I not been looking for it. The error put it closer to our first attempts to draw vanishing points in my high school art class. It creates these layers that make it look very unrealistic.
Vanishing points was probably one of my favorite aspects from art class, however, I think in part because I cannot bring myself, for the most part, to critique artists who are doing a much better job than I would. I also found myself having trouble with the religious paintings because I spent along time debating how big babies or figures such as Jesus and the Virgin Mary should be. I lost track of the vanishing points.

I found myself losing track of the vanishing points as well. Especially with the religious paintings because it's so hard to ignore the proportion because in some it's sooooo drastic and impossible to ignore. I vaguely remember having to draw my name in Ms Hauser's art class from a vinishing point ha. So it makes me laugh that I got the concept of vanishing points and I suck at all such things but these famous peoples didn't get it.. haha
RispondiEliminaI couldn't find a picture of my paiting either. It s so difficult to explain a picture you really know nothing about. I like art but I cannot critique it for the lfe of me. Personaly I don't know what I am looking for. While looking at the paintings in the museum I had a had time fnding the vanishing points. I think this is why I found this assignment difficult. I wish I knew more about art at times like these :(
