Question

How has the artist used symbolic proportion when creating Mary and Jesus (Christ), in this piece entitled, Mary and Christ Enthroned?

Answer 1

I could say that it means you use another item to explain what it means to the audience. Symbolic proportion is the apparent disproportionate relationship between objects within a piece. Others define symbolic proportion as the creation of an apparently disproportionate relationship in order to convey the importance of something.

I hope that this helps you ^_^
