2 answers:

8 0

It is made out of linen (eight bands sewn together) and is 270 feet long and about 20 inches wide. It was once even longer but part of the tapestry at the end – after the Battle of Hastings– has been cut off. The writing on the tapestry is in Latin. The main stitches used are stem stitching and laid-and-couched stitching.
Eight colours can be made out from the tapestry; the five main colours are blue-green, terracotta, light-green, buff and grey-blue. There are also places where very dark blue, yellow and a dark green have been used. The colour of skin has been left as the colour of the linen.

Which convention does German Renaissance artist Matthias Grünewald use in the Isenheim altarpiece?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

A. The altarpiece incorporates the medieval belief that art should communicate a religious idea.

Explanation:

Chruch and religion had dominance over all the aspects of life during medieval times. Many people were uneducated and illiterate and only education and art were in the domain of the church. Therefore, the art was supposed to be mostly religious and depict the scenes from the Bible and the life of Jesus.

The altarpiece depicts religious themes, most notably the image of crucifixion in the middle. The scene of spiritual presence, suffering, Christ’s temptations, and passionate parts of the Bible were commonly depicted during the Middle ages, so the huge and detailed, almost grotesque, altarpiece is the perfect example of the art that follows those traditions.
