Answer 2

Answer:

Painting "The Last Supper"

• It is a mural painting made between 1495 and 1498 by Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) did not charge for this painting. It was commissioned by Ludovico Sforza for the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.  

• The artist uses the vanishing perspective or linear perspective, which is a characteristic of Renaissance art. The main focus of his perspective is the character of Jesus, who is the center of reference for artistic composition.  

• Leonardo Davinci combines the use of vanishing perspective with the classical architectural representation, creating the illusion that the space in the convent where the painting was located seemed wider.  

• Another characteristic element of the Renaissance was the use of a window system to introduce natural light sources and spatial depth into the paintings. In “The Last Supper”, the lighting comes from the three windows in the background.

Painting "The Ambassadors"

• The painting is actually called “Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve”. It was created by Hans Holbein the Younger in 1533.  

• In this work, two characters look directly at the viewer, a very new effect for the time.

• In the lower part there is an element that gives a complex character to the painting: it looks like a deformed human skull. Technically it is an anamorphosis, that is, an intentional deformation of an image that can only be corrected by an optical effect such as a curved mirror. This innovative technique forces the viewer to be in a specific perspective to be able to see the image correctly.
