Questions for comparison – Icon “Christ the Almighty” – “The Birth of Venus” S. Botticelli
1. On what topic did the artist choose the subject? – Religious – Antique plot (myth)
2. What idea did the author seek to express and what images did he create for this? – The greatness and menacingness of God (Almighty) – The image of a beautiful girl, man, the idea of ​​the birth of beauty (Venus is the goddess of love and beauty)
3. What means of expression (light, shadow, color, perspective, elaboration of details) have been chosen by the artist? – Color (in icons, color generally played a major role – each color means something), as well as light, it comes from the eyes of Christ.
The rest of the funds, in my opinion, have not been used. – Perspective, color, shadows, elaboration of details at height, light, Venus seems to be illuminated from the inside
4. How would you personally characterize the aesthetic and ethical value of the work? – Both the aesthetic and ethical value are questionable in my opinion
– From an aesthetic point of view, the picture is beautiful – a subtle elaboration of lines, an eye-pleasing plot, from an ethical point of view – an assertion of the non-sinfulness of the body, the beauty of the beauty of man and the world.
