Saint Vincent Ferrer

(Cossa, 1473-1475) Saint Vincent Ferrer

What is denoted?

The painting shows a saint giving a seroon to a church with him holding a bible in hand so it can stand out and for this to come together.

What is Connoted?

The connotes is the preist giving a sermon with the red table being shown to give him more power to the conngeration. The information coming from there is power to highlight that he is in control.

How are you affected as a viewer?

When looking at the painting I see the preist first holding the bible. I feel intrested in what he might have had to say the painting is bright so it will mean that it is not negtive painting.

What makes this work significant to you (and or your project)?

The lighting with the blue make the painting stand out with the painting having a lot of detail in use but this works as it adds more attenetion to the working that goes on in there. I think that I am going to use the way it is format to be bright to work with it to make sure that it can stand out and work togther.

Strengths and Weakness

The Strengths is that it is busy with information going and this works at times to make people come back to the priest in the foreground. The weakness of this painting is that it hard to understand what the preist is about and this might be done for his attention.

Who is the intended audience?

Some of his works were done for roylaty which meant it was for the dukes and kings to see these but this has changed with it being owned by the TNG so everyone can see it.

What context have you seen the work in?

I have only seen this work online at the national gallery’s website it would look stronger if I was to see this artwork in the flesh.

Is the work part of a bigger series?

The artist has proudced a wide range of works about religon and preists and they all are done to go with his era and religon being big where he was from.

A Young Astronomer

 (Ferrer, 1685) A Young Astronomer

What Is denoted?

The image donates the young boy holding a globe. The painting also highlights the map on the table which located next to the ink to show the what the work is shown around them.

What is Connoted?

The image of the young boy reading the globe to show him charting the course. With him reading the map and the globe it is connoted that he is looking a consolation to make it easier for him to go to certain places in the future. The books shown next to him highlight that it is going to be an important night with the way it is shown on the painting with the globe and the map coming together.

How am I affected as a viewer?

On first imposition on the looking at it highlights a young man looking at the globe planning on going somewhere. The image struck me as interesting as the boy is young and it is normally an older person planning a major trip due to the time of the year when he is done due to the way it done. The work makes me happy for him as he is going to find the correct constellations.

What makes this work significant to you (and or your project)?

The work is significant to me as it shows what it like to do a set up and show the members working and understanding to what this work is all about. I am going to use the simplicity to build my project to turn them into master pieces.

What ideas (or visual styles) will you take forward to think about in your work?

I am planning on taking forward the simplicity of the work with it not being overpowering but showing the subject in the correct location to get the images to all come together and work as a family.

Who is the intended audience?

The indented audience is for people interested in the style of highlighting what people do to. Work and also to show what they are about the painting is simple so it has making impact on the viewer in the gallery.

What context have you seen the work in?

I have only seen this on the computer screen but it would look different seeing it in person because it is shown to be bigger and you can understand it in the full tense in order for this to stand out to the user.

Is the work part of a bigger series?

It is not part of a bigger series. The artist has produced other work about people working and what jobs they do. They all show the same theme of them working.
