Date- 1505 Artist- Raphael Perspective: St. Michael is in the front of the picture, he is the biggest compared to all the other people in the background, showing us that he is closer than everyone else. You can tell that the people in the background are farther away because of the perspective. Symbolism- This painting symbolizes the strength of God and heaven, and St. Michael is given strength from God to overcome death and suffering, something that comes from hell. Space- In the front of this picture, there is not much space at all because Raphael wanted the painting to show the power and strength of St. Michael. But, in the background there is a lot of space especially farther away by the castle, past all of the people. Texture- There is a lot of texture in this picture, but only on the main subject, St. Michael and the demon. The texture on St. Michael's armor and wings makes him stand out even more, and the demon that he is slaying also has texture. Color- The color in this picture is mostly the same, it's all a redish brown. The sky, the clouds, the ground, and even the people in the background are the same color and I think that this is a good thing. It makes the mood of the painting a lot more dull and gloomy. Date- 1502 Artist- Raphael Proportion- I think the proportions in this painting are a bit off. Jesus's legs are in bad proportion because his knees are bending too close to his feet. Also, the man in the red tights legs are unusually long and they look like a horses legs. But the other people seem like they are in good proportion. Balance- There is an even amount of people throughout the painting and it is very evenly balanced. color- the colors in this painting are so bright and flamboyant that it make this painting seem very happy. All of the colors in it, to me, shows that this is a very happy occasion. Emotion- In this painting, the peoples faces seem like they are in shock, some are extremely happy, and some look scared. this painting is filled with mixed emotions, which is what would happen if someone came flying out of there coffin. Detail- The main details in this painting are on the tomb that jesus was in. If you look at it, it looks a lot more realistic than all of the other people look. All of the other people are detailed, but to me, the tomb looks the realist, also In the background, all of the water and landscape looks vague.
