THE PART FOR THE WHOLE II.

Another Renaissance painting:

a) Whose toes are these?
b) Who is the author?
c) Did the author paint during the Quattrocento or the Cinquecento?
d) Tell me the names of other painters and their artworks during the same period.





You got right!
It was "Lamentación sobre Cristo muerto" (The Lamentation over the Dead Christ or the Lamentation of Christ) by Andrea Mantegna, around 1480.
It portrays the body Christ lying on a marble slab. He is watched over by the Virgin Mary and Saint John whose cut-off profile is behind the Virgin Mary, who are weeping for his death.
The realism and tragedy of the scene are enhanced by the violent perspective, perspective is one of the features of the Renaissance.

KNIGHT TRAINING

Read this information and answer the quiz questions: Knights belonged to the noble class and were part of a military order, but not all soldiers could become knights.  Training began at a very young age. At 7, the son of a medieval nobleman or knight would be sent off to serve as a page in a lord's castle. There, he would learn horsemanship, archery and swordsmanship, and perform various other duties around the castle. Squires would begin training at age 14 years old.
