| 15554. ST. FRANCIS RECEIVING THE STIGMATA (JAN VAN EYCK) AND PROMETHEUS BOUND (RUBENS). Compares these two paintings, which are representative of the styles of the early Renaissance and the early Baroque. Both works are concerned with the suffering of a well-known character; however, Van Eyck's painting is religious and shows the stigmata as a sign of God's favor, while Rubens' work shows a mythological figure who is being tortured by an eagle. The paper also discusses differences in symbolism, composition, treatment of space, and other elements of artistic style. 6 pages, 14 footnotes, 7 bibliographic sources. |
