FOR TODAY’S CLASS:
Be sure to understand the common features of these Northern European altarpieces so you can recognize them in the examples we see in class.
How do you see oil paint playing out in the works of art examined for class today?
You must be sure to take away the main points from Barbara Lane’s article (linked above) that examines Rogier van der Weyden’s Last Judgment Altarpiece. In particular, how does the context of where it was displayed determine the type of audience and the message delivered to that audience?
