Biblical figures and Saints
As we have seen over the past few weeks, art was often used to tell the life stories of important Biblical figures and Saints. These took the form of stained glass windows, manuscript illuminations, or panel paintings in the case of the Berlinghieri painting discussed in a video in the Learning Module this week.
For this discussion, I would like you to think about how you would tell the life story of a real, historical person you admire (not a religious figure or a family member — pick someone who is well-known). What scenes from that person’s life would you chose to depict and what form of art would you use for your representation?
You do not have to cover the person’s entire biography; 3 or 4 scenes will suffice. Make sure that you identify any sources you use to research your important person.
