Simon Vouet’s painting provides a compelling illustration of the 17th century’s fascination with the dramatic martyrdom of John the Baptist.
This evocative portrait of Christ by Jusepe de Ribera was one of Bob Jones Jr.’s “very special favorites.”
In our next few videos, M&G’s founder Dr. Bob Jones Jr. will share his expertise on the Baroque period which followed Mannerism and is known for a range of dramatic styles.
Last time Dr. Jones noted that many Baroque painters belonged to specific “schools of art.” In this segment he will continue his discussion of the Bolognese School, highlighting Domenico Zampieri. He will also introduce three other prominent painters from the Roman School.
In this segment Dr. Jones begins with two works—one from the beginning and another from the ending of the Baroque period—helping us discern characteristics that illuminate the era’s stylistic scope.
In this segment, Dr. Jones will share some concluding thoughts about this wonderfully diverse era in art history.
Christ often chose to subtly correct His disciples through simple, but poignant illustrations. Mattia Preti beautifully captures one such moment.
