Learning Goal: I’m working on a history writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
irst watch the following videos:
- Ghiberti and Brunelleschi Sacrifice of Isaac Competition Panels (Links to an external site.)
- Brunelleschi’s Dome for the Duomo (Cathedral of Florence)
Then, use the comparison images to write a short essay comparing each artist’s The Sacrifice of Isaac, based on the following questions:
- Which of these two relief sculptures is more naturalistic. Describe specific elements that exhibit naturalism or lack thereof.
- Which of these two sculptures do feel conveys more emotional drama and excitement?
- Which of these two sculptures do you prefer, and why?
