Worshipers entered the 300-foot-long nave through a narthex, or vestibule, whereupon they had an uninterrupted view of the altar and the officiating priest in the apse.

Only one part of what you can see today shows Michelangelo's original design for St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome. Identify which part?
ONLY THE DRUM was Michelangelo's original design. Michelangelo's and Bramante's original Renaissance designs were expanded and completed in the 17th century.

Terribilita
The notion of the Sublime (a concept, thing, or state of exceptional awe-inspiring beauty and moral or intellectual expression) shadowed by the awesome and the fearful, often associated with Michelangelo and his works. An energetic quality of Michelangelo work
Castagno, Last Supper SHOWS:
The painting depicts Jesus and the Apostles during the Last Supper, with Judas, unlike all the other apostles, sitting separately on the near side of the table, as is common in depictions of the Last Supper in Christian art. Although the Last Supper is described in all four Gospels, Castagno's fresco seems most closely aligned with the account in the Gospel of John, in which eleven of the apostles are confused and the devil "enters" Judas when Jesus announces one of his followers will betray him.[3] Saint John's posture of innocent slumber neatly contrasts with Judas's tense, upright pose and exaggeratedly pointed facial features. Except for Judas, Christ and his apostles, including the recumbent St John, all have a translucent disc of a halo above their heads.
The Last Supper (Leonardo) SHOWS:
The painting represents the scene of the Last Supper of Jesus with his apostles, as it is told in the Gospel of John, 13:21. It portrays the reaction given by each apostle when Jesus said one of them would betray him. All twelve apostles have different reactions to the news, with various degrees of anger and shock. DESCRIPTION: From left to right, according to the apostles' heads: Bartholomew, James, son of Alphaeus, and Andrew form a group of three; all are surprised. Judas Iscariot, Peter, and John form another group of three. Judas is wearing red, blue, and green and is in shadow, looking withdrawn and taken aback by the sudden revelation of his plan. He is clutching a small bag, perhaps signifying the silver given to him as payment to betray Jesus, or perhaps a reference to his role as a treasurer. He is also tipping over the salt cellar, which may be related to the near-Eastern expression to "betray the salt" meaning to betray one's master. He is the only person to have his elbow on the table and his head is also vertically the lowest of anyone in the painting. Peter wears an expression of anger and appears to be holding a knife, foreshadowing his violent reaction in Gethsemane during the arrest of Jesus. Peter is leaning towards John and touching him on the shoulder, in reference to John's Gospel where he signals the "beloved disciple" to ask Jesus who is to betray him.[a] The youngest apostle, John, appears to swoon and lean towards Peter.
atmospheric perspective (aerial perspective)
The principle that the farther back the object is in space, the blurrier and less detailed it appears.
Titian, Venus of Urbino, 1538, oil on canvas
The recumbent nude, Captured contemporaries imagination, and for centuries afterwards. Duke of Urbino commissioned this work, was referred to as the nude in it's contemporary time. Was probably a well kept courtesan of the duke. Face is looking out at the viewer. Wooden carved chests were kept by well to do familys to keep linens. Setting refers to the fact that she is a very well kept courtesan.softness of legs and arms, detail of bed clothes to the carving of the casonnne.
Tintoretto, Last Supper SHOWS:
Tintoretto's Last Supper makes use of Mannerist devices, notably its complex and radically asymmetrical composition. In its dynamism and emphasis on the quotidian—the setting is similar to a Venetian inn—the painting points the way to the Baroque. The table at which the apostles sit recedes into space on a steep diagonal. The centre of the scene is occupied not by the apostles but instead by secondary characters, such as a woman carrying a dish and the servants taking the dishes from the table. Furthermore, Tintoretto's painting features a more personal use of light, which appears to come into obscurity from both the light on the ceiling and from Jesus' aureola. A host of angels hover above the scene.
