Comments on: Lamentation Over the Dead http://www.vindaugagallery.com/archives/139 Light + Glass Studio Blog Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:43:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: April Fool http://www.vindaugagallery.com/archives/139#comment-466 April Fool Sun, 05 Mar 2006 18:26:12 +0000 http://www.vindaugagallery.com/?p=139#comment-466 I really like the photo, although there are two things that distract me. First, the bedframe. It would be more stark if you were "laid out" on a slab. Mantegna’s piece copies that, with even having the feet hang off the end of the bed, and I think it would add to the starkness of the setting. Second, I think I would find it more striking if there was a sepia wash. I don't say that in the technical sense, but just that the first painting has a stronger yellow overtone, similar to the paleness, yellowness of death. Although the stark blue cast also has that hue, I think a golden caste would make it so much more life-like as to be disturbing. The blue undertone allows you to distance yourself a bit more.

I also cant help but study the faces in the photo. it makes me feel uncomfortable, but i don’t mean that in a bad way. i’m having to view christ in a different manner, and it somewhat makes me think of Lincoln, actually. its that bedframe. it looks to human, makes me think of a dying man taken to a bed to lie and die which makes me think of lincoln. pretty good.
