Response to Ian's blog #7

Ian, I really enjoyed reading your post on murals and I have also done a project on Michelangleo as well, although it was a little longer ago than junior year for me. In particular, I like the mural that you chose to show on your blog as I believe that it does have a significant amount of symbolism in it. I agree with your interpretations about the right and the left side and how the left-most edge has leaves and rocks while the right-most part is barren. That is one thing I appreciate about the classical/renassaince painters is that they always made their works portray images with a lot of hidden symbolism. Great post!
