Overview
First, read and watch the videos and texts about Michelangelo's and Raphael's art:
- Raphael, The Madonna of the Garden
- Raphael, The School of Athens
- Marble Carving Techniques
- Michelangelo: An Introduction
- Michelangelo, The Pieta
- Michelangelo's Sistine Ceiling
- Sistine Ceiling, 360 degree Virtual Tour
- Michelangelo, The Last Judgment
Then, use the Raphael vs. Michelangelo comparison images to write around a 200-300 word comparison essay between these two works, based upon the following questions:
- How has the presentation of the holy family in each image changed?
- How has the relationship between the figures changed?
- How has the composition different between these two works?
- What is different about the landscape in both works?
