The Flagellation of Christ: A Formal Analysis | AmorSciendi

Описание: This video is a formal analysis of the composition of Piero della Francesca’s painting The Flagellation of Christ. It moves through competing theories regarding the subject of the painting, and then does a geometric analysis of the composition to show how the formal qualities of the painting contribute to its overall meaning, whatever that meaning may be.
