Aino’s Mirror - Overhaul
Hello! I am MissSpite, also known as many names, who else loves that the internet makes you have SO many cool nicknames? Anway. I am here to let you know I’m shifting “Aino’s Mirror” over to an all-me fest, not just of Photograhy, but you will also see art, poems, sometimes dreams, and whatever else it is I’ve created and feel the need to share.
Do follow!
San Damiano Crucifix - located in Santa Chiara, Assisi, 12th century.
This crucifix is super important because it was the cross that St. Francis was praying to when he had a mystical vision from God, who commanded him to rebuild the church. The image of Christ that is pictured is an example of christus triumphans, which is the image of Christ on the cross that is alive, awake, and upright as opposed to sagging down on the cross in misery. This was a fairly simple crucifix that demonstrates a more regional style - there isn’t a ton of gold on the image, and the drapery is less sophisticated than other works during this time.

Esau Before Jacob with detail of Isaac - Isaac Master, Upper Church of San Francesco, c. 1290s
This is one of two scenes painted by the “Isaac Master,” an artist who has a different style than any of the other frescos in the upper church. The figures in this Old Testament scene are not the elongated, Byzantine forms, but more reminiscent of Cavallini and Torriti: figures who are sophisticatedly modeled with light and shadow, and drapery that reflects the body underneath it. Some people suggest that this fresco was painted by a young Giotto.
