Italian renaissance artists Santi di Tito’s Madonna and Child with Saint John the Baptist and Mirabello Carabori’s The Madonna and Child with Saints Anne and the Infant John the Baptist exhibit many similarities. Sharing such obvious qualities as their religious subject manner they both utilize different basic techniques to convey different emotions. Tito’s work displays vertical placement of it’s subjects, leading your eye from Maddona, down to the children, and finally on the lamb a symbol of purity.  Tito plays strongly off of atmospheric perspective, drawing the eye to the naturalism of its foreground subjects. These characters are shown in a bright lighting and playful delicate manner to convey a message of hope and purity.

On the other hand Carabori’s composition is a horizontal placement of subjects- drawing your eye across the page and giving the characters a cold distance to each other. Carabori uses a darker color scheme in this painting to convey a more sorrowful and idolized message. Again though, as is common in the renaissance era, the artist showcases his great decivery skills of perception with a depthfull background using atmospheric perspective.
