Which of the following artists used his creations to try to teach lessons of morality to viewers?

Question

A. Mazzoal
B. Tintoretto
C. Raphael
D. Bosch

Answer 1

What does your book say?

Answer 2

i think it is Bosch because it says " Bosch's pictures were meant to be viewed in two ways--as stories and as symbolic messages. His stories clearly focused on the subject of good and evil"
For Tintoretto it just says he was able to combine the goals of mannerism with a venetial love of color.

Answer 3

Then your answer must be Bosch. :-)

Answer 4

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12640c.htm Well, the Roman Catholics like him and his moral character.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raphael#Drawings

Notice the other master of the time was Michangelo, who painted male , which was not in taste in that time. In the Sistine Chapel, the Church heiarchy made him put fig leafs in those places. Raphael painted images of the female body, which was in "taste" during those times.
Such is life.

Answer 5

And a comment on Bosch. He had a great imagination (living in Holland during the Witch Persecutions) of visualizing evil spirits, and he depected them as grotesque things with human parts and other parts. He ran this theme over and over. But frankly, he viewed the consequences of sin in his paintings as hell on Earth, rather than after-life. I am not certain preaching or drawing this is making any views toward teaching morality but rather presenting good and evil as Earth images. I don't see the beauty in it, and at the time, beauty was considered high morality. Others might disagree with me on this, but I don't equate good and evil images as teaching morality. http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977455139
