Comparing Movements and Works of Art

Select two works of art, each from a different movement. Select movements that you have not previously addressed in your discussions.

In your paper,

• Describe these two works of art by applying at least three questions art historians ask and four words art historians use.
• Explain how iconographic, historical, political, philosophical, religious, and social factors of the movements are reflected in each work of art.
• Include images of both works of art in an appendix at the end of your paper.

Your paper must be three pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages and images.
