This sculpture was created by Alonso Berruguete.He was born in Palencia, he was the son of Pedro Berruguete and died in Toledo.He traveled to Italy to study the artistic tendencies and knew first hand the work of Miguel Angel, Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci, Sansovino and Lippi.His creation expresses its strong character, with images of high drama, in which dominates spirituality, sensationalism and realism.The Benedictines from the convent of San Benito commissioned to Alonso Berruguete the realization of a great altarpiece for the monastery.

Wood, plaster finish and thin layer of clay then polychromed, especially flesh tones polished final finish.

Great realism and chrome plated nature is observed.It is presented in a very expressive waythe pain is the fundamental.Isaac, appears with a front legreposing his weight on one pierna and then 

there is a tension in the muscles in the legs and arms.Isaac is dressed in a tunic on his shoulder of th golden color and there are reliefs with geometric shapes.The son has really expressive face.The colors of the work offer realism, a play of shadows that emphasize the muscles and facial expressions.The function of sculpture is decorative because the Benedictines ordered to the sculpture for the altarpiece.The theme of the sculpture is religious because it represents Abraham just about to slay his son.Alonso Berruguete had the characteristics of the Renaissance and Mannerism and was one of the most important Spanish Renaissance.One of the important works that he realized  was the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian,the sculpture has the same style and characteristics of the offering of Isaac.

CONCLUSION
The sculpture represent and perceived the Renaissance characteristics  very well, faces express feelings and emotions such as pain and sculpture has great realism with muscles and expressions.It's amazing how we can see the strength and pressure on the muscles, had to be very difficult,make precises characteristics and details.

THE GIOCONDA

 GIOCONDA

INTRODUCTION

Tittle:Gioconda.
Author:Leonardo Da Vinci.

Style:Italian Renaissance.

Timeline: 1503-1519.

ANALYSIS

Technical and support  of frame is oil on panel.The combination of aerial perspective and technique sfumatto get a great three-dimensional sense of depth.Contrast between light and shadow. Much clarity and bright light in the features of the Gioconda.They are gray and blue hues to emphasize remoteness and create an atmospheric effect,dark greenish brown hues for the hair and clothing and light yellow hue and shone in the rest of the skin.There symmetry, the composition is balanced.The function of this work is decorative and is in the Louvre.Leonardo is not intended to portray only in a superficial way, but wants to emerge feelings and soul, and it succeeds.The official title of the work is Gioconda, which is justified because Giocondo was the name of the husband of the sitter, Lisa Gherardini.
This work belongs to the Renaissance and the stage of the Cinquecento.

CONCLUSION
La Gioconda is the most important in the world of painting work, I like this painting because it has much to tell. Its author Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most important authors of the Renaissance.
