  • Frontispiece of: Gilio, Giovanni Andrea, Due dialogi (1564), Camerino : Antonio Giojoso

    On the appropriate opportunities for painters to show their skills



    Having previously criticised the graceful representation of the body of Christ in the Passion, the participants in the dialogue now offer the artist options in which he can demonstrate his skill, according to the iconography he is trying to represent.

  • Mary and St. John the Baptist praying to Christ at the Last Judgement



    Molanus defies the depiction of the Holy Mary and St.John the Baptist praying at the feet of Christ at the Final Judgement, since it is based on the false assumption of mediating for the dead.
