- TAKE A LOOK AT THE PAINTING, IT WAS A VERY SPEC COMM, HE WAS EXPECTED TO DO THE STS INTERVENING AT FUNERAL, AND A HEAVENLY GLORY ABOVE, TURNS IT INTO A REALLY GREAT STATEMENT OF COUTNER REF THEOLOGY
- so heavenly realm, abstract, transcendent, not materila because not the material realm—immaterial—elongated proportions, etc., so kind of mannerist mode, but here with an expressive purpose, transendence, immateriality, as opposed to more material, realism at bottom
- lower level material--so focus on textures, realistic portrayal of the people
