__**Byzantine art Cambria Madonna 1334 14**__

__**ART CAPTION:**__ This artwork was created on stone they used mainly the colour’s gold to show the meaning and because in this time gold was used mostly on every image. The image is called the Cambria Madonna and the artist is unknown while this image was created in the 13th centuries, 1334 during the Byzantine period. The audience of this photo is anyone that likes religious images. At this time this image had a big influence on people and it attracted 1000 of pilgrims such as dukes Philip the Good in 1457 and Charles the Bold in 1460. This image shows Jesus and Mary turning there heads around slightly and it shows when Jesus is kicking his leg slightly and grasping his mother’s stomach with his left hand and also grasping his mother chin with his right hand. This image to me generates a sense of feeling that Jesus is born and his going to be the chosen one but when looking at this image first thing that comes in my head is he is going to sacrifice his life for us. This image is an appropriate image of Jesus because it shows when he was first born or with his mother it seemed interesting straight away to see the relationship or love he had for her.
