  2. Space and Setting • Linear perspective is used to create depth. Vanishing point is out of the painting. • It’s a typical Florentine street, contemporary buildings and naturalistic landscape. • Classical building and background may refer to Jerusalem as the city of the Biblical story.

  3. Composition • The figures are on the right side of the painting and only takes up half of the painting(horizontally). • The blind and the crippled creates eye movement diagonally going up towards St Peter.

  4. Light • Light coming from the right side. -Realistic -Shadows -Adds depth into the painting although shadows in setting make it look flat and unrealistic.

  5. Colour • Natural and earthy colours • Clothing e.g -blue represents royalty -gold represents divinity and heaven -red represents martyrdom • Realistic colouring

  6. Form • Solid forms • Classical buildings and architecture • 3D tonal modelling

  7. Evidence of Humanism • Naturalistic landscape/setting • Linear perspective • Classical architecture • Anatomically correct figures • Logical • Natural facial expressions

  8. Iconography • Blue: royalty, shows St Peter as a high authority • Gold: heavenly/divine and important • Haloes: heavenly figure • Red: passion • Hand gestures/kneeling: Praises and idealises St Peter.

  9. Good Citizen Theme • The moral behind the painting is to initiate to help other peoples and not expecting anything in return.
