Fwd: Copernicus - Sprague, McDowell, Meyers, Jolly - Art Interpretation


All of these artworks take place in medieval times in Europe. This seems like a time of war and little peace or harmony. 

The first painting is of a war fought with archery. There is a castle in the background so this could be about conflicting kings or kingdoms. 

The second painting is of another battle or war fought with both swords and archery. This war is between England and France, possibly about kingdoms or land. 

The third painting is of many people taken as prisoners and tortured or harmed by some type of authority. The painting interprets the scene as chaotic and dark. 

The last painting is of the Bubonic Plague or "Black Death". These people are very sickly and will most likely die. They both have many pocks and are pale and seem to be unable to move. The doctor doesn't know what to do but to reach out spiritually, at least that's what the painting portrays.
