Medieval Banner

This Medieval banner is very typical of the painting style of that time. Here we see the gold background and halos, which alludes to a “worldly” and “heavenly” place. Hierarchy of scale was used frequently to show the most important figures within the painting. Flatness and lack of individuality also is representative of the spiritual place and figures of the painting, as well as, patrons or donors are seen on the outskirts of Mary, praying. The throne is obscure and is not proportionally set within the space. This is also seen through the elongated figures that are not proportionally painted.
