Answer the following question in 3-4 complete sentences. Define the terms overlapping and foreshortening. How has Andrea Mantegna used these two concepts to create the painting above entitled, The Lamentation over the Dead Christ?
Overlapping occurs when one form partially covers another, helping show which objects are in front and creating depth. Foreshortening makes a form appear compressed when it extends toward or away from the viewer. Mantegna overlaps the mourners and draped fabric around Christ’s body to create a sense of space. He uses dramatic foreshortening to show Christ’s body receding from his feet in the foreground toward his head in the background.
