Caravaggio 3


            The Death Of Virgin was made by Caravaggio (M). This is one of M's popular painting that describing or contains Death of Woman, who close to M. The description of The Death of Virgin assumpt that this is the way when woman death. This paintings was refused by the parish. I don't know the reasons why the prish rejected this painting, but according to me this painting showed the time that human being didn't know about it. When this painting was rejected by the parish, it was acquired by the Gonzaga family in Mantua. When M did this painting, during that time, M was involved a sword fight with Ranuccio Tomassoni, and He run from Rome when Death of Virgin had done. This actually the problem that M must faced up because after he killed Tomassoni, the law chased him up.
            Death of Virgin remembered people about the entombment at the Vatican on peacefulness, naturalism, and that express it into photografi. In this painting, people surrounded a virgin woman “Maria Magdalena, who was ready to go with Rosul. People around her just stayed behind her waited for the moment Maria going to her world. They express a big sadness because of her death, but they feel it in their heart. They hid it because according to the painting, people must let her go. All human being will returned back to something tht create them, just like the description of M's painting. M, the master of Canvas painting did not exite with mannerist training which use emotion to express something or feel by heart like sad, love, or hate. For some reason, M just keep silent although he actually felt very sad. That's what M's principle. M's desciption that death will come to us. In M's painting Death of Virgin, M used a large red cloth looms in the upper of the canvas is a characteristic of desposition painting. This painting was done by the time dogma Maria was called to Heaven, but it was not formally enunciated Ex-Cathedra by Paus (The Pope). Altough Ex-Cathedra was not formally enuciated by The Pope, she had had a place for some period. When a person die, the body and soul had accepted. There were a problem about Maria's death. People said that Maria's death was not normal. At that time, there was a belief that Death People was still alive. They just sleep for a while and live for a while. That's catholic belief at that time. And also they said that when Allah raised your body, you did not fell anything, pain, fun, or happy. You became others and you did not in your own body anymore. This kind of belief is relative according to what religion you have, but the famous religion at M's time is mostly Catholic.
            The description of death time is realistic for this problem. M tried to explain about the world afterlife. Maybe it was different from the world you live. What a genius man M was because he can even thought about life afterlife for human being whereas he never come into that world, he never feel it as well, but he can imagine it. Maybe Death of Virgin is also explain about the time of sadness. The time yo must leave everyone surrounded you. When you were in, you can't feel anything from your body, everything that touched you, pain, care, someone spope up, you can not feel it because your body and soul is out of you. And additional information that I have read from internet that M was accused, he out a mistress/prostitute model for his painting. Actually this is one of M;s painting that put a woman as a model of his painting. He usualy out a man as model, adn because of that reason, people said that M is Homo. It means that M like same genre as him. But according to this painting Death of Virgin, the assumption is not clear well to judge M as Homo..
