In the very front of the painting there is a woman in all blue that is shown to be falling over, her posture and the use of a bright distinct color, blue, allows the onlooker to realize that the woman is Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.

of both Greek periods? 2. Compare this sculpture to David. How are the two sculptures similar and how are they different in intent, subject matter and mastery? Which one do you prefer? Why?
