Visibility

In this reading we see how a visual perspective of artwork can really bring our minds into the story or picture and try to grasp a better understanding of what is happening. It states in the excerpt "High Fantasy" Although I do not know what the author actually means here I can take a pretty good guess. We have to use or imaginative side of our brains to try and create a picture of scene in our mind so we can better understand what we are reading or looking at.

This story is about Dante and his journey through hell and what he finds and comes face to face with during his journey. We see Dante's different journeys and different people he comes in play with. We the Ignatius of Loyola helping Dante through his journey.

Many works of art were becoming more advanced due to modernism and industrialization that was also happening in the world. Tools got more advanced and there was a lot more artwork being made and sold. The biggest influences in this pre modernism era was music and commercializing.
