    Preacher Jonathan Edwards was able to give a sermon that greatly impacted others. Despite his monotonous voice and actions, he was able to strike fear into the hearts of many Puritans, solely through his diction and elaborate use of imagery. The figurative language present throughout his speech could have been represented in several ways, including an image based on his descriptions of the human relationship with God. There were many sketches that illustrated the speech by Jonathan Edwards very well; however, one sketch in particular accurately brought the speech to life.…

    Art critic, John Berger, says, “Reproduction isolates a detail of a painting from the whole”(Berger 154). This seems like a very candid and closed minded view of what reproduction is. This simply gives an example of what reproductions can look like and not what reproduction really is. What does he think about reproduction that puts a more modern perspective on an old piece of art? Well, that is exactly what Rodrigo Lara Zendejas does with her piece, Crowd Gate.…

    The major difference between the Maestà and the Sistine Ceiling are the surfaces in which each painting was painted on. For example, the Maestà resides upon a flat, two-sided wall which allows for public viewing of one side while utilizing the opposite side for special occasions. This wall also serves as an altarpiece in the Cathedral of Siena, employing the flat surface to effectively divide the wall into an easily comprehensible story. Yet, with the Sistine Ceiling, painted upon the curved ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, this is not the case as not only does it require people to look up to view, it also isn’t sectioned as clearly as the Maestà. However, it uses the ceiling to its advantage, making the painting more grandiose, as if one was…

    Moreover, the Painter cared about becoming famous that he cut his trip to Heaven short. It is similar to how we describe Heaven; we write poetry, paint landscapes, and create books to describe Heaven, but experiencing it for real captures our eyes.

    Standing alone in a case in the middle of an upper level gallery room, one will find a humbly sized diptych, which vibrantly grabs the attention of anyone who passes it. To a knowing viewer, it becomes almost immediately evident that this is the work of none other than Jan van Eyck himself. This piece juxtaposes two biblical scenes commonly depicted by Renaissance artists, but with a Netherlandish attention to detail, as well as other formal elements endemic to van Eyck’s style. These components include an emphasis on highly saturated colors, a strong use of spatial elements, and highly realistic physical renderings of the subjects depicted.…

    Overall, we see the main comparisons between the two gardens being, in the mist of all the beauty it portrays evil still lingers. With this being inferred we begin to see the characters as Bible characters. Rappiccinni as God, for he created The Garden of Eden, like Rappiccinni created this garden. This is kind of ironic though since God was not a creator or evil.…

    Seven wedge-like shapes can be seen surrounding a portrait of Christ, who is displaying his wounds to the viewer, a ring of light encompasses around Christ and radiates out. Within the corners of the canvas are perfectly circular images depicting the “four last things”, Heaven, Hell, the Last Judgement and finally death. When viewed in its entirety the composition is revealed to be the eye of God; giving the viewer the impression that God is ever-watching. The wedge-like shapes demonstrate within them each sin; some which can be easily identified, the iconography being obvious and tame, another indication that this could potentially be an early work of Bosch, as it is a strong contrast to what has become synonymous with Bosch’s work who is widely credited with being the first surrealist with his depictions of bizarre creatures and strange…

    Behind Adam and Eve on the left side of the painting coming out of what could possibly be the entrance to the Garden of Eden are lines aimed towards the backs of Adam and Eve. Perhaps Masaccio used these lines to represent God's voice, as he casts out Adam and Eve, without having to give God a human body but still exhibiting the power and anger that God is forcing upon Adam and Eve. The last main detail for this painting is the third figure in the painting that is right above Adam and Eve dressed in pink and floating atop a pink cloud; this figure Eden Cherubim placed by God to protect the tree of life with its sword of flames…

    The painting’s main focus appears to be centered on relationships. The background of the image is dark, drawing more attention to Adam, Eve, the serpent, and the tree. The focus on the main characters in this painting implies the significance of the role that relationships played in the fall. There is barely any space between Adam and Eve in the painting, instead Adam is positioned near Eve and consequently, he is also near the serpent. In this case, although Adam and Eve are close, they are also close to evil.…

    For many, there is a point of no return for being able to make into that golden place known as Heaven. The people try and try to make themselves in a way “good” again by doing anything anyone asks. Christ wants nothing less than to send people to Heaven but if one cannot abide by all of his rules then he will not send them to that place. In the painting, it is very easy to pick out Jesus Christ and Mary since the two are located in the middle of the painting as well as there is some sort of glow shining behind them.…

    The Celts were also heavy in using Priests, the priests preformed many duties amongst the villages and preformed several ceremonies that were sacred to the Celtic culture. Just as the Christians have priests, the Christians use priests in everything that has to do with the church. Marrying, blessings, and other sacred duties that would require a certain priesthood to carry out.

This isn’t like the Christian death process but the moral code the Celts created runs a long the same line the of the Christian moral code.…
