    The beautiful gold and attention made so eye catching that I had to write about. It’s a wonderful piece of artwork and it would be perfect to stand inside of a church.

The colors of each of their clothing are quite intense adding to the energy of the scene. There is also a mix of warm and cool tones throughout the painting, which adds the disorder of the painting. Another important aspect of the painting is the use of color in the middle ground and background.…

Through the use of powerful symbols, Tennessee Williams and Nino Ricci emphasize the of innocence in Laura Wingfield…

    So it was that early in the middle ages, a small town banded together and created one of the greatest Christian sanctuaries the world has ever known. In many ways, it would set the standard for all other gothic cathedrals: It is the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres. Chartres Cathedral stands on a hill above the river Eure, in the town of Chartres. Its spires rise like beacons on the horizon, and can bee seen miles away. Today, its majestic carved towers and facades project a mediaeval splendor in what has become an increasingly modern town.…
