Understanding Of Ornament In The Italian Renaissance By Clare Lapraik Guest

With Saul in particular, we have typology of the Antichrist and Christ side-by-side. Scripture says, “The women sang as they played, and said, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands.’” (1 Sam. 8:7) David here is a type of Christ who would later have His own triumphal entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey. (John 12:14-15) The foremost and consummate antichrist type in the Bible is Antiochus Epiphanes. In the book, “The Understanding of Ornament in the Italian Renaissance”, by Clare Lapraik Guest, the author states that his processions, “contained temporal allegories and robed statues of the gods plus mythological scenes.” In 168 B.C. he conquered Jerusalem and built an idol to the god, Jupiter in the Jewish temple.

The Jewish temple is to honor the sacred name of Jehovah. 1 Kings 9:3 says, “I have consecrated this house which you have built by putting My name there forever.” In the zenith of his power, the Antichrist will stand up in this same temple erected to give glory to the name of the Lord, and proclaim himself as God while he blasphemes the name of God in heaven. Jesus said that Israel will put their trust in one who comes in his own name. Both Daniel and even Genesis teach that the Antichrist will be a man who is a rabid builder of buildings and will put his name on them. He’s obsessed with himself and the glory of his name. Donald Trump is that man. Nobody on this planet is more obsessed with their name than Donald Trump. He puts it on EVERYTHING. In his financial disclosure form, no less than 268 companies are listed starting with the name, TRUMP. His name is splashed (most often in gold) on numerous hotels, golf courses, casinos, homes, various products like perfume, food, steaks, wine, water, vodka, publications, interior design, t.v. shows, beauty pageants, football leagues, wrestling, airlines and dining. It’s endless. The name, in and of itself, generates millions of dollars. The name, TRUMP is trademarked. If your last name is Trump and you want to get into real estate, better pick a name different than your own because you can’t use TRUMP. The name is even leased out for use. People will just buy the use of the name so that they can stick it on the outside of their building, business, or

    In “Painting and Experience in Fifteenth Century Italy” by Michael Baxandall, he emphasizes the relationship between the patron and the artist when creating a piece of work during that time. The Patron played an important role in the creation of many pieces in public places such as churches, and many had different reasons as to why they commissioned these works of art. When an artist and patron enter an agreement, most of the time they would keep contact and had a more personal relationship(in a way that they would contact each other frequently). The patron would list their requirements for the painting such as the materials they would like to use, and the artists would come up with a form of contract. These contracts differ from artist to…

    During the Renaissance period of the 14th to 17th century, art and architecture between Northern Europe and Italy were both similar and different in many ways. From the detailed work of everyday life of the North to the Neoplatonic allegories of Italian work, the Renaissance was a time of transition and strength. The most dominant similarity between Northern European and Italian Renaissance artwork lies behind the meaning of humanism. During the Renaissance, there was “rebirth of culture”; a shift towards people acknowledging human achievement. In religious pieces of art, Jesus was seen as less Godly and more human-like with emotion.…

    Donald Trump is known to be a very well-known businessman and if he can run many businesses and a half great monetary value then why can't he run office? A person that can handle this amount of business and has the credibility of being a person that can create these type of businesses should be able to handle being president and commander-in-chief .Donald Trump is not the right person to be elected president of the United States, because he is very unpredictable and lacks political experience. Just because a person owns businesses or has a hotel that does not mean that they are able to handle the lives of millions of people in the United States. It takes more than being rich and wealthy to be the president of the United States it takes compassion and critical thinking these are two things that Donald Trump lacks.…

    The foremost and consummate antichrist type in the Bible is Antiochus Epiphanes. In the book, “The Understanding of Ornament in the Italian Renaissance”, author Clare Lapraik Guest, states that his processions, “contained temporal allegories and robed statues of the gods plus mythological scenes.” In 168 B.C. he conquered Jerusalem, and inside the Jewish temple, slaughtered a pig on an idol he built to the god, Jupiter. In referencing the Abomination of Desolation in the book of Daniel, Christ linked the Antichrist to Antiochus (Mark 13:14). Antichrist — like Antiochus before him — will also set up an idol in the future temple in Jerusalem and sacrifice to it.…

It consists of a gable which originally comes from a triangular shape that is placed above a horizontal structure which is supported by columns. The semi-circular/triangular decorative wall surface called the tympanum was often decorated with a sculpture technique called the relief sculpture where the sculptures are attached to a solid background that portrays scenes from the Greek and Roman mythology figures. There are three parts to a pediment; broken pediment, segmental pediment, and an open pediment. The broken pediment is shaped as a triangle with an open tip, where for the segmental pediment, it is shaped as half a circle with closed ends.…
