Automatically you are able to see that the painting pertains to a religious subject, the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. A prominent subject directly in the Gospels of the New Testament. In the left panel, St. John the Evangelist and the Virgin Mary are visible in the back with a group of grieving women at their feet (Pritchard). In the right panel, the Roman soldiers are preparing the two thieves to be crucified next to Jesus Christ as told by the narrative (Pritchard). Lastly, in the central…
the things that Jesus said during his time on earth but for me I generally reference the other gospels more frequently then the book of Mark. Now after reading it again and remembering that Mark was with Peter and Paul I’m wondering if it’s not the Peter influence in Mark’s writing that makes it less organized for me. I love the other books of the Bible that Paul wrote and have studied them intensively over the years. I’m accustomed to Paul’s writing style and thought process,…
There are many interpretations of this scripture. The author, Mark Batterson (Batterson), gives an interesting and comedic interpretation of it. Batterson’s analysis states the bottle was representative of several things such as her past guilt and future hope, professional identity and financial security, a token of her profession of faith and her most prized possession. The pouring of the oil bottle was representative of what once kept her in sin was now going to release and free her. The…
artwork that I chose to talk about today is a magnificent altarpiece, named “The Crucifixion; The Last Judgment” by artist Jan van Eyck. Created in the early Renaissance period, both The Crucifixion and The Last Judgment were done in two separate panels. The theme and the title of this diptych were based upon a true event of Christian Bible. In The Crucifixion part we see, Jesus's redemptive suffering and death by Crucifixion, representing critical aspects of Christian theology. While, The Last…

When Jesus was on earth, spreading the word of salvation, he chose twelve men to accompany him. We call theses men the twelve disciples.Each of the 12 disciples had a key part in the spreading of the gospel and the building of the church. The names of the twelve disciples are: John, James, Peter, James the Lesser, Matthew, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Simon, Thaddeus, and Judas. These men, for the most part, stood by Jesus, and without them we might not have the bible stories we have…
Italy c.1550 and died on February 1, 1598. His work “The lamentation” is a religious painting in nature done of oil in canvas that portrays a detailed scene from the Bible. In his work, Pulzone portrayed the moment in which Jesus Crist was removed from the cross after his crucifixion as you can perceive it by looking at part of the cross in between the two wood ladders in the background and the crown of thorn being held by Saint…
with a realistic (and brutal) depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. No, it’s not the only film to bring the event to life on either the big or small screen, yet it arguably did it the best. And, in the years following the release of The Passion, it’s become crystal clear that there’s a demand to digest such a story – and those like it. Now, we have a film that attempts to depict - albeit in semi-fictitious fashion, the childhood of a young Jesus Christ……

Mark has a particular style of setting the scene of Jesus death. We are going to examine how Mark puts a dramatic emphasis in the death of Jesus Christ. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the climax of Mark’s dramatic narration. In addition, Mark tells the story in such an ambiguous way for the purpose of the reader to make their own inferences. In the gospel of mark, the narration mentions that there were bystanders provoking Jesus to drink the sour wine while mocking him. Notice,…
