The image is based, in this manner, on the rule of complementation. The image question, picture, sign, word, and motion require the relationship of certain cognizant thoughts with a specific end goal to completely express what is implied by them. To this degree, it has both a recondite and an exoteric, or a veiling and a noteworthy, work. The revelation of its significance surmises a specific measure of dynamic collaboration. When in doubt, it depends on the tradition of a gathering that concurs upon its importance. All religious articulation is imagery; since we can portray just what we see, and the genuine objects of religion are THE seen. The most punctual instruments of instruction were images, and they and all different religious structures

  • God and Man in Homer’s Iliad, Virgil’s Aeneid, and Dante’s Inferno

    1232 Words  | 3 Pages

    The truest of man’s goals is to create art. Art is a by-product of the gift of man over the animals, creativity. Truly, creativity is a replication of God in man and a very possible interpretation of the Genesis 1:27 phrase “in his own image,” along with others—the possession of an immortal soul or the ability to speak. And creativity’s ultimate end product is art. And art more often than not in the history of man has led man to pay homage to his creator. Three of the classic literary artistic works of mankind, Homer’s Iliad, Virgil’s Aeneid, and Dante’s Inferno, feature—if not focus—on the deity or deities of the respective authors and their relation to the characters of the story in the interaction between the two and the worship practices of the characters.

    The Greek’s images also possessed two important ideas that brought the soul of the artist and subject to the surface while still capturing the passion and action of the movement and story: noble simplicity and quiet grandeur. Greek images contained faces that were full of expression but were also balanced because they were not overcome by pain or passion because they still had nobility of soul which creates a sense of tranquility even in the midst of rage, fervor, or desire.

    As I walked into the first gallery, I saw a wood sculpture that stood in the center of the room. This carving depicted “the crucified Christ, flanked by the Virgin Mary and St. John the Evangelist with Angels holding instruments of the Passion”. It was painted oak and very appealing to the eye. It stood approximately 15 feet in the air. The origin of this sculpture is unknown, but it was found in a Belgium church. This kind of sculpture usually stood at the entrance or at the center of the alter in the church facing the congregation. This image of the suffering Christ relates to the Christian ideas of suffering and Christ’s salvation of all mankind.

  • Transition from the Classical to the Christian Era

    1079 Words  | 3 Pages

    The rise of rational doubt among ancient Greek philosophers lay the groundwork for a dramatic reconceptualization of time and space in the Classical Era. In this paper, I will expose some basic characteristics of the artwork which came out of this era. I will then examine the subsequent rise of Christianity, and how this radical change in the belief system affected the artwork which we see, in turn, from this era.

  • Sistine Chapel Ceiling and The Last Judgment

    In this research paper I will be looking at two different artworks by the same artist. The two I will be looking at are the Sistine Chapel Ceiling (1508-1512) and The Last Judgment (1534). Both of these painting are painted in the Sistine chapel which is located in the Vatican. I am going to attempt to evaluate these two pieces of art painted by Michelangelo and explain the cultural and religious aspects of them. I will also look to other scholars to get their perspective and their reactions to the paintings. The last step of my research will be to formulate a theory about the relationship between culture and religion and use my topic to help defend my theory.

  • Iconoclasm and Iconophilia in Othello

    4015 Words  | 9 Pages

    In his book War Against the Idols, Carlos Eire argues that iconoclastic resistance to the Medieval Catholic Church began with the gentle scolding of Erasmus and ended as the "shibboleth" of radical Calvinism.1 The use of images in religious instruction and practice was one of the major points of dispute between Protestant reformers and Catholic counter-reformers. Iconoclasm was certainly not confined to radical Calvinism; Anglican reformers, especially those who had spent time in continental Europe as exiles (like John Jewel, Bishop of Salisbury), quickly raised the issue in their country, which had its own unique history of religious reform. The discussions of image and idolatry in Calvin and Jewel represent particular theories of the image that derive from but also revise ancient Platonic theories of the image. Reformation iconoclasm brings up issues of ontology (who or what is God?), epistemology (by what means are we to know him? can he be represented to human senses?), and ethics (how does knowledge of God translate into moral action?). Protestant iconoclasts tend to emphasize the epistemological worth (or rather, worthlessness) of religious imagery, while the Catholic iconophiles emphasize the positive moral effects to be derived from the use of images in religious instruction.

  • Comparing The Calf-Bearer And The Good Shepherd

    If you were to look at the Calf-Bearer and the Good Shepherd, you would immediately be able to point out some similarities. They have the same form and both figures are carrying a lamb on their shoulders. These qualities alone make the connection between these two statues ,and the influence of ancient Greek art on early Christian art, unarguable. However, by truly scrutinizing each facet of these two sculptures, one can see in detail the exact characteristics that have been carried over from the classical Greek art to the more modern Christian art.

  • The Cultural Image Of The Virgin Mary

    922 Words  | 2 Pages

    The one cultural image that has constantly grabbed my attention would be of the Virgin Mary. It is not unusual to go into a Catholic Spanish family’s home and see a statue or portrait of the image of the Virgin Mary. She represents so much courage and the only sacred mother that has represented what it means to withstand suffering. For me, the Virgin’s image has always made me feel humbled and childlike. The Virgin Mary has been a constant image that has been portrayed in all of the places I have lived in growing up and still remains this way, in my home. She has been the image I have seen in my family members’ homes and especially in my grandmother’s home, when she was still alive. She was the icon that we would stare at, once we caught a glimpse of her either on a wall or on top of a shelf, while attempting to hold an idle conversation as if though we would have two dialogues, one in our mind with the Virgin Mary and a literal one with the person you came to visit, for instance.

  • Art Is Important To Religion

    When the religious art leaks out of the religious community and into the broader world of culture, it is one of the ways the meaning of the art can evolve. This is also an opportunity for the art to draw the world to religion. Moreover, artistic reinterpretation of sacred imagery can help keep religion honest. The church has always been enriched by the tension that comes with diversity in art. Art is communication and effective art communicates effectively to any group at any level.
