Storm On Galilee

I think the artist is able to communicate the bad condition of the ship and its crew is in. The mood of the work is scary and gloomy. The design and intensity of the waves, the changing weather, and the ships in the ocean seem to make the scene come alive. It really conveys a since of naturalism in the painting the way it depicts the environment around the ship.

I chose to study and analyze J.M.W. Turner’s Slave Ship for this project and found it to be very interesting. Immediately while looking at the piece you get a strong sense of emotion and drama that is being portrayed. There is a lot of depth and warmth in the colors that are used and wide swift brush strokes to create the images. The first image that caught my eye was of waves crashing on the left side of the painting. The white tips of the waves are very noticeable against the softer shades of the ocean. Behind the waves is a ship which is the next part of the painting that drew my attention. The ship seems to be caught in the rough waves of the sea and barely able to keep afloat. There is a glimmer of light from the sun peeking through

The centerpiece of the piece is obviously Mary, though she is on the right side of the painting. In one hand she holds an open bible, and she holds her other hand up in prayer while she is looking down with her eyes almost completely shut. She has a halo surrounding her head as gold rays shine down on her

One of the most effective principles Paolo de Matteis uses in this painting is his use of lines and invisible lines to direct the viewer’s attention to the child in his mother’s arms. The shepherds and their animals, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph are all instances of invisible lines in this painting, as their outstretched hands and lines of vision are all pointing to the baby Jesus. For example, the three women and the child kneeling to the bottom right side of the manger are all staring or pointing to the upper left, toward Jesus. Moving to the upper right corner of the painting, the ox and the donkey are directing their gaze to the bottom left, once again at Jesus. The two men to the right of the animals also point in that direction. In the top and center, Mary and Joseph watch their child, creating yet another invisible line pointing toward the point of emphasis, while the angels

Who is this man that the storms obey him? At this point in the Gospel of Mark we have followed Jesus in other miracles such as healing Peter’s mother-in-law, healing a man with an unclean spirit, and cleansing a man of leprosy along with other miracles. August 28th 2005, Louisiana and Mississippi were affected by hurricane Katrina. 80 percent of New Orleans along with parishes close by were flooded not receding back for weeks. Evacuation was necessary for the people of New Orleans. The superdome and convention center were filled as shelter for the residents. Help was needed for the people of New Orleans to survive and many people were desperate. Storms are not a joke they can be something very serious.

Perhaps the most technically impressive aspect of the painting is its remarkable three-dimensionality. Rembrandt is well known for his strikingly accurate portrayal of human shape and form, and this painting lives up to such reputation. With the use of oil paint, he was able to carefully and selectively layer color to create an astonishing representation of the human figure. The most alluring aspect of the piece, in terms of modeling technique, is the face. It contains so much detail; it is hard to believe this painting was done by hand. From the light, wispy texture of the facial hair to the subtle wrinkles surrounding the eyes, attention to detail is what sets this portrait far above many others. Rembrandt’s playful chiaroscuro on the nose and right hand truly give the piece a sense of depth, and the painterly quality of the piece produces a soft and elegant look. Also present within the face is the famous Rembrandt triangle. The result of a specific lighting technique frequently used by Rembrandt, a small triangle is formed underneath the eyes. It is present under the left eye in Marten’s portrait, which gives his face a more natural look. Another technique that intensifies the three-dimensionality of the visible body parts is the use of

Larson is a nonfiction writer who has written a number of bestselling books. Isaac’s storm is about the worst natural disaster in U.S. history and the arrogance of man. This story touched on man’s decision to ignore the signs of the upcoming storm and the warnings from others. Man’s technological advances at the turn of the century thus protruded this arrogance that “a hurricane could never hit Texas.” This arrogance led to their downfall.

According to the website Exploring Thomas Cole, there are different types of allegories in this painting. The first allegory is the hourglass that is in the boat. The hourglass is meant to represent time, the second allegory is the river, which is meant to represent the stream of life, and the third allegory is the flower, which is an Egyptian lotus, which Cole described as "symbolical of Human Life." Finally the cave that the infant and the angel are coming out of according to Thomas Cole is an "emblematic of our earthly origin, and the mysterious Past." Cole uses different types of light and dark colors it gives the painting a different look, the light colors fade and so does the dark colors, this is called chiaroscuro. Perspective was also used in this painting; different parts of the painting have different sizes giving us a sense of depth.

The outline of the painting is contrast of dark dull depressing colors. These colors will help make the white pop out to show some symbols. The colors on the background and the people's clothing have a mixture of blue, light blue, orange, red, and brown. This helps enhances the pale skin, the background sky, and the flying soul.

In What Stands in a Storm, Kim Cross utilizes imagery, personification, and figurative language to powerfully depict the destructive force of nature and the bonding power of love. Many storms have destroyed lives, but the way that Cross describes these tornadoes, and the love that people use to get over the effects of the tornadoes; she makes it much more beautiful than most people could ever imagine a tornado being. Storms don't always just destroy lives, they can also bring people together. The reason she wrote this book was to inform people of the tragic effects of the April 27th tornadoes, she did not want the people who died to be forgotten.

In this painting, he is being accused by the woman to the soldier. Caravaggio portrays the story of the Denial of St. Peter, as told in all four Gospels (Matthew, John, Luke, Mark) of the Bible. When Jesus was arrested, he prophesied that Peter, his disciple would denounce his name

location this painting depicts. It seems to be of biblical nature, as both people in the

The painting The ship of Patience was created by an unknown 18th-century painter in Cuzco, Peru. The purpose of the painting seems to demonstrate the movement and expansion of Christianity overseas. The striking angelic figure in the sky shows a clear contrast with the frightening devils on the ground. By labeling each figure and person the painter was able to create an easy visual image for the natives to learn from. Without knowing anything about Christianity the painting clearly has Jesus Christ in the sole center person of the painting. There aren’t just holy, famous people on the boat with him, there are people with diseases and those that look like workers. It is demonstrating the open and loving beliefs and image of Christianity.

Throughout history religion has been taught by art. The Christian religion especially, teaches about their religion through stories or parables. Some of these stories have been turned into art to further the understanding of the story. Many Christian artists have showed Christ’s life through paintings. Carl Bloch had the opportunity to paint the life of Christ for the Frederiksborg Castle church. They showed his birth to the Virgin Mary and his death on the cross. These paintings also show what he did on earth. Christ taught and healed many people. Some of his paintings are alter pieces for the church. The size of these paintings invites its viewers to experience the story in the painting and apply it to themselves. In the painting Christ Healing at the Pool of Bethesda by Carl Bloch, it is portrayed that even in times of darkness and despair Christ is there to help people.
