Vault 3: Noah (fig. 8 & 9)
The story focuses here on Adam’s descendant: Noah and the scene of The Building of the Ark. The builders represented in this scene are the sons of Noah, carpenters.
The second scene, The Flood, represent the action of God flooding the corrupt humanity as he had announced to Noah. We can easily see the humanity destined to be wipe out, struggling in the water, while Noah and his family are floating on the ark on the horizon. It appears here that Raphael had placed the most dynamic scenes in the second and third paintings as we have noticed before.
The next scene painted is The Leaving of the Ark, followed by The Sacrifice of Noah, where Noah sacrifices and offers to God, accompanied by his sons, a goat.

Jacob’s Dream: in order to escape his brother’s vengeance, Jacob leaves his native land to go to Egypt: while walking in the desert, he faints and falls, his head hit a rock; what we see is a ladder reaching the top of the sky, with angels going up and down.
The second painting is The Meeting of Jacob and Rachel, when Jacob meets his uncle’s (Laban) daughter, Rachel, and falls in love with her. There is a second girl who is believed to be Rachel’s sister, Leah, but I cannot tell who is who. Laban is represented with a beard here: it is interesting to recall a remark by Nicole Dacos who notices Jacob is represented without any beards in the following or previous paintings : she explains that by an error of one of Raphael’s pupils who was charged to paint that painting, reinforcing the idea of Raphael giving them enough autonomy
Was Raphael responsible for the design of the Loggia?
Also, talking about the origin of the project raises the controversial question to what extend Raphael was responsible for the design of the Loggia. No one really knows or agrees to give a unique answer because no one knows how much independence was allowed to the assistants working for

The first painting is The Finding of Moses: at the time where the Pharaoh had ordered the drowning of all Hebrew male babies, one mother could not perform that and left her baby in a basket on the Nile. Discovered by a Pharaoh’s daughter, that baby was Moses.
Following with The Burning Bush, Raphael shows us the story of Moses who finds a burning bush. While burning, he notices that the bush actually doesn’t consume: it is the Eternal One, who reveals to be God asking Moses to return to Egypt and get back the children of Israel to the land of Canaan.
Surprisingly, Raphael decided not to paint some of the famous passages of Moses’s life: the 10 plagues of Egypt for example.
The Passage of the Red Sea is the third painting: once Moses had gathered the children of Israel, God helps them at a point by dividing the Red Sea and letting them pass through it. The story would tell us how the Red Sea closed up when Pharaoh and his army followed Moses, metaphorically eating the army. The orange column is a pillar of fire, sending by God to lead Moses through the
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
Both paintings represent the Madonna (the Virgin Mary) with the baby Jesus on her lap. In the previous painting, the arch vault and throne on which the mother is seated is stylized very realistically along with the saints surrounding them are all in proportion to themselves and to each other. In the later painting the pose of the Madonna is elongated and exaggerated, the baby in the later painting is quite large and the angels in the picture are crammed to one side with a "prophet" on the opposite which is very small not coming up to the Madonna's knee.
The first thing I noticed is a young two to four years old white boy on the right side of the painting. His left arm is around a male lion, and his right hand is holding a stick with some blue berries that resemble like grapes. At his right food is female lion and lamb laying on grass. Behind the lioness and the lamb is a hollow trunk of half a tree with yellow tree, a vine with the blue grape-like berries, green bushes, and hill that has orange tree and hollow tree trunk. On the boy’s left side is a white goat with black spots and leopard laying down on the dirt ground. Behind the male lion is a
In “Noah Count and the Arkansas Ark”, Gary Blackwood demonstrates the value of education and how the narrators’ point of view regarding his family’s lack of education changes over the course of the story. This story could demonstrate the story of Noah’s Ark, from the Bible. At the beginning of the story, the author demonstrates the family’s lack of education and how the people in his community thought that his father didn’t know what he was doing. By the end of the story, the narrators’ perspective of his family’s lack of education has changed.
Elizabeth Proctor is a developing character throughout the movie because, when the movie begins she more of this quiet, sophisticated, well behaved woman who is very loyal and true to her word and has never told a lie in her life. Goody Proctor in my opinion didn’t really change until the end of the movie when I thought she would dish John Proctor because of his affair with Abigail but she is loving and forgiving which a side I never expected to see. Abigail in my opinion is fully the blame of how all this started in the first place.
The very first detail that stands out to me is the expression on the face of Jeremiah. This face is a very distinct one of sadness and almost distaste for his current life and he appears to be bored, which is why he is resting his head on his hand. Also his eyes seem to be preoccupied looking at something off of the view of the painting which could be inferred as him longing for something that he is not able to have, hence why it is not in the frame of the painting.
They seem like they are wearing their wedding outfits. The existence of both the baby and their outfits gave me the idea that the women was pregnant before their marriage and the reason they married was the pregnancy. The painting also has 2 people in the background covered in shadows. Those 2 people seem to be wearing party hats, they look like they are there to celebrate the birth of the baby or the wedding. However, the one in the right side of the painting looks like he has some sinister intentions, I believe that he wants to take the baby
The painting on the left with the African American man sitting down reading a Bible is called The Lord Is My Shepherd and it was painted by Eastman Johnson in the year 1863.
In “Genesis” there is another story within it, I had read called Noah’s Ark. As everyone knows or should know that in Noah’s Ark there was a flood. God has seen and had noticed how chaotic and wicked everything was. What God wanted to do was erase any sort of life on what we call Earth. His purpose was not to destroy human life, but wipe take out the all the sin. In the midst of it all there was one man, Noah, among them all that God had
The painting is called Judith and Holofernes, the painting shows how a woman is holding down a man’s head down on a mattress with one hand while she was holding a gleaming sword at his throat. Her partner is holding the man’s torso down so he could not get up. The dying man is Holofernes, an enemy to the Israelites in the Old Testament. The young woman who is murdering him is Judith his divinely appointed assassin. This doesn’t only represent the woman in the painting but it also represents the artist, Holofernes is Agosto Tassi while Judith is Artemisia herself.
Imagine yourself as not belonging in your own home, never feeling that you belong. The films’ “Canadian-ness” lies in the way the characters and cultural types are expressed in the cinematic features such as the narrative, characterization, setting, dialogue, mise-en-scene and the lighting of both films. Both of these films present main characters searching to find the Canadian dream of success, but are faced with the limitations of their own backgrounds that expose the films’ Canadian styling’s. The main characters in Goin Down the Road (dir. Shebib, 1970) and Double Happiness (dir. Shum, 1994) are all foreigners in their own country and the Canadian narrative brings this out.
Every kind of media has there own bias that they put into the news that the station is reporting. They will use words and images that bring your mind to a certain political party. Some people can see that the media is slanted left on the political scale but others do not see it. What people need to do is to identify the words and terminology that the media is using to see if there is any bias involved. People also have a problem when they read an article and read it like it is the only truth. When people do this their reaction may be different than if they knew what kind of bias the author had.
Growing up the story of Noah and the ark was one of my favorites; Quite simply because of the drawings depicting the story. They appeared so beautiful, when after many years I'm realizing the whole of the story. The story of the destruction of mankind, and the story of regrowth. I chose this topic because I realized how little I really do know about Noah and the ark. I will relay the story of Noah and the
The Biblical story of Noah’s Ark is one that most people have heard. The story of Noah starts with God commanding Noah to build an Ark. God saw the evil in the world and decided to destroy man and everything on earth with a great flood. Noah builds an Ark for his family and two of every animal on board. Once the ark is complete, God then sent a flood and everything on earth was destroyed except for Noah, his family and the animals. Noah sent out a dove to see if the water had receded and, when the dove came back, it had an olive branch and Noah knew it was safe. God then told Noah that he would never destroy the earth again with a flood. A rainbow appeared in the sky as a sign of God’s promise. Noah and his family exited the Ark and worshiped
Within the turmoil we find bodies thrown to the right and back to the left. Intermixed within the human like figures are four horses spilled throughout the sky and one golden chariot. A distressed man falls from the chariot as though what has just happened is all too much for him to take. Above this man a horse with a seemingly humanesque face looks down upon the chariot rider with eyes to kill. The horse's mane swept upwards to the brightest section of the painting. This section glowing down upon the scene implies a call from
