Satisfactory Essays
Many artists have created visual interpretations of scriptures such as Rev Mark Hewitt -Day of Pentecost. This painting is an accurate representation of Acts 2 and shows this through colour, images and emotions. The painting 'Day of Pentecost' has a wide variety of colours that help express the meaning. These include the bright red/yellow/orange curved lines on the heads of the crowd. These lines are portrayed as the tongues of fire, "They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them." The people in the crowd are from the Early Church as they are wearing head scarfs and have beards.
