Born in Greece as Domenikos Theotocopoulos, (his nickname translates from Spanish into “The Greek”), El Greco was the top artist of the Spanish School, and was commissioned to paint “Assumption” to adorn the convent’s altar. The painting is a daunting size—over six feet wide and twice as tall—surrounded

people to follow His plan for them. Although some remain hesitant at first, it is seemingly impossible to altogether reject God’s calling. There are many examples of this in both the Bible and the world today. Samuel was called to serve as prophet, Mary was called to serve as the Mother of God, and my grandfather was called to serve as a deacon in the Catholic Church.

Mary, also known as St. Mary the Virgin, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Mary, Mary Mother of God or the Virgin Mary is believed by many to be the greatest of all Christian saints.

Comparing it to the beautiful Pisa Cathedral and Assumption Cathedral, which were made around the same time, one could find it hard to decide which is the most artistic. Looking at the materials, art, and icons of cathedrals are ways to gauge how beautiful the building is. St. Basil’s Cathedral was the most

The native painters used tempera and oil to create the painting on the cloth piece. Guadalupe's skin color and black hair are both important factors to consider during the interpretation of the painting, as no other image in the Spain had depicted Mary in this way. However, over the years, the image has been altered quite a bit due to cracks and fading of color in the painting.

What a sensation was made about the Sensation exhibition in the Brooklyn Museum of Art. The focus of Mayor Giuliani's outcry was the piece "The Holy Virgin Mary" by Chris Ofili. Funny, he didn't give attention to some of the other outrageous works including the pubescent female mannequins studded with erect penises, vaginas, and anuses, fused together in various postures of sexual coupling, or the portrait of a child molester and murder made from what appears like child hand prints or bisected animals
