Four Evangelists

The artist identified each of the apostles in the Christ in Majesty with Symbols of the Four Evangelists, but the writing has grown fainter and this

The apse titled Christ in Majesty with Symbols of the Four Evangelists in the church of Santa Maria de Mur displays the representation of divinity through its subject matter, technique, and style. In the apse, the main subjects revolve around scenes from the Old and New Testament with Christ as the focal point. For technique, the artist employed fresco painting instead of mosaics to show the images

Out of the four Evangelists, I find Mark to be the most intriguing. Not because he had the first gospel to be composed, but his drive and affection for Jesus. I will be discussing the play Everyman and how Mark’s purpose “to encourage a group undergoing difficult trials and persecutions” correlates with the play both philosophically and aesthetically.

The comparison between Symbol of Matthew from the Gospels of Saint Willibrord and Four Evangelists from the Aachen Gospels demonstrates the contrast between the less realistic period of the dark ages with the more realistic style of the Carolingian period. Art from the Dark ages focuses very little on naturalistic portrayal of human figures, but instead puts high importance on geometric decorative patterns. The Carolingian period began moving away from that, and artist started painting figures

This essay will analyze, The Calling of St Matthews, an oil on canvas painting made between the years of 1599-1600 by the artist, Caravaggio. Descriptive details of this painting will follow, which will allow an in-depth look into the elements and principles of design that are evident in this Caravaggio’s work. The Calling of St Matthew illustrates a religious scene where Jesus initially encounters Saint Matthew. Most striking is the group of well-dressed young and old men who have gathered around

The religious character, Mary, is the topic of several bible verses, gospels, and various other religious texts. This protean array of readings ensures that Mary will have both similar and differing depictions. One of these readings is The Proto-Gospel of James, and the other is The Book of Luke from the bible. These texts will be the focus of comparison between the two Marys. In each of these texts, Mary is portrayed as a humble and self-deprecating figure that accepts her role as the mother of

Introduction The story of the Gadarene demoniacs in Matthew 8:28-9:1 begins with the conclusion of another miracle. After calming a storm out at sea, Jesus disembarks in Gadara. He encounters two possessed men living in the tombs who are making it difficult for people to pass by. The men recognize Jesus as the Son of God and call out to him defensively.
