religions and deities; therefore, one could say that religion has been the main patron of artworks depicting sacred subjects. Yet, how they worship and disseminate their religions and deities is quite similar. When looking at Virgin and Child in Majesty (ca. 1175-1200) and Yashoda with the Infant Krishna (12th Century), one immediately establishes a connection between them due to their visual similarities. The first (Fig. 1) is a sculpture made of walnut that depicts the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ
Katherine Philips’ “On the 3. of September, 1651” is a thirty-four line poem with an AABB rhyme scheme. Comparing a royal’s reign to a sunset, the poem depicts the destructive, blazing fall of a monarchy. The first ten lines of the poem describe a setting sun and establish the framework in which we are expected to view the monarchy’s fall. Detailing the “glorious” (1) sun’s “double brightness” (4) while he dips below the horizon, Philips portrays the sunset as something both beautiful and terrifying

always outweigh their benefits. One good example of such an imitation is this painting by Caspar David Friedrich. Being a painting, it is not 100% photorealistic, and some of the minor details are lost. Heck, even a photograph cannot fully capture the majesty of standing in that field and gazing upon those mountains. But what an imitation like this picture can do, is to give people a glimpse of what it is like somewhere else. This would played a much bigger role in the 19th century, where travel took much

overall theme. In the poem “This is My Letter to the World,” Dickson uses the personification of nature, rhyme scheme, and metaphor to show her overall theme. Within the poem, Dickinson writes, "The simple news that Nature told, With tender majesty." Dickinson is using personification because nature cannot literally speak to her and tell her the basic truths about life.

Most Christian and Catholic Majesty was only used by the monarchs of the Kingdom of France. In the French First Empire Napoleon I only used “By the Grace of God”. In monarchies in Europe, most monarchs
