The prayer book of Anne de Bretagne, painted by the artist Jean Poyer, though containing only thirty-one folios, presents a wealth of material to study and interpret. It is just one of many examples of religious manuscripts commissioned by Anne that were extremely personalised, and noting each personalisation provides insight, not only into Jean Poyer’s artistic methods, but also into the character of Anne de Bretagne. Its composition affords an example of the shift in perspective of the purpose

acted as a clear catalyst, will be explored in this essay. The arrival of Mary Queen of Scots, the influence of William Cecil, and the religious concerns of the Northern Earls are all important causes of the Northern Rebellion, however without a doubt in this case it was Mary’s arrival in England that was the primary cause. Even though the Northern Earls did not want to overthrow Queen Elizabeth and replace her with Mary Queen of Scots, her arrival in England was

piece Pietà, depicts a highly emotional scene in which Mary, Mary Magdalene, and John the Baptist mourn the death of Christ, who has just been removed from the cross after his crucifixion. The moment Crivelli captured in this painting seems to be the first moments that Christ has been returned to his loved ones. There is movement and intense emotion in this moment. Mary has thrown herself around Christ’s body and pulls him towards her. Mary Magdalene holds Christ’s left arm and seems to be bringing

Likewise, another element of art in this painting is color, which has already been discussed, but it is clear to see that the colors in this picture are full of richness and saturation, and there are not much dull colors outside of the clothes on Mary. Also, it does look like there are a few hints of green in the background of the angel wings, so there was most likely a mixture of colors to create the specific colors in this painting. A fourth element of art that is prevalent in this painting are

It was towards the end of the summer of 2014 i was going to Auburn Riverside for the first time to go pick up my schedule. The first day of school was a little scary, but I i 'm glad I made friends fast. I think my easiest class was my 6th period, language arts. It was my easiest class because we never did anything in that class. I meet this guy named Casey, I knew him because I have a friend named Laura and she has a friend named Hailey so her brother is Casey. I 'm sure if he likes me but we 're

very important woman in Christianity is Mary. She is the mother of Christ and she is unique as she was chosen by God to look after Jesus because she was free of original sin (the tendency to evil supposedly innate in all human beings, held to be inherited from Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, online definition). Mary can be called ‘Saint Mary’, ‘The Virgin Mary’ and ‘The Blessed Virgin Mary’ which shows her reverence in Christianity. This has made Mary a role-model for many Christians as they

that focuses on the idea of a “do-over” that undoes previously committed sin. Based on the theological assertions made by Paul and Irenaeus, recapitulation in the greater doctrine of salvation is achieved through Christ as the second Adam, the Virgin Mary as the second Eve, and the Church as the second Eden. The central claims concerning recapitulation are found in the Pauline epistles of First Corinthians and Romans in the New Testament. The first biblical discussion of Paul’s doctrine of salvation

Light and Darkness In John’s gospel, it talks about how light represents the good and darkness represents the evil. It also talks how the light will take over the darkness no matter what. Sometimes it hard to tell what is the light. For example, in John 3:19-21, it talks about if someone believes the darkness. Their work will be evil and nonexistent. If someone believes in the light, their work can be seen to God. It's talking about people’s personality how if someone is evil or believe in the darkness

more meaning than there appears to be. Hester uses sewing as her outlet when she is condemned by the townspeople, but it is through her seclusion and the sewing she does during her time alone that strengthens her faith in herself and God, much like Mary did after she first learned of her pregnancy. This faith proves very helpful to her in more trying times. Yet another symbol is made through the rosebush. The rose bush is a symbol of sin, and Pearl continues to claim

Mary is seen on multiple levels of the church.      Technically, Van Eyck was ingenious in his use of glazing. He would apply “several coats of glazes with pigments in linseed oil, one over the other, and his final coats of varnish”
