Our culture today is deeply based on visual perception which shows the fascination humanity has with the power of images. This paper intends to discuss the use and importance of images within the context of Byzantine art.

The majesty of the images emphasize the Glory of God and the spiritual realities of

Wanton hospital is long renowned for its health care which is the best in the country. It’s the very first multispecialty hospital in the district. Being a nurse in this hospital, I have come across lots of experiences where some of them were very rewarding while some of them were just sad. But that is the life of any nurse.

Andrea Mantegna is the first fully Renaissance artist of northern Italy who was very talented. He is known for many of his works and is involved in many different artistic periods.

Virgin Mary, a woman destined to marry a carpenter, who courageously accepted God’s call without hesitation. I think this is why so many Pharisees and Sadducees neglected Christ’s proclamations of being the Messiah. They were expecting some glorious king to liberate them from the Romans, but when He came as a humble man who came to set them free from unearthly hardships they became upset.
