Visual Analysis of an Architectural Space - The Cloisters The Cloisters Museum is unique in the sense that you can walk into different rooms and automatically be in a different realm. It transports locations that would ordinarily be great span away from each other, to, literally, within walking distances. The Fuentidueña Chapel was one of these locations. Suddenly you were no longer in a museum in Fort Tryon Park, but in the apse of a church of San Martin at Fuentidueña in Spain. If the fairly

A critical analysis of “Merciles Beautee” as compared with “To Rosemounde, Hale sterne superne, hale in eterne and Of my lady wel me rejoise I may.” “The courtly lady…possesses a curiously hybrid gender. While maintaining stereotypically female sexuality, she also holds, in principle at least, the status of a feudal lord.” Burns’ statement insinuates a reversal of power dynamics between man and woman in the courtly love lyric, implying that the woman’s stereotypical beauty and sexuality in courtship

1. Introduction The Sagrada Familia is a Catholic temple that expresses Christian faith through its structure and form. It is a building whose importance lies in its nature and divine revelation. It is built in the Glory of God and every aspect of it reflects the divine world. In a way, it can be considered a meeting point between heaven and earth. As Saint Maximus, the Confessor wrote, “it is worthy of admiration that, being so small [the temple], it is similar to the grandness of the world…” Symbols

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 works of art produced in the service of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which are still employed today, show a remarkable synthesis of beliefs, theology and aesthetics of the Byzantine culture. 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. When I think of some good experiences, I am reminded of a very peculiar case which took place in the very same hospital. One day a very critical accident case was brought in

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. His paintings are beautiful and inspiring. Mantegna was born in Italy in 1431 to a woodworker named Biagio Mantegna.

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. On a more comical note, one thing that I found intriguing is when Gabriel appeared to both Zechariah and Mary they
