Incarnation: The Most Great Christian Sculpture Technique
There are many great Christian sculpture features! I personally like the Chartes Cathedral located In France. The Chartes Cathedral began construction in the year 1134, and is also referred to as the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The Chartes Cathedral is located in downtown Paris, and is a great representation of the Gothic style due to the Cathedrals style of stone and glass. The West Façade of the Chartes Cathedrals features magnificent sculptures of religious figures. In one Christ is featured enthroned and it shows him coming back at the end of time. In another portal shows the scene of the Incarnation. The Incarnation is God’s first appearance on earth that shows the significance of Mary in Christ’s life. The Chartes Cathedral is one of the

    Faith Ringold: Art Analysis

    In my artwork, I created a batik landscape of Ireland, with the house on the cliff supposed to be a house similar to one on my way to church. When creating this piece, I used a piece of silk, and then dyed it with various colors, ranging from brown to green. I believe this shows the theme, as I have been to Ireland, and I have multiple connections to it, as many ancestors of mine were Irish. Also, the house in the artwork was one that I see every time I go to church. I felt the house had an older and more traditional look to it, as it was covered with dead plants, and slightly broken in. I combined both memories, and created this piece. I believe this item connects with the artist Faith Ringold, as we both used mixed media to represent something…

    Love Is God: Indiana Art Analysis

    It wasn’t until 1962, that Indiana first painted something that would one day become a world-known symbol. It began as a painting, which evolved into a different painting, which eventually evolved into various sculptures, and has now evolved into a national symbol. The original painting entitled Love was just a small work of art. The theme of the artwork, love, still meant a great deal to Indiana though. Soon, various private organizations were asking Indiana to paint various versions of Love for their own personal use. One, entitled Love is God was painted three years after the original artwork was simply stenciled words on a fading, gradient canvas. However, Indiana’s vision of what this art could turn into continued to grow, “the subject in general had been in his mind…

    The specific sculpture I chose was the Venus of Willendorf. It was found in 1908 by a man named Johann Veran during an excavation at a Paleolithic site near Willendorf, a city in Austria. It is estimated that it was made between 24,000 and 22,000 BCE. The Venus of Willendorf is 11.1-centimetre high and carved out of oolithic limestone…

    The Riace Bronzes

    I choose these artworks, because they were both found in catacombs so they represent the need to hide Christianity and eventually the acceptance of Christianity. Jesus Healing the Bleeding Woman is a painting that lacks extreme detail, and indicates being rushed/not having tools (Early Christian Art and Architecture). This painting is significant because it represents how early Christians effectively told the stories of their faith and tells the story of Mark 5:25-34. The sculpture, Jesus the Good Shepherd, originally made in the Roman catacombs, became popular when Christianity was accepted and has been replicated hundreds of times since then and reminds people of Early Christian Art’s origin. This sculpture presents Christ as the good shepherd which is spoken of often in the Bible, and specifically in John 10:11. I chose these two works of art for the Early Christian Art room because I wanted to show the difference in art from when Christians were hiding and…

    Archaic Greek Sculpture

    A significant difference between the Archaic Greek sculptures and the Classical Greek sculptures is the poses held by the statues. The Archaic sculptures poses were strictly frontal; their one leg was usually advanced whilst the other leg was drawn behind. Both sides of the body were symmetrical. They also wore the Archaic smile which, one may assume was used as a way of making the statuses appear far more humanlike Contrary, the Classical sculptures also had a four square shape yet their standing figures balance position had been altered. The axis of the body was now a long double curve and the head was positioned subtly to the one side.…

    Christian Art Influence On Society

    Historians feel that the first glimpses of art are not pagan, but rather ornamentation. There also seems to be no real pattern of items that can be considered Christian other than a noticeable recurrence of vines. Symbolism is seen more in the second century in public cemeteries. These works of art were rather different than the pagan art during this same time. Two examples of this would be the dove and the fish. Both of these symbols could be recognized by normal people, but were not used in pagan decoration, thus having to be brought about by some type of Christian influence. After the triumph of Constantine in around 313 A.D, came the main birth of Christian art. Examples would include art seen on the walls of Roman catacombs, also the believed figure of Christ changed from a beardless good shepherd to a bearded man. Christ also was depicted as standing or sitting with an attitude of…

    Philadelphia Art Museum

    As I walked into the first gallery, I saw a wood sculpture that stood in the center of the room. This carving depicted "the crucified Christ, flanked by the Virgin Mary and St. John the Evangelist with Angels holding instruments of the Passion". It was painted oak and very appealing to the eye. It stood approximately 15 feet in the air. The origin of this sculpture is unknown, but it was found in a Belgium church. This kind of sculpture usually stood at the entrance or at the center of the alter in the church facing the congregation. This image of the suffering Christ relates to the Christian ideas of suffering and Christ's salvation of all mankind.…

    Art Criticism – the Creation of Adam

    In this painting God is depicted as an elderly white-bread man wrapped in a swirling cloak while Adam, is in the lower left and is completely nude while sitting on a large boulder. God’s right arm is extended to impact the spark of life from his own finger into Adam whose left arm is extended in pose mirroring God. Adam appears to be completely nude sitting on what seems to be a rocky hill God and Adam’s finger are not touching which gives the impression that God is reaching out to Adam and Adam is receiving. God is surrounded by many females; they are wrapped around his whole body.…

    Art And The Protestant Reformation

    The Protestant Reformation was one of the first times in history that the power and authority of the Pope was challenged. With the Protestant Reformation came a switch from public to private artwork. One major innovation that facilitated this change was the printing press. The printing press was responsible for the distribution of the 95 theses which is what first led to the questioning of the Popes authority. The printing press also allowed art to be reproduced, a quality that was very important to Protestants and their ability to keep artwork private within their homes.…
