most of the famous kings are famous for their lack of virtue rather than their piety. In this regard‚ King St. Louis IX of France is an exception. This king lived a pious life and has over 65 miracles attributed to his prayerful intercession after his death. Being the only French monarch to receive the title of saint‚ the rift between Louis and an average king is quite a large one. King St. Louis IX became King of France when he was only 12 due to his father’s early death. Although named regent in 1226

Joslyn Art Museum I recently took a trip to the Joslyn Art Museum and was very impressed with the art‚ mainly the paintings. I had never really been to an art museum just to look around but I found that a lot of the paintings used the techniques that we discussed in class.

One of the most interesting

The museums goals had rested with thecurator‚ Miss Kirkhoff‚ who has been the most influential individual in the museums history.

Derain’s Turning Road and Benton’s Haystack After visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston for the first time‚ I observed many interesting works of art representing various time periods. Of all the paintings that I saw last week‚ two landscaped pieces seemed to stick out in my mind; Andre Derain’s The Turning Road and Thomas Hart Benton’s Haystack. Though these two art works are similar in subject matter‚ they clearly reflect the different styles and time periods of their artists; the abstract

Every year‚ for the past five years‚ my church youth group has gone on a mission trip to St. Louis. This mission trip was called The St. Louis Project‚ sponsored by Global Encounter.

The first year we went was my seventh grade year‚ there was a small group that

Art is portrayed in so many different views. When looking at each piece of art and its cultural background I was interested to see more. I enjoyed each piece of art and the inspiration behind it was even more eye opening to me. There is a historical perspective behind each piece of art and we as people have not taken the time to see how art was started. I have never looked at art in such a serious way until now‚ being able to see such a wide variety of art and how each piece was created was very

During a recent visit to the San Antonio Museum of Art‚ I was able to view many pieces and types of artwork. This particular museum exhibits pieces that come from the period of the Ancient Egyptians all the way up to modern art. It was a very interesting experience and one that I would definitely like to repeat in the future. The piece that was most interesting to me was a Roman floor mosaic that depicts The Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs. A mosaic is a picture or pattern created by fixing together
