I believe Caravaggio’s take on “The Conversion of Saint Paul” was controversial because some believe the conversion was presented in a disrespectful manner. The 16th century was a time of Spiritual Reformation and I think it would have been less controversial if Saint Paul was presented in a more positive light (not knocked down to the ground).

While the bust may seem similar‚ they differ in more ways than previously mentioned. The bust of St Baudime was made in Auvergne in present-day France. Meanwhile‚ the bust of St. Balbina was possibly made in Belgium‚ near the South Netherlands. The St. Baudime bust was made of copper-gilt over walnut core‚ horn‚ and ivory. So at least the

Anyone who has read Shaw ’s St Joan‚ or has witnessed the play can state with certainty that one of the fundamental objectives of the writer was to remove Joan of Arc from the romantic perception that grown around her. Shaw had a clear and simple vision of showing the world what she was really like. He wanted to shed the illusions people had constructed since her death and lend his audience the opportunity to view Joan from a perspective that had been lost for more than 400 years.

Though Michelangelo wasn’t the only artist who worked on St. Peter’s Basilica‚ his work is probably the most well known. Not only did he design the domed ceiling of the church‚ but he also helped to repair the poorly constructed piers which were so vital to the structure of the monument. The Piers are what hold up the drum‚ which is the main base for the cupola (the domed part) and the lantern (the very top). The original designer of the church‚ Donato Bramante‚ was told by Michelangelo that his

According to the Manicheans‚ there were two different entities. One God representing evil and one God representing good. But according to Saint Augustine‚ his God is omnipotent‚ undecaying and true. Augustine confesses though‚ during

Looking at Peter Skrzynecki’s poem”10 Mary Street” and “St Patrick’s Day” that are part of the “Immigrant Chronicles” and contrasting them you look upon how the perception of belonging and not belonging is inextricably linked and is influenced by places.
