phenomenally graphic and realistic art‚ much of it being gruesome and bloody toned. Art is always an interesting record of humans perceptions of what is happening around them. For example‚ I enjoyed reading about Michaelangelo Merisi‚ better known as‚ Caravaggio who was at the forefront of the painting world in the seventeenth century. He typically paints religious inspired pieces which reflects he was religious himself and in his beliefs‚ as well as living in a religious world. His painting The crucifixion

breaking ground in paintings involving historical and religious themes. It was not all fun and games for Gentileschi‚ as she faced hardships and turmoil throughout her artistic life. This anguish and disparity can be seen even in her work Judith and Holofernes. Throughout Gentileschi’s painting there is a prevalent theme of feminism. To understand why she is so anti-male it is important to look at Artemisia’s motives for the painting‚ the treatment of women during the Baroque period‚ and the relevance

The implied texture is seen in the fabrics of the clothing‚ the hair and even in the skin of the women. Unlike “Judith Slaying Holofernes” the painting does not have such bright colors.

The Bible is filled with stories of the weak overcoming great odds on their way to success. Jacob the son of Isaac is a character who must overcome is physical faults to gain his fathers favor. Judith uses her weakness of being a woman to save her people and land from invaders. Both characters typify a major theme of the Bible‚ which is the ultimate triumph of the weak. Jacob the youngest of Isaac’s sons is portrayed as being weak when compared to his brother Esau‚ “Esau was a cunning hunter

I chose a medieval art where Judith cut off the head of Holofernes. The story behind this painting is that Judith saved the Jews of Bethulia from being destroyed by Holofernes‚ who had brought his whole army to her village. Judith wanted the elders to interfere with general Holofernes plans‚ but they told her to leave things in the hands of God and to trust in him. Instead‚ she decided to deal with things herself if no one was going to do anything about it. Judith was a beautiful widow determined

Anglo-Saxon Religious Poetry The influence of Christianity came to England from Ireland with the arrival of St. Augustine’mission. The ancient vernacular poetry unredeemed in its worldliness and paganism was sanctified by the Christianization of England. In consequence there was a marked change in the content and emotion of English poetry while leaving it form and general technique unaltered. Instead of seeking themes common to old-Germanic the Christianized Anglo-Saxons adopted a new world
