10/16/11 Paper #1 Art History 100 I chose the artwork “The Denial of St. Peter” attributed to Master Jacomo in the early mid-17th century made using either French or Italian style which consisted of oil on canvas.

St. Peter denies the fact that he is a follower of Jesus to the Roman soldier as the woman looks on. When

St. Peter is known as our very first Pope! He became one of the twelve apostles of Jesus also. To me St. Peter isn’t like all of the other saints‚ He was the very first Saint I knew and learned about when I was a little kid. I picked St. Peter because he has a couple of sayings that mean a lot to me. Like this on which is my favorite " Cast all of your anxieties upon him‚ because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 St. Peter’s feast day is on June 29. He was born on 1b.c in Bethsaida‚ Gaulanities

Many people believe that St. Patrick’s Day is about leprechauns and a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow‚ but what they do not know is that this holiday started because of St. Patrick himself.

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. Upon reflection
