Brister Dr. Julie Driessen EN-101-A February 22‚ 2013 The Battle of Marriages (Secular v. Christ like) We’ve all heard the sad statistic on marriages today in America: 50 percent ends in divorce.

The second piece that i have chosen to analyze is “The Taking of Christ” created in 1602 by Michelangelo Caravaggio. This 2-dimensional piece was created using oil on a canvas.

The most noticeable elements of art in this piece are space and color. I

Jesus Christ Jesus Christ is the cornerstone and foundation for Christianity. He is what separates Christianity from all other religions‚ without Him there would be no such thing as Christianity. Jesus has always been‚ and is eternal. His entrance into the world was not elaborate or a flashy coming fit for a king‚ but rather a humble miracle that could not ever be duplicated.
