Art_Depictions

Art Depictions People around the world go to museums to observe works of art from the beginnings of civilization to the present day. Although art style has changed the one thing that is unchanged are the purposes behind art. Throughout time art is used to express many different things like religion, communication, daily life, societal recognition and appeal to the audience. Religion and art have a very long-lived relationship. The work Christ of the Pentecost, a stone sculpture on Saint Madeleine Cathedral, 1125-1150 France, is a good example of an art with a religious expression. The statue is of Christ in the crucifixion position but he is not on the cross. The work is not realistic, instead the figure of Christ is very elongated and not proportioned correctly. The body has extremely large hands and a slender body. The garments worn by Christ are designed with a pattern of swirls and linear perspectives that leave the figure with a rough texture. Art is also used to communicate things like stories or ideas. The Rose De France,1233, window is a fine example because it communicates religion to any person observing it. It tells of Mary, Jesus and the Saints without words.
