The North faced a more austere and miserable environment which is somewhat represented in their work whereas the south were more focused on bringing out the religious imagery of the Bible in their artists works. This is probably one of the main differences in the work of Northern & Southern art. We can see above that the work of Northerners such as Hieronymus Boche and Albrecht Diirer is more abstract in comparison to the paintings of someone such as Raphael who we can see has decided to go for a more realistic approach. Why is this? It seems that the main reason to take into account is the fact that the church commissioned nearly all the works that were done by Southern artists meaning that the pictures were to be displayed in churches and on stained glass windows etc.
RELIGIOS PAINTING IN THE OTTOMAN Islam as a religion never welcomed the idea of duplicating a real figure as a painting or a sculpture. It is believed that any art work which reflects the real person himself might lead other people in to worshiping someone other than Allah, the only God who created all. On the other hand, as an irony, being one of the greatest Islamic Empires of the World history, Ottomans made the most number of religious miniature paintings among all the other Islamic Nations of the World history. Miniature painting can be traced all the way back to the reign of Orhan Gazi in the Ottoman history. However, it was at the time of Fatih Sultan Mehmet when the form of miniature painting started to change to western portraits.
Therefore if a Christian was entering a mosque, out of respect for the Muslim culture, they would also take off their shoes, and vice versa. Some might say that morality and good manners are the same thing, therefore we should adapt our behaviours depending on which society we happen to be in. We should not be so ignorant to realise that our ideas or morals can differ by extremes all over the world, and have no right to try and influence others. If I think ‘Dictatorship is wrong’ is not absolute or universally true. It is true within my culture and society.
Islam has additionally affected present day Saudi culture. Stores and hotels still do the day by day request to God directed by the Koran and the strict clothing standards took after by ladies make it not at all like some other Western culture in light of the fact that the qualities and the social norms are in view of religious teachings that still proceed. 2. What kind of misunderstanding or likely to arise between an American company and the Saudi enterprise, if neither of which has experience in dealing with the other? Diverse cultures have distinctive methods for working together.
Most forms of coastal art in East Africa are characterized by geometric patterns and bold, vibrant lively designs (an influence from the Islamic cultural faith and arts) This was brought upon by the trade in Africa, whereby some of the fist settlers in the coastal regions were Arabs, bringing with them their Islamic influences in terms of architecture and design. Parts of Mombasa, a coastal town in Kenya are now referred to as ‘Old Town’, and are host to many ruins of the Muslim world such as ‘Fort Jesus’. The town consists of mosques once heavily adorned in intricate designs, but now old and un-kept remain as reminders of what they once were. After the defeat of the Portuguese, the Omani Arabs controlled the coast of East Africa (1697-1888), and it is this Arabic influence that can be traced around Mombasa town. Old town for example is renowned for its impressive carved doors.
In the early years of the British Empire, Britain held colonial rule in South Asia, primarily in India. This interest in the construction of the empire has come to be seen as a cultural project of control, which has set the agenda for the academic study of modern Indian culture for decades. In the following essay I intend to first discuss the British Raj in India, to establish a foundation on which to discuss the colonial authority in India. I will discuss the colony geographically and statistically and then in terms of character and the methods used to achieve control. Next I will look briefly at the general history of the importance of clothing in Indian culture and how it has been used for social change.
But some people with the entrenched mindsets make religion an excuse to prevent driving .It does not say any thing in Qur’an about that . So religion can not be blamed for women’s lack of rights . The Qur’an does order us to do things . One example for that , is wearing a costume for the women to cover her against foreigners and that is called an Abaya . This costume ( Abaya ) has been known from long time in the Islamic world .
Though it was considered controversial and inappropriate, it simultaneously extended the art world and people’s perception of art. “Fountain” was a symbol of the composition that was found in early religion. It appears to look like a veil over a woman’s head similar to the outline of Virgin Mary and it could also be interpreted as the outline of Buddha. The urinal then not only relates to the male gender but also connects to females as well. Duchamp’s belief was that “because the artist chose the object to be art, it was, even though the artist did not physically manufacture it.” This statement was a step out of the comfort zone that society has been contained in.
Unlike with regular Christian based art that has a strong tradition of portraying the human figure; Islamic Art is featured with more of an arabesque style. Early Islam culture forbade anyone to paint human beings, even prophets, feeling that it led its follows to idolize the form depicted in the painting. Because of this, Muslim art is typically in a style that features calligraphic designs, which typically displayed geometric patterns that were repeated over and over again. This was seen in architecture, carpets and documents that were hand written. The Qur’an was transcribed using Arabic, a very flowing and beautiful script that calligraphy stemmed from.
One sort of Muslim was the individuals who are companions with the adversaries of Islam: they don't falter to bring about damage to the religion for their own particular intrigues; they spread questions and suspicions against Islam and keep individuals from embracing the religion. Anyhow, since they are a piece of the Muslim group, Islam serves them as a shield. Second sort of Muslim were the individuals who did not chehrish any inclination of adoration for the individual who is a foe of Islam. In the first place kind has been transparently expressed by Allah to fit in with Satan's gathering, regardless of however hard they attempt to be the piece of Islam by swearing pledges to others. Just the second sort of individuals is the ones who will have achievement, and Allah is satisfied
