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.
The Trinisity was made sometime between 1425-1427, it is a fresco and is aligned pretty close in relationship to the lines and perspective of the room it was located at the time, almost as an entrance facing the painting to enhance the tromp l' oeil effect. The Trinity unlike the The Mérode Altarpiece was most likely built for public use as there seems to have been an altar mounted as a shelf between the upper and the lower sections of the fresco. This piece really emphasizes the "reality" it was trying to portray. Not a lot is known of the commission, there is no document naming the patrons of this
They worshipped the statues of Ji-bo- Kan-on and Si-An-Kan-on as Mary and Jesus Christ, when Christianity forbid the worship of statues FT. They burned the wooden crucifixes, and created paper crucifixes which enabled them to hide them in case of emergencies FT. Faces of Jesus Christ, GOD, or Mary were drawn in Kakejiku as a symbol, in which the faces became more like a Japanese person as time passed. These slight 'modifications' caused Kakure Khirisitan to dramatically digress from the original teachings and practices of Christianity, and later becomes a trigger for further hatred Kakure Khirisitan holds against missionaries in

He threw a great feast for Jesus.

Though the painting by Raphael entitled La Belle Jardiniere and Piet painting entitled composition number 8 are completely different works of arts. Raphael’s painting is clearly Christian devoted with the Virgin Mary, baby Jesus and St. John the Baptist.

However, it was at the time of Fatih Sultan Mehmet when the form of miniature painting started to change to western portraits. Many artists came from foreign nations and several local artists went to other cultures as students. Several portraits of Fatih Sultan Mehmet and portraits reflecting the Ottoman lifestyle were made. However, after the death of Fatih Sultan Mehmet, the posterior Sultans disapproved of the dimension and reality the western portraits imposed. On the other hand, as they refused to support portrait painting believing that it is against the rules of Islam, nearly all of the religious miniature paintings were prepared by the will of these sultans who reigned after Fatih Sultan Mehmet.

This painting represents something sacred and the power of divinity.
| Worship and the Sacraments: The Development of the Eucharist | Lisa Thomisee Mayo | | | | July 13, 2012 | The teaching of the Christian church establishes the origin of the Eucharist at the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples. It was then that Jesus took bread, broke it and gave it to his disciples and instructed them to eat it as it was his body. Jesus also took a cup, gave it to his disciples telling them to drink from it as it was the cup of the new covenant in his blood. The purpose of this paper is to trace the development of the Eucharist within the Christian church. The earliest written description of the Christian Eucharist is found as explained in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:14-20) and as the Apostle Paul explains it in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26.
Byzantine art did grow from the art of Ancient Greece but with some significant differences. Since the main purpose of Byzantine art was the glorification of God and his son, Jesus, the classical artistic tradition of depicting nude figures was banned. Replacing the classical preoccupation with the human body, the focus became the elevation of the figures of the Father, Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and the saints. Thus we get the most important form of Byzantine art, the icon. Used as an object or veneration (object of respect) in Orthodox churches and private homes, the icon has been called the prayer, hymn, and sermon in form and color.
