Once in the section of Christian Art, you are drawn to a collector’s piece called, Virgin and Child. The historical importance of this piece is that, it represents one of the few, but many symbolic figures which are valuable and significant to the Christian faith. The significance of the piece is that it represents Jesus as a child being in the arms of his mother, the Virgin Mary. The piece, which is sculpted completely in wood, can trace to the origins of Northern France around the second quarter of the 14th century. This period in the history of France (the Franks) is known as the Capetian Dynasty, which was mostly influenced by the movement of Gothic art.
To create this, writer Bruce Norris created a play with only two acts. The first act is based in the late 1950’s and early 60’s right after the war. The second act is based in the same house fifty years apart in the year 2009. By doing this Bruce Norris shows how race is still an important factor in many people’s lives even though racism has supposedly been abolished. Racism is one of the key factors that play a major role in the play “Clybourne Park”.

Melanie Schefft April 22, 2013 Byzantium’s Role in the Mosaic of Haitian Modernism: Voodoo Hides in Plain Sight While much has been discussed and written about Byzantium's influence on Western Modernism, little has been published about its tremendous symbolic impact and stylistic influence on Haitian modern art from the 1940s to the 1960s. In this thesis, I make a case for the obvious mimesis of Byzantine symbolism in Haitian Modernism and how those distinctive artistic styles are so prevalent in modern Haitian painting. I will analyze works by Haitian artists from 1944 to the 1960s, during Haiti’s most prominent modernist years, and one contemporary artist who has been successfully producing works from the 1990s to the present. In these colorful and lively Haitian images I have discovered a strong connection between their flat, linear, style, which often contain a deep, spiritual symbolism, to that of the iconography in the Byzantine paintings, mosaics, and frescoes from the years 330 to 1200 A.D. As iconography became an increasingly powerful tool for early Christianity with its creeds based on the idea of salvation, so their imperial images became important for inspiration. The early Christians in particular displayed conspicuous skill in placing monotheism within the classical tradition, and they also assimilated barbarian traditions to influence the medieval artistic expression.
According to the Annals of Ireland Patrick arrived in Ireland in 432 bringing Christianity with him. There is also a debate over whether Palladius and Patrick where actually the same person. Throughout this essay I am going to investigate these three theories in relation to supporting evidence and dates, and draw my own beliefs and conclusion from my findings. Palladius was, according to the contemporary chronicler Prosper, sent to Ireland by Pope Celestine as the first bishop of Ireland in 431. “Palladius founded a few churches in the Northeast of Ireland though the known Christian settlements and monasteries where mostly in the south ”.
We ponder, then, if there was ever a period when men and women existed in agreement with each other and with nature and the environment. The Bible discusses the Garden of Eden, and the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau propelled the thought in the 1700s of the "noble savage," nothing could be more gentle" than an ancient colony of individuals. Wrong! Steven A. Leblanc, a prehistorian at Harvard University, as well as some different researchers, contends rather that "people have been at every others' throats since the beginning of the species. Robin Yates, for instance, says the antiquated progenitors of the Chinese utilized "long-extend shot weapons" as long back as 28,000 B.C.

Sharp studied at Eton and King’s College, and he received a doctorate from Oxford University in 1618. He was present on the site of the speech in the capacity of chaplain to Robert Devereux, second Earl of Essex. He was assigned to repeat the speech to the troops that might have been unable to hear it from the Queen. That is the reason why he wrote it down and was able to recall it in a letter to the Duke of Buckingham 35 years later. There is no certain evidence that this accurate transcription was the actual speech delivered by Elizabeth I and there is a possibility that Leonel Sharp might have embellished it.
