It is much easier to understand the message in spiritual art when the colors and pictures depicted can have a known meaning. Some symbols for Christianity are still an integral part of our world and art today. There are symbols, such as the Agnus Dei that we are still familiar with today. We have used symbols in our art for centuries and will continue, because it is an important part of our communication and expression. <BR/>http://www.symbols.net/christian/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069663283536882648.post-23885200243467809782007-11-12T00:34:00.000-05:002007-11-12T00:34:00.000-05:00I found it interesting when reading how the color ...I found it interesting when reading how the color red is a symbol of love, anger, and passion, but then the next sentence is that it is used to denote the status of cardinal. All of those attributes don't seem to have any resemblance to what I would think of as someone in that position of authority in a church. Red is also said to be the first color perceived by man. Also, noted that it is seen first by people recovering from brain damage.<BR/><BR/>http://webexhibits.org/pigments/indiv/color/reds2.htmlUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752211246732559181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069663283536882648.post-25159950726271925892007-11-11T23:15:00.000-05:002007-11-11T23:15:00.000-05:00When i look at art, i usually just look at the art...When i look at art, i usually just look at the art in a literal sense. This is a flaw of mine. I seem to look over the symbolism in art work. I found some very informative information on the symbolism in christian art. I did not realize that even the most seemingly meaningless things actually are symbolic. For example a rock can symbolize Christ or the church. <BR/><BR/><BR/>http://landru.i-link-2.net/shnyves/Christian_Symbolism.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069663283536882648.post-19108849973076412472007-11-11T18:16:00.000-05:002007-11-11T18:16:00.000-05:00Starting around this time, it was common for noble...Starting around this time, it was common for nobles and royalty to have an image made of themselves dressed up as a saint. The practice lasted well past the Medieval period and into the Renaissance A common example of this practice is of Henery VIII's second wife Anne Bolyen as St. Barbara. Notice the communion chalice and the Host levitating above the chalice. Though Anne is depicted as St. Barbara, she is wearing a crown to distinguis her as a queen. Please not that the clothing she is wearing is typical of the 1530's, not circa 300 A.D. when St. Barbara was alive.<BR/><BR/>http://groups.msn.com/AnneBoleynstudies/anneboleynportraitsplaces.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=13<BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Barbara<BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_BoleynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069663283536882648.post-43118833397499292232007-11-11T16:14:00.000-05:002007-11-11T16:14:00.000-05:00It's kinda funny to see what the colors signify in...It's kinda funny to see what the colors signify in Christian art, compared to what colors are signified as now. In a color theory book that I have, the colors are assiciated as follows:<BR/><BR/>Dark Blue: calm, comfort, harmony, tranquility, and the need for fulfillment and contentment.<BR/><BR/>Blue/Green: steadfastness, success.<BR/><BR/>Red/Orange: energy, desire, appetite, hunger, activity.<BR/><BR/>Yellow: sunny, happy, bright, the future ("Yellow is the color of haloes and gold and may have religioussignificance")<BR/><BR/>Violet: magical identification to the world<BR/><BR/>Brown: home, sense of belonging, sometimes uneasiness<BR/><BR/>Black: anarchy, protest, nonfollower of trends<BR/><BR/>Gray: seperation, stand alone<BR/><BR/>This is what the book says about colors today, where little or no religious significance is apparent.<BR/><BR/>Contemporary Color: Theory and Use<BR/>Author: Steven BleicherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069663283536882648.post-81875494756114821062007-11-11T13:34:00.000-05:002007-11-11T13:34:00.000-05:00Justinian continued the tradition of the Roman Emp...Justinian continued the tradition of the Roman Empire and religion (paganism) when he built San Vitale. He created a link between himself and his ancestors. The building of magnificent temples was not the only tradition that the Roman empire and relgion left behind. Paganism greatly influenced the Chrisitian religion and customs of the Byzantine Era. Salvation rituals, superstition, festivals, and demonology are just a few examples of religiosity that the Christians adopted from Paganism. http://www.myriobiblos.gr/texts/english/Constantelos_3.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069663283536882648.post-52888424245960216772007-11-07T20:57:00.000-05:002007-11-07T20:57:00.000-05:00The phoenix is an amazing symol for christianity a...The phoenix is an amazing symol for christianity and my personal favorite. Maybe one day a tattoo of mine. :) For it to represent the death and resurrection in one animal is just extradinary. I find it just amazing. It's also used in Greek mythology and Egyptian. It was more of a heron then and associated with the sun-god Ra. And also in Japan.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069663283536882648.post-66427641462936521432007-11-06T21:27:00.000-05:002007-11-06T21:27:00.000-05:00A friendly reminder: at least 1 of your weekly pos...A friendly reminder: at least 1 of your weekly posts has to have a source cited.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
