Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper
Many art scholars and historians having been discussing if certain artworks that are incomplete should be restored/finish or would ruin that ruin the artwork. Moreover, an example of this is Leonardo DA Vinci's Last Supper one of his art pieces that he was working on but was never able to complete. In 1999 someone did their best to finish the masterpiece mimicking Vinci’s style.This caused a controversy because many believed that it would ruin the history behind the painting if someone was to finish it. I personally disagree in restoring incomplete artworks, because I believe that it undermines the artist that takes their time in finishing someone else's work. Leonardo was never able to finish his work and to honor him an artist took his

    The renaissance is a when a new city is reborn. There were many great artist like Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo. In my opinion the most significant artist was Leonardo da Vinci. One reason why is he was a significant artist was because he lived with only his father and this brought him to be the artist he was. I think this because in Leonardo’s DBQ it states “became an apprentice of Andrea del Verrocchio.”…

    Though there are three different accounts of the Lord’s Last Supper in the bible—written by Matthew, Luke, and John—each record share common threads. Specifically speaking, the scriptures all express Jesus’ desire for people to, through the symbols of bread and wine, receive his body and blood in remembrance of him. In other words, through this symbolic and orderly process, all accounts show that Jesus wants his followers to remember the sacrifice he made: die on the cross to pay for mankind’s sins. Ultimately, I found these accounts to show Jesus suggesting a redemptive nature of his death.…

    The period after the World War I was quite hard for people who were disillusioned. They suffered because of the lives lost and were unaware of what their goals were and what they could amount to. In Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Sun Also Rises, the Lost Generations and their inability to cope with the changes around them is the focus of the novel. The epigraph to The Sun Also Rises contains a Gertrude Stein’s quote — “You are all a lost generation”. This proclamation is followed by a passage from the beginning of the Book of Ecclesiastes: “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever”. The former quote’s message clearly conveys that Jake Barns, Robert Cohn, Brett Ashley and Mike Campbell are deprived of moral, emotional, spiritual and physical values.…

    Crucifixion is a form of execution or punishment for those of the worst crimes. It was a very popular form of execution throughout Eastern Europe and Western Asia. Many groups such as the Indians, Scythians, Celts, Germani, Britanni, Taurians, Persians, Carthaginians, Phoenicians, Greeks, and mostly the Romans all commonly used crucifixion.

His feet are tied to the bottom. As he hangs by his hands, he slowly suffocates. It is a long and painful death as many observers had described it.…

    The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the greatest proof of Christianity. Everything else that was said or done by Christ and the apostles is secondary in importance to the resurrection. If the resurrection did not take place, then Christianity is a false religion built on lies. If it did take place, then Christ is God and the Christian faith is absolute truth. Without the resurrection, it is quite certain there would have been no Christian church. Did Christ actually rise from the dead, or has the Christian faith been led astray by some kind of hoax?…

    For several years before the Protestant reformation, the Catholic church had been planning a movement to reform itself from within and help Catholics to remain loyal followers. However, this movement only took place in the mid 1500’s, approximately 20 years after the Protestant Reformation. The Catholic reformation, sometimes referred to as the counter reformation, had four main goals: to revise and strengthen Catholic doctrines, to reform any unjust happenings within the church, to prevent the spread of Protestantism, and to regain land lost to Protestantism, as well as spread Catholicism to new places.
