  • The Holy Trinity, by Masaccio

    1379 Words  | 3 Pages

    Masaccio’s famous religious painting, “The Holy Trinity”, is known for the engagement of linear perspective to create an image that goes beyond just paint on canvas, (or should I say wall?) by creating the illusion of depth. This painting addresses many religious concepts by setting up different levels and layers in the constructed space. The characters depicted are made up of four groups of human figures, which include the Trinity (God the father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit), the Virgin Mary and Saint John

    the Holy Spirit. Although they all exist in different beings , the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit make up God; they create the Holy Trinity that lives in Him. Many have proven the Holy Trinity to be true through biblical and historical evidence, so no person can deny this fact. However, many theologists like to state the Trinity is a pagan concept adopted by Christianity, and since no one mentions the word “Trinity” in the Bible, the idea of the Trinity is disputable. Nonetheless, the Trinity still

The three have their own separate personalities and amazing abilities. Recently, I read a book called “The Shack” by William P. Young that was about a man who got to encounter the three in each form. Now I might ask how can I believe something can be three things at once? It's simple; in Matthew 8:18-19 it states, “ Then

    of Masaccio's The Holy Trinity and Grunewald's The Isenheim Altarpiece The Holy Trinity by Masaccio was a painting done in approximately 1428. It is a superb example of Masaccio's use of space and perspective. It consists of two levels of unequal height. Christ is represented on the top half, in a coffered, barrel-vaulted chapel. On one side of him is the Virgin Mary, and on the other, St. John. Christ himself is supported by God the Father, and the Dove of the Holy Spirit rests on Christ's

    Last week, I attended an RCIA formation session at Holy Trinity church in Washington, DC for the first time. Being that I’m not Christian, this was actually my first exposure to Christian church services, and to learning about Christianity outside of a classroom. Coming into the experience, I did not know what to expect in terms of whom I would meet, what I would discover, and what value I would find in the session. My rough expectation was that the session, especially given that it occurred the

    triangular structure that pervades many of our most fundamental belief systems and life processes. This structure forms the basis for the tenets of some of the most grand attempts at a definition of the purpose and origin of humanity, from the holy trinity of Catholicism to Freud's theory of id, ego, and superego. Dubliners, in its own perhaps less ambitious pursuit of a certain significance of life, embodies and exemplifies similarly triangular frameworks. They are arranged concentrically, relating

    situation changes. Upon knowing some of John Donne’s personal history, especially of his eventual high position in the church, it is no surprise that religious overtones embellish much of his erotic poetry. The Holy Trinity is the body created by three entities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. "The Flea" shows Donne’s obsession with this divine number and can be examined as a series of several "threes" beginning with the total number of stanzas in the poem: 3. Each stanza contains 9 lines, making
