In Bernini's David in the Baroque era is caught in the motion of hurling the stone at Goliath. “Baroque art was meant to evoke emotion and passion instead of the calm rationality that had been prized during the Renaissance.” During the Renaissance

Freedom is defined as “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint”. Is freedom needed in order to find human happiness or could having too much freedom be dangerous? In Chapter 5 of The Grand Inquisitor, the question surfaces: how does freedom relate to human happiness? I believe that a person’s freedom does not necessarily determine their happiness.

The iconographic representation of the Madonna and Child is one of the most common representations in Christian art. The term “icon” in this context is a reference to a holy image to which special veneration is given. While many works by many artists depict this subject, through their various differences we can chart a change in artistic as well as Christian ideals through the 13th-15th centuries.
