Post #2: Visual Art Collection

The following works have a particular impact on me. As you can see, I favor visual art that symbolizes many - both physical and emotional - aspects of life, tells a story, and has a centerpiece. I am also a firm believer of the Christian doctrine, and not afraid to express it.

The Archangel Michael defeating Satan
by
Guido Reni

Archangel Michael fights and defeats Satan, banishing him to the depths of hell as prophesied in the Bible.

David and Goliath
by
Jason Engle

[Digital Art] Outmatched but victorious through the power of God, the young David declares his victory over the arrogant Philistine giant.


ALLEGORY OF WAR
by
Peter Paul Rubens

Depicts the captive Dacia, the personification of the province of Dacia which had been conquered by Emperor Trajan in 106 AD. Her brow supported by her right hand, she seems to be contemplating the horrors of war.
