Portrait of Henry VIII

The Dionysus and his Thiasos was created in 525-500 BCE, in Athens, Greece. This artwork was created as a symbol towards the continuation of art development, and how knowledge continues to be passed down to the next generations.

This artwork shows Dionysus, who is the Greek god for wine and grape harvest, and his Thiasos, meaning his followers. According to "The Arts, a visual encyclopedia" book, Dionysus is sharing his knowledge about wine making to his followers, so they would be able to continue the legacy. this action is very alike to the saying, from father to son'' or "from mother to daughter"

The way this message is conveyed to the reader, is from the way the grapes vines are sprouting outwards to his followers. Those vines represent knowledge. The cup in Dionysus's hand seems like a glass, which represents the result. Dionysus represents "the father of knowledge", and the followers represent the next generations.

Adoration of the Magi

Adoration of the Magi is a Gothic artwork, created by an Italian artist, Gentile da Fabriano, in 1423. This artwork is drawn to be very realistic, and portrays lots of movement, and emotion from the people.

According to "The Arts, a visual encyclopedia", the Three Wise Men came to praise baby Jesus, and brought him many gifts.

Behind the artwork and the story, there is no message or a meaning that was supposed to be portrayed from the characters. But compared to the other old styles of painting, Gothic art is mean't to look very realistic. If artists were supposed to paint the Virgin Mary, or Jesus in Gothic style on a church's walls, they would need to use their imagination, and fantasize what they would've really looked like.
