2/15/2018 0 Comments February 15th, 2018 I may get in trouble for posting about something like this, but I would like to talk about the topic of religious art. The purpose of this is to not reveal what religion I follow or even praise a specific religion. I chose this specific artwork simply because I want to comment about what I like about it. With that being said, I like the symbolism being represented in this painting. As you might know, Buddhism, in which this is based off of, is one of the religions that emphasizes the battle between good and evil. With this in mind, I like how to "good" figure (center) is surrounded in a lighter shade, while the "evil" forces (outer) are portrayed in a darker shade. In addition to this, I also liked how it followed the tradition of religious style art and gave Buddha a halo. This is a practice famously seen in artworks pertaining to Christianity.
