Up there with religious figures posters
When we talk about angels, these can come in all types and forms, depending on the cultural background and the societal
circumstances one finds himself in. Nonetheless, it cannot be denied that there is an archetypal version of these
celestial beings which we owe to a particular period in history. You will see how and why with our religious figures
posters. The age of the Renaissance was the age of rebirth, as the name already implies. It was a time when the world
woke up and recognized itself because its artists broke from the chains of the Church and interpreted the world as they
saw it. However, religious images did not go away but did generate meanings of their own. Angels were a very common
element used in paintings and works of art during the Renaissance. Just like angels, the artists of that time were
messengers who clearly signified that times had changed. Abduction of Europa - Cora Wandel is wonderfully rich in detail
and equipped with such vibrant colours that it will make any room pop. This is just one of the many religious figures
posters that can have such a visual impact on your home or office.
Peace and serenity
Buddhism started as early as 4th or 6th BCE when Siddharta Gautama began to spread his teachings of suffering, nirvana
and rebirth in India. Since Siddharta himself was averse to accept images of himself and used many different symbols to
illustrate his teachings, there are eight different auspicious symbols of Buddhism, and many say that these represent the
gifts that God made to Buddha when he achieved enlightenment. You will see these in religious figures posters such as
Neutral Lotus Buddha Squared, where lotus can have several meanings, but often refers to the inherently pure potential of
the mind. In the Buddhas section of religious figures posters, you will discover real life photographs that instantly
transport you to the location like Buddhist Statue, Hong Kong. There are also works of art that give this spiritual
belief a whole new and deeper meaning, like Buddha Square.
The holy book in religious figures
Since its beginnings during the first century of the Roman Empire, Christianity has spread around the world strong and
fast to become the principal religion, value-system and social agenda of mankind. The Christian Church was the largest
and most influential patron of the arts for a very long time, and still retains that title in its assets. From the
outset, the Christian Church used many different types of art in order to create an identity for itself, increase its
power and thus attract worshippers. You can see this in architecture, sculptures, paintings, decorative art, illuminated
manuscripts and Photowall's selection of religious figures posters. Holy Trinity - Corrado Giaquinto is just one of the
many stunningly stylish and meaningful motifs in our religious figures posters array.
