Christian period is a period where Godliness was used as the
subject matter for art. Churches with sculptures of bible figures from the Old
Testament to the New Testament were abundant during this period. They all
fascinate me since I was once a knight of the altar who serves for God. I used
to use also bible figures as my subject matter during those days since I was so
intact to God. The Churches were so detailed that it would actually make you
look for too long just to satisfy your eye with those designs. If I would be
given a chance to visit one church during the Christian period, it would be the
St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Italy. I have an aunt in France and she once
visited the St. Peter's Basilica. She told me many wonderful things about it
and it really made an impact on me. I became more connected to my duty as a
knight of the altar. Years passed and it's still in me wondering how much more
beauty would it look like if I see it personally. Entering doors with intricate
designs from the lower part to the upper part of the door would be a memorable
experience. Looking at the paintings of different bible figures on the ceiling.
Sculpture was once my dream life goal since I find it
amusing and challenging. I want to have my own sculpture and this period also fascinated
me and gave me an idea of doing my own sculpture in the near future. Their
works were very detailed. From the wave of the hair to the facial expression of
each sculpture to the folds of the clothes worn are very exact. They are more
to realistic style because they want to show how each one from the bible
figures looks like during their times. These sculptures can be seen also in St.
Peter's Basilica. They were all been crafted carefully and with devotion to art
and to God that's why they were able to create these magnificent sculptures.
Paintings were also noticed during the Christian period. Their subject matters
are mostly about God during that time. Wall paintings are also famous
especially inside the churches. Different paintings depicting different occasions
are seen here. All of them are magnificent and should be well preserved for the
other generation to see the beauty of the remaining of Christian Period.
