A Connection Between Religion and The Arts

The connection between religion and art Egypt is an ancient civilization that thrives on the Nile and still exists in the country. As new knowledge continues to flow to Egypt, the art of civilization, medicine and architecture is a wonderful, remarkable achievement. Art, medicine and architecture are influenced by ancient Egyptian religion. The Egyptian religion has three main aspects: the worship of God, the role of the king, and faith in the life after death (Marston 34).

Nataraja of James Lochtefeld symbolizes "relationship between religion and art." This represents Shiva as the Lord of Dancing and includes all "creation, destruction, and everything in between". The image of Nataraja is ruthlessly celebrated while being surrounded by fire and incorporates a contrasting element which is not touched by ignorance or evil forces, and the spirituality beyond all duality is showing. Nataraja is an important visual interpretation of Brahmin and Shiva's dance. The details of Nataraja's artwork are fascinated by comments such as poetry and secondary literature which detailed its theological significance. It is one of the broadest research and the highest example of medieval Hindu art.

Gothic art is completely religious and gives the Roman Church powerful power for its growth power. In addition to inspiring the masses and their secular leaders, it also strengthened the relationship between religion and art, one of the foundations of the Italian Renaissance (1400-1530). The famous medieval artists of Gothic style are Simone Martini of Giovanni Pisano and Siena School of Painting. Like the Romanesque era, the best Gothic sculptor was used for architectural decoration. The most important example of the surviving stone sculpture is the entrance like the entrance of the western side of St. Doni Church which still has the same characteristics throughout the Gothic era: sculpture tympanic; numerical placement of sculpture Arches v wedge, And a more symbolic sculpture attached to the side of the portal

In ancient times, there was no boundary between art, spirituality and religion, and art succeeded in serving religion - it helped to obtain a sensible (visual) form of super spirituality. Art work supports and reinforces religious discourses and practices. Modernity is an era in which traditional religion is challenged and often completely abandoned. However, as I said, interest in spiritual or spiritual pursuit has not disappeared. Mental and religious problems are "shipped" to the art world. This is due to the relationship between art and religion in the early history, after which art continues to fulfill religious and spiritual purpose to some extent. Or it can be explained by the spiritual aspect of humanity. However, the tendency to associate art with spirituality, especially modernity is also due to excessive addiction of rationalism at this time.
