what higher praise is there to man, than to say that the spirit of God is in him?

Imagine some fellow, seeing your work, told you: "At all points in my life I have sensed, vividly or dimly, some great presence of absolute goodness which stands behind all that I can see, smell, feel, hear. I know it in the sound when a big wind sweeps through thousands of trees at a distance, or in the scent of smoke from a campfire, or the lively harmony of a lush and busying avenue on optimistic soft-lit mornings as a city wakes. I have felt it too when men were generous, or when they held to truth against the rewards of falsity, or when they were overcome with selfless hope, looking on their newborn child. This I have known as one spirit, wholly good, never quite all here; the faintest traces of heaven revealing themselves in our sad and fallen world. What you have done just now radiates that spirit, and I know that you were filled with its brilliance as you worked."

This is what it means to see the works of man and praise God. It is not at all to be taken as a slight to the man.

Does anyone have any modern architecture that goes against the trend of making everything very minimalistic and utilitarian, while not just retreading old ground? I asked this question before, and got recommended the Sagrada Familia, which fits perfectly but sadly I'm already familiar with it.

Paintings and sketches of nonexistent architecture is fine too.

I like the way he tried to fuse painting and music. I'd say few people did this at the time (before impressionism came and made it common/boring)

Recent favorite of mine by Duccio depicting Peter's third denial. Nice interpretation of the story, showing the paradox of Peter's affirmation of faith or preservation of reputation. Good attention to detail, with the crow in the top-left corner and the dark robes Jesus was beat in. Too bad the whole set wasn't repainted to include linear perspective

wow you christfags are stupid sometimes

you can dance around the fact, but when you say God made the picture, you are definitely saying that in some degree the painter did not make it. how can you be so dense as to not see that?

People only post their art and have no knowledge of art philosophy and history. I saw an abstract art argument once and I honestly didn't know which side was dumber and less informed about the subject.

>music has no right to exist
You cannot compare the two do blatantly. (Musical) harmony exists in nature and is therefore not an abstraction (at least the concept of music). Of course I cannot disagree that music is abstracted emotion but it is a very different kind of abstraction than the abstraction featured in painting. A kind of natural abstraction, if you will, one that can be understood by other humans as if it was part of nature
