The Renaissance art in the museums of Europe
impacted me deeply during the backpacking trip in 2014.
Tempestt told me I should listen to Logic's album in its entirety the first thing I noticed was the album art. I remember when I saw the original.
I remember when I returned to America after that trip. My religious views had changed.
I wrote about it on June 21, 2014
It was a mix of seeing this piece of art at a concentration camp
That art made after symbols of hate by a group of people who are now allowed to march freely in my country, and the Sistine Chapel wall by Michelangelo in 1541.
I remember reflecting on another piece I saw even months later September 13, 2014 The Stanza della Segnatura by Raphael in 1511. The four walls in one of the Raphael rooms the room of the Signatura. This piece challenged my thoughts on Faith and Science the two contradicting worlds today then together harmoniously. It helped me open my mind to allow the two to exist in the same space in my head, to greet each other with a bow and dance, their movements and song plays on in my mind today still working out the steps like trying to make out every word when they should simply hum along.
It's interesting how religious artwork has a way of unraveling religious beliefs.
The Wedding Feast at Cana is a biblical story about Jesus turning water to wine
The Last Judgment and The Room of the Signatura are both found in the Vatican.
The place where the most powerful Christian religious leader lives.
Logic's album art used this piece to make an anti religious statement
and the Vatican art, which I believe was mostly made by atheist Renaissance artists, had an impact on my mind and heart opening it to other possibilities beyond what is taught within the walls of churches.
