What’s the reason people created these artworks?
can anyone explain the reasons why the artists made these artworks?
The Great Pyramids
Assurnasirpal II Killing Lions
Virgin and Child in Majesty
Mausoleum of Galla Placidia (Mosaic) – Good Sheperd
Gero Crucifix
Apollo
If you could just tell me anything you know about these. Like why people created them and why people worshiped these works. Thanks
I have never heard of anyone worshiping any of these.
The Pyramids and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia are tombs for burying dead in. The Statue Virgin and Child in Majesty and the Gero Crucifix were created to honor Christ (and the Blessed Mother) by creating something beautiful in their honor. Assurnasirpal II Killing Lions and statues of Apollo were created to honor Assurnasirpal II, the king of Assyria, and the pagan god Apollo, respectively.
Plus the artists made money, and everyone’s gotta eat.

Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump $8.68 The first of their three-album Art Official Intelligence series, Mosaic Thump is a likable album, full of inspired moments. It’s also the closest thing De La Soul have ever come to making a less-than-stunning LP. Maybe it’s the contemporary production style that weakens songs like “U Can Do” and “I C Ya’ll.” Maybe it’s the (far too) many cameos by bigwigs like Busta Rhymes and Redman and not enoug… |
