Is it true that a nonbeliever of  religion could not possibly understand the content of a religious piece? That religious pieces in themselves do not deliver messages that transcend to all - Believers and non-believers alike.

Join us on this episode of Exploring Art. In unpacking an age-old question of religion and understanding.

Today we will be delving into the beautiful artwork of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, an extraordinary Italian painter that got his name by shedding a light on religion through large-scale, intense realism. For this podcast, we will be zeroing in on his Conversion of St. Paul piece, a painting illustrating a horse and two men in battle, it reminds me somewhat of the Creation of Adam portrait by Michelangelo, only with more of a violent tone. However, Jacob Burckhardt, Benard Berenson, and Rudolf Wittkower have a different take on what the painting may mean. Our goal is that by analyzing this painting and picking out certain points of symbolism we can eventually declare which writer is correct in their interpretation of the painting. How does that sound?

Beyond Realism is a podcast which aims to not only interpret art but also to question it and it’s contributors. In this week’s episode we consider the Renaissance artist Raphael as a prime example of Joshua Reynold's statement that inaccurate “realistic” art can still be meaningful. We open this for discussion amongst our panel and come to a conclusion on whether Reynold’s statements mean for the world of art, Raphael’s acclaimed works, and the individuals who experience these works.

James Baldwin once said “All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up”. On this episode of we're going to be taking a deep dive in the deeper meaning of various artwork and explore what stories are being told. Who was alexander the great and did he actually slay a minotaur?  What was the deal with Botticelli’s birth of Venus and what are its connections to the virgin marry?
