This week's reading was that of Chapter 22 (743-764, 764-772, 793-800).
I found a lot of things to be interesting in this chapter, but the main thing that I wanted to pull out and talk about was the painting called "Entombment" by Caravaggio.
There are so many different styles of painting that have been portrayed throughout the years and I think that "Entombment" is a great example of those styles and people in general.

There are many styles and interpretations of the "Entombment" of Christ because artists over time have been recreating it. These different pieces help to distinguish between the different eras of art and help to define the society or thinking of that time as well. There have been many different artists who put their spin into this one event; Pontormo and Michelangelo to name a few.

This connects to people in general because it is the same happening told by different perspectives of people (through their art) and it just shows how different and complex people are. One event, like the entombment of Christ, caused many people to be effected and all in a new, different way. When something happens, every person takes something different with them from the experience. People are curious that way, you won't know how someone will feel until after the occurrence, or how they deal with it after the fact. That definitely holds true in our everyday life, people are consistently changing and evolving, and putting new spins on old things like history. It's just amazing how there are so many points of views and none have the potential to be wrong. These pictures just go to show that people interpret things drastically different than others.
