Answer:

Art plays a smaller role in Protestantism, due to its iconoclast approach. On the other hand, it has played an important role for the Catholic Church to express religious feelings around the Catholic faith.

Explanation:

Art in the Catholic Church consists of all visual works created to illustrate, supplement, and tangibly portray the teachings of this religion. This includes sculptures, paintings, mosaics, metal art, embroidery, and architecture. Catholic art has played an important role in history and the development of Western art since at least the fourth century. The main theme in Catholic art has been the life and times of Jesus Christ, along with his disciples, saints, and Old Testament events.

The Protestant Reformation during the 16th century in Europe gave rise to a new artistic tradition that adhered to Protestant themes and diverged drastically from the tradition of southern Europe and the humanist art produced during the Renaissance. In turn, the Catholic Counter-Reformation reacted against and responded to Protestant criticisms of art in the Catholic Church producing a more astringent style of Catholic art. Protestant religious art embraced the values of Protestantism and helped the proliferation of Protestantism, but greatly reduced the amount of religious art produced in Protestant countries. Artists in Protestant countries diversified into secular art forms such as history painting, landscape painting, portrait painting and still life painting.

The Protestant Reformation gave rise to a wave of iconoclasm, (destruction of religious images). All forms of Protestantism showed hostility towards religious images, considering them expressions of idolatry, especially sculpture and large paintings. The illustrations in books and prints were less resisted, since they were smaller and more private. Protestant leaders, especially Huldrych Zwingli and John Calvin, actively removed images of churches controlled by their followers and branded the great majority of religious images, even simple crosses, of idolatry.

Catholic art may be more effective in terms of spiritual feelings because it looks to overwhelm the senses of the observer, which can be adequate for spirituality.

kari74 [83]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The reasons why Napoleon might have had for selling the Louisiana Territory to the United States could have been the following.

Experts agree on two basic reasons for French Emperor Napoleon decided to sell the huge Louisiana territory to the United States. The first reason, France needed a lot of money. It had deep debts as a result of many wars. Secondly, the Lousiana territory was immense and was too far away from France, so it was very difficult to defend.

These circumstances were an advantage to President Thomas Jefferson, who sent James Madison to help Robert Livingston (the Minister to France) in order to accelerate the negotiations to close the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.

How was the Estates-General useful in uniting France under one national identity?
Sliva [168]
The Estates-General was established in 1789 by King Philip IV of France as a collective group of nobles, clergymen, and commoners to unite France as a single national unity. They served together as a single legislative body of the French Government. All social classes were given equal voting rights and rights to enforce taxation laws. As a result, privileges were not reserved exclusively for the wealthy people. The establishment of Estates-General was one of the reasons for the French Revolution.
