What elements of propaganda are in cranach's woodcut?

1 answer:

6 0

Lucas Cranach was a German Renaissance painter and printmaker in woodcut and engraving. He dedicated part of his career to embrace the Protestant Reformation. During his time, printed images varied from devotional and edifying to the criticism which could be drawn by Protestant illustrators both to condemn the Church of their day and to present an alternative ideology in positive terms.

As an element of propaganda, Cranach represented a contrast between the Christ compelled to carry his cross and the Pope carried in a litter. By doing that, the artist not only criticizes ostentation but also makes the metaphysical point that the true supporters of Christ involve suffering. It is consequently difficult to make a hard and fast distinction between positive and negative illustrations in these pamphlets.

Another polemical woodcut included the Cranach`s Revelation of St. John, most famously the depictions of the beast in the temple and of the prostitute of Babylon wearing papal tiaras. The tiaras proved controversial and were quickly withdrawn; but their original inclusion exemplifies the extraordinary freedom Luther felt able to apply in relation to the form of the holy text, provided that its essence was retained.

Gandhi used this type of warfare to defeat the British?

Gelneren [198K]

In 1914, Gandhi returned to India and lived a life of abstinence and spirituality on the periphery of Indian politics. He supported Britain in the First World War but in 1919 launched a new satyagraha in protest of Britain’s mandatory military draft of Indians. Hundreds of thousands answered his call to protest, and by 1920 he was leader of the Indian movement for independence. Always nonviolent, he asserted the unity of all people under one God and preached Christian and Muslim ethics along with his Hindu teachings. The British authorities jailed him several times, but his following was so great that he was always released.

Why is the policy of deterrence and treaties important?

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

hi here's ur answer

Deterrence theory is the idea that an inferior force, by virtue of the destructive power of the force's weapons, could deter a more powerful adversary, provided that this force could be protected against destruction by a surprise attack. This doctrine gained increased prominence as a military strategy during the Cold War with regard to the use of nuclear weapons and is related to, but distinct from, the concept of Mutual assured destruction, which models the preventative nature of full-scale nuclear attack that would devastate both parties in a nuclear war.
