Religion influences

4.04 Religion influences art by bringing to the forefront of the artwork important principals and lessons that are taught in that specific religion. The Islamic example I selected is the dome of the Selimiye Mosque. The other work of art I have selected is Christ as the Good Shepherd from the Catacomb of Priscilla. Both of these works of art have elements specific to their religion.
