The Christian religious western paintings adopt the palm tree in two major narratives in the life of Jesus:
the Flight to Egypt and his triumphal entrance into Jerusalem at the start of the Passion.
The martyrs were often shown holding a palm frond as an attribute.
Uncommon in the areas of the Roman Campaigna in which landscape painting flourished, the palm tree in the secular landscape paintings of the Mediterranean coast, appear in the 19th century, when they became popular plant
In classical mythological painting is a sacred sign of Apollo, who was born under a palm tree on the island of Delos.

1. The tears in painting, a symbol of pain or joy.
The depiction of tears in painting has been a frequent theme for centuries.
Associated with religious, mythological or secular figures,
tears symbolize human emotions, from sadness to joy to love, hate, gratitude or ingratitude …
3. A powerful scene ...
Jesus Christ on his agonizing journey to Calvary,
bearing the weight of the cross upon his shoulders.
The artist masterfully portrays not only Christ's physical pain
but also his unwavering determination to fulfill his divine mission.
Jesus addresses the viewer with a look of composed but intense pain,
His tear-filled eyes convey both physical agony and spiritual anguish.
Adding to the suffering a violent realism in this composition –
the guard grabbing grabs Christ's hair.

6. Exhausted, Christ looks at the viewer, a tear runs down his cheek, yet his glance radiates dignity
as he fulfils his destiny.
Surrounding him is a multitude of flamboyantly dressed characters, now helping him by holding
up the cross, now punishing him with lashes, like the man dressed in red in the centre.
The soldier in front of Christ, with a harsh and enigmatic expression, also addresses the
spectator and displays a crescent moon on his shoulder, evoking the Muslim enemy.
In the background, a delicate landscape, in which the sorrowful group of the Virgin and St. John
stand out in the distance, and as a climax, the city of Jerusalem, treated as a Nordic city.

Mary's face is one of desperate sadness, with large tears on her cheeks.
Mary Magdalene ... more human, more sensitive, more expressive,
She stands immobile.
Seated at the foot of the cross, turns her face towards the observer
as if she wanted to make him a witness to this unjust torture.

the spear with which the Roman soldier Longinus pierced his right side
after his death on the cross.

34. This work sparked controversy and confusion among viewers ...
angels dressed in red and orange (Bible verses describe angels dressed in white),
Jesus's spear wound is shown on the wrong side of his body (which Manet realized only
after he had submitted the painting to the Salon),
the weeping angel has the low look and is far from the Christ
But a new champion of Manet, Emile Zola, was particularly attracted by this work:
"Were are told that this Christ is not a Christ, and I admit that may be so.
As far as i am concerned it is a corpse, painted boldly and vigorously, with the light full on it.
I even like the angels in the background - children with great blue wings.“

40. sublime Mater Dolorosa ...
Set against a gold background signifying a timeless, heavenly realm,
the Virgin is an embodiment of compassion and an intercessor for humankind with Christ.
The Virgin is red-eyed and weeping.
Her grief was intended to inspire empathy in the viewer who is encouraged, like her,
to meditate upon the suffering of Christ at the Passion, his torture and crucifixion.

52. the Saint’s humanity …
Saint Peter, whose eyes well with tears due to his guilt in denying Christ during the Passion,
turns to heaven to beg for divine forgiveness.
The topic of the tears of Saint Peter would be used by theologians and moralists
in the Counter-Reformation as a way to approach the faithful, drawing parallels between
the saint’s weakness and that of mortal men through the offence committed.

55. an angel banished from Paradise as punishment for his disobedience, his rebellion against God,
an angel cast out, humiliated,
an most beautiful angel, full of anger towards his creator ...
painted as a Greek hero, as a god with a perfect body,
sitting on dark rocks,
raises his head and looks at the land of his exile...
this defiant and at the same time tragic look with this tear that trembles under the eyelid
Like a rejected lover, who no longer expects to be loved,
he is inhabited by a suffering so great that it can only lead him to suicide or revenge.
And we understand that it is revenge that he has chosen ...

58. Faithful angels flee to heaven.
They abandon the one they admired.
They are faithful and pale.
As is often the case in painting, they have the insipidity and banality of the dominant morality. ..
Fallen Satan is more beautiful, suffering and alive, more fascinating than the flock of faithful angels who bleat!

60. Rembrandt, the emotion and light,
tears in the eyes in a magnificent painting ...
Lucretia has pierced her chest with her blade …
traces of blood on her gown,
the dagger in her hand,

eyes moistened by tears,
she knows that she is about to die, and is preparing herself for that moment.

63. Niobe, the queen of Thebes, shelters her youngest daughter from Apollo and Diana‘s arrows ...
The queen’s thirteen other children lie wounded or dead in the painting’s foreground.
This violent scene, drawn from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, illustrates Niobe’s punishment for
boasting of her own power and fertility,
Apollo and Diana (Artemis) took it upon themselves to avenge their mother
by riddling Niobe's children with arrows.
Niobe's grief was so great that Zeus, granting her wishes,
transformed her into a rock from which a spring gushed, nourished by her abundant tears.

66. The depiction of married couples before their wedding night was very popular
in the Netherlands.
This painting is a satire on the subject.
The bride, depicted at an advanced age, is weeping bitterly, while the bridegroom
is trying to console her.
The bride is afraid of the wedding night ...
An allusion to the life of a married woman is the chamber pot offered by the young man.
The chamber pot was part of the marital bedroom (it is often found
in 17th-century Dutch genre paintings) and thus becomes, for the bride,
a vestige of the loss of innocence.
The wreath of ripe cherries on the old woman's head is an ironic mockery
of the image of the bride.

the sailboat of the fugitive in the distance,
the crown of stars symbolizing her union with Bacchus
the disappointment of seeing her lover run away,
the joy of finding a comforter
and
the expression on her face, where a smile and tears merge …
