Wow, you are right. After intense stare at the art, while studying every detail on them, the first and second art has something in common, and that is the power that surrounds the church with the light view.
It gives this calm feeling to it despite the fact that they may be having a strong debate on political shenanigans. Lol, I am not quite a big fan of politics.
However, I have got to say these arts are exceptionally brilliant!
I'm not a big fan of politics either, but politics is still powerful today, even without the church. However, looks like in some countries the church still has a lot of power.
That's the truth. There's power in political games. And, I believe they are some countries where churches depict power.
