By. DeAngelo Ellison                                                   Welcome, this gallery will consist of art being displayed in color and being used in religious form. With religion being such a broad topic I chose to narrow my pieces down to religious artwork of the Egyptian time period. The Egyptian believed to provide for the Gods and gain their favor.
