Do you think sending a portrait would carry the same weight in today's society? Do you think if the President sent his picture to an ally of the United States, it would reaffirm any relationship? How is it different today? How has society changed its perception of authority?

Religion changed from primitive times through the renaissance period until today such that certain church conventions and rules were set about how the holy family could be portrayed. for instance: mary must always be in a blue mantle, jesus could only be in a white robe after the resurrection, jesus could no longer be seen pointing with his walking stick when performing a miracle, and so on.hope this
