Sacrifice is something that is very influential in art, but mainly revolves around religion as sacrifice is mostly considered a holy act. Through these paintings, sympathy can be seen for what is actually sacrificed. Sacrifice is most often seen in religious art since it is a highly valued attribute in a religion. In these paintings, the first two heavily display the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the greater good of others. These paintings have much sympathy in them both in through the use of colors and position of the objects in the painting. Yet in the last painting sacrifice takes on a dark and evil sense, but still in the name of religion. The sacrifice of others is seen by many to be barbaric and sinful. We can see that sympathy is given to the one being sacrificed and hatred for one performing the act. These paintings were made in  such detail due to the age however. During the renaissance, religious art was heavily influential to artists of the time. For the most part sacrifice gives a heavy sense of sympathy and gratitude.
