have been enriched with the representation of certain <strong>objects<\/strong> considered <strong>symbols of life, death, fertility, beauty, fidelity<\/strong>, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below we tell you about <strong>some objects in art.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-coralnbsp\"><strong>The coral <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>coral<\/strong> has always been considered an extremely <strong>precious and sought-after material.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>sacred art<\/strong>, according to studies, it indicates <strong>religion<\/strong> &#8211; particularly the <strong>passion<\/strong> of Christ for its red color and branched shape that resembles <strong>blood vessels<\/strong> &#8211; and acquires <strong>apotropaic meaning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, coral has also become an <strong>amulet<\/strong> to ward off hostile forces, especially the evil eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is interesting to note the connection of its meanings with the very etymology of the word, which derives from the Greek <strong>&#8220;koraillon&#8221;<\/strong> meaning <strong>&#8220;hard skeleton,&#8221;<\/strong> or from the Hebrew &#8220;<strong>goral<\/strong>&#8220;, literally <strong>&#8220;stone with oracular powers.&#8221;<\/strong> Definitely a magical object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure

<strong>granatum&nbsp;(with seeds)<\/strong> is a red fruit, shaped like an apple but with internal seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If one thinks of the <strong>pomegranate<\/strong>, it is likely associated with the figure of <strong>Bacchus<\/strong>, from whose blood &#8211; according to myth &#8211; it originated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>pomegranate<\/strong>, used in both Western and Eastern cultures, generally assumes the <strong>meaning of fertility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not by chance, in ancient Greece, <strong>the pomegranate was a sacred plant to Venus and Juno, considered the protectors of marriage and fertility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Numerous paintings depict these deities holding a pomegranate in their right hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure

<strong>Venus<\/strong>, the goddess of love and fertility, was created from the foam brought to shore on top of a <strong>shell.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, <strong>the shell<\/strong> is a <strong>symbol of the feminine divinity<\/strong> in pagan worship, and later <strong>of love, birth, and reproduction.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many <strong>paintings<\/strong> representing
