Catching Daniel in the midst of a passionate exchange, and being meticulously followed by a short, hunchbacked sorcerer, are but a few of seemingly abnormal occurrences that Father Laforgue experienced on his Jesuit mission of converting the natives to Christianity. Of course, in agreeing to take up this mission, Laforgue and his deviant companion, Daniel, were well aware of the differences in culture they were about to encounter—although not entirely prepared for how unwilling the ‘savages’ would be in their attempts to baptize them. Who would have thought that a “harvest of souls” under the power of an omnibenevolent God would be so difficult? In the final scenes of Black Robe, Laforgue performs a mass baptism on the Huron people in their

There are many variations of lines with various aspects each enhance; for example, an implied line makes us follow a line, that is not physically there, to another object, but an outline the edge of 2D and 3D

The use of line drastically changes the way Dai Jin of Sesshu portray their ideals and skill. In Dai Jin’s painting, his mastery of painting is clearly evident in his use of line quality. He uses jagged lines for the rocks, dotted lines for foliage, and shading, thick lines for darker areas, ink wash for the inside of the cave and other areas for shading, and dropped-in ink for the trees. He uses his skillful painting abilities to enhance the realism of the scene, to fully illustrate the realness of the story. Dai Jin isn’t just focused on the scene, however, and instead uses smooth, elegant, lines to outline Bodhidharma's body, and very curvy nervous lines for Huike’s body and clothes.

The sun beams from the sky are lighting up a small area of the painting and the rest is dark and gloomy. The gloominess of the painting represents dark and depressing times while the brightness of the sky creeps through thick dark clouds. This represents heaven because heaven is so large and bright and amazing that even though life is hard and seems like the world is ending, there is always something greater out there. Personally, I love this painting. I really like how Dore paints that trees and valley dark because it really highlights the beams from the sun.

Bierstadt and Bradley’s paintings both share the line as an element and rhythm as a principal.
