The work was made up of two sides which are called war and peace. Through the use of lapis lazuli, the work shows a connection with European trade as this was a very valuable resource at the time the art was made. The war side is a depiction of an Ancient Near Egypt Kinship, and shows the king defeated his enemy. The peace side gives us an insight to the celebrations of the king and his people stemming from agricultural surplus and peace with enemies.

The scene depicts Hu Nefer getting his heart weighed against the maat. If the heart were to not balance the person who died would receive a non existent afterlife, whereas if it were to balance the person would receive the gift of the afterlife. This shows a religious connection to the afterlife as at the time the belief was that when someone were to die in that certain culture, they would become something new.

The mural contains an abundance of figures from Diego Rivera himself to even a skeleton that serves as a parody of vanity. This work is an example of surrealism as it is based on a dream which is not reality. This basis connects with the works or other surrealist artists such as Salvador Dali that focused their artwork based on something that is not real. In this work specifically rivera is heavily influenced by Jose Posada who was a well known narrative painter whose style served as an example for Rivera’s mural

This work is a depiction of Jesus’ final meal on the earth with his disciples near to him. This event is remembered for when he says that one of his disciples, which we know now as Judas will betray him. A heavenly connection to Jesus Christ can be drawn to the triangle formed by his body in the image, which connects with building San Carlo Allá Quattro Fontane as both use geometric forms for heavenly connections.Through using Linear perspective, Leonardo creates an emphasis on the figure in the middle which is presumed to be Jesus Christ. This work connects with the School of Athens through the use of Linear perspective

It depicts two sides  separated by a tree which as sin on the left and grace on the right. Martin Luther was the leader of this reformation and started it in order to rebel against the church for their ongoing indulgences. Hence why Cranach depicted one side as a criticism of the Catholic Church through showing examples such as Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit, and the other grace side shows Christ risen from the tomb. This work connects with the image of Adam and Eve on the image set through different depictions of the two
