Recognition

The honor that is achieved through an important achievement is known as glory.

Glory is the fame , honor and reputation that is obtained thanks to great achievements or good deeds . For example: "The Brazilian footballer achieved glory after scoring three goals in the championship final" , "I don't care about money, I only play for glory" , "The match ended with more pain than glory for the local team" .

Gloria is also the person who ennobles or exalts another subject or a group : "Maradona is the glory of Argentine football," "Every child is the glory of his parents." This word is also used to refer to pleasure or superlative taste : "For me, staying in bed reading the newspaper until noon is glory," "Glory is something similar to waking up every morning seeing the sea."

Glory in religion

In the field of religion , glory is the state of the blessed in heaven : "May God rest his soul." The term also allows us to name a prayer or song of the mass that begins with the Latin phrase "Gloria in excelsis Deo" .

All this without overlooking that in the field of painting we find various works of art that precisely reflect the religious concept of glory that we have mentioned. Among these paintings are, for example, "The Glory" that the Italian painter Titian made in the mid- 16th century , specifically in the period between 1551 and 1554 .

Likewise, we must not forget that the famous Spanish painter Francisco de Goya also did the same. In his case, the work in question is "The Glory" , a fresco painting made in 1772 that is also known as "Adoration of the name of God" .
