Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist, introduced the notion of archetype into psychology. Archetypes are a common psychological heritage shared by the whole of mankind. Typical behaviours and the way people respond in certain everyday situations arise from archetypes, i.e., the common psychological heritage. These patterns of behaviour are often expressed unconsciously, and we can see them in people all around the world. Even though Jung was the one who introduced the concept of archetype into psychology, many others tackled this issue as well, and have further developed and expanded the concept. Some authors came up with female and male archetypes, and used them to try to describe typical female and male beliefs and behaviours. Both male and female archetypes are usually presented through positive and negative aspects, since one archetype can manifest either his positive or his negative aspect. In this paper, after a more detailed explanation of the notion of archetype and fine arts, there are descriptions of three female and three male archetypes. Those descriptions are based on the archetypes presented by the authors Linda Jarosch and Anselm Grün. In their book Königin und wilde Frau: lebe, was du bist! (original title), Jarosch and Grün present female archetypes, and in his book Kämpfen und lieben (original title), Grün presents male archetypes. Archetypes presented in these books are based on Biblical figures. The goal of this paper is to connect each of the chosen and described archetypes to a specific painting showing a certain Biblical figure. In this way, this paper is trying to establish the relationship between archetype description based on a Biblical figure, and the painting showing that same Biblical figure.
