In the essay “Naturalism and the Venetian ‘Poesia’: Grafting, Metaphor, and Embodiment in Giorgione, Titian, and the Campagnolas,” Campbell explains the role of poetic painting, poesia, in Venetian artwork during the 1500s. Titian personally used the term poesia when he “[referred] to paintings he was making for [King Philip II] with subject matter derived from the ancient poets.” Poesia now refers to a type of sixteenth century Venetian painting, which Giorgione and Titian initiated and used
Melancolia I After the death of his mother in 1514, Dürer created Melancolia I [figure 5], a copper engraving that is “widely considered the pinnacle of classical printmaking” (Chudnovsky, 2014). Moreover, the engraving is an excellent example of Dürer’s integration of mathematics into his art (Walton, 1994). Accordingly, Dürer was quite pleased with Melancolia I and he produced reproductions of it on the best paper available and gave them away as a form of self-promotion. The allegorical work is
Printmaking was an effective way in the sixteenth century to convey images through time and space. Many artists reproduced a painting by making it a print. In the Renaissance period, the replication culture, meaning artists copied the works of others, prevailed. Many printmakers copied the works of masters in painting for various purposes. As Lisa Pon wrote in her book: “If the Renaissance was a culture devoted to finding new ways and orders, it was also a culture inclined to find the roots of that
the painting landscape with the Fall of Icarus is closely related to the verbal communication of the poem. In fact, the poem is almost a literal retelling of the event depicts in the painting. As you read the Auden's poem, the allusions to the old masters, and to the legend of Icarus and Daedalus guide you to expand the understanding of the poem's theme. "Musee des Beaux Arts" is an especially rich poem for illustrating Auden's way of showing suffering and human unconcern.

The physical and emotional conditions they faced were horrible, their masters overworked them, and many had to do unprofessional work instead of work that enabled them to use their own personal skills. Young British men felt that because they faced such horrible circumstances, the exchange between a free voyage to America in

In the American movie depicting Hachiko’s life and death titled Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, the professor is an American named Parker Wilson. The only thing that was not changed during the retelling of Hachi’s life in the movie was the breed of dog which is called an Akita. Argos waits for twenty years for his master Odysseus
States. What were the social issues that occurred as slaves had relations with other slaves or their masters? Government scandals, black salve owners, and law changes have all came about as part of the social discrepancies that came along with slave relations. Biographies of William Ellison, the first African American slave owner, will be scrutinized to see the social implications of a slave master owning slaves of the same ethnicity.

"Don't give me those, but let me have ones that kill in combat”(Spartan Anonymous). It is many do not know how true this quote was in Ancient Sparta. The Spartans dedicated their lives to being the best warriors to walk the earth. They were molded from the time they were infants into masters of weaponry, stealth, and fear.
Albrecht Dürer was a German Renaissance artist known for his prints, and books on proportion. For over a hundred years, Knight, Death and Devil,(cat. 1) Saint Jerome in His Study,(cat. 2) and Melencolia I, (cat. 3) have been considered Dürer’s Meisterstiche, or “master prints.”1 There are several different interpretations of these 3 engravings, the imagery with in them, and their relation to each other. These Master Prints are probably the most written about of Dürer’s work. In the year 2014, we
Henrik Ibsen was born in March of 1828 in the town of Skien, Norway. Ibsen spent most of his young life in poverty. At 16 years old, he moved to the town of Grimstad to apprentice for a future in pharmacy. Although Ibsen did not succeed in pharmacy school, his time spent in Grimstad still had importance because it was here that Ibsen discovered his knack for poetry. After spending several years in Grimstad learning and reading, Ibsen thought it time to head to Christiania. His intensions were

The 1960’s was a time of war and fear for the United States and many people were turning their accusations towards the government. “Masters of War” was written by Bob Dylan in late 1962 and early 1963. The focus of this song is a protest against the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis that was happening during the early 1960’s. The song is protesting on the American government having its citizens live in fear of a constant attack and hiding behind their shroud, unaffected by anything that would

From the first painting, in which the ambitious fathers of the couple exchange money and titles, to the final two prints that show the husband and wife’s melodramatic deaths, each of the six prints tells both a episode in the story of this doomed arranged marriage and a story in and of itself. The first two Marriage à la Mode prints, The Marriage Settlement and Shortly After the Marriage, both contain numerous works of art, architecture, period dress and other carefully
benefited economically from slave labor. This unique American practice of forced labor was especially horrific compared to other forms of slavery because it targeted a specific ethnic group to be human bondservants who were typically indebted for life to masters, while dehumanizing everyone of that same ethnicity in the process. This truly incriminating social injustice did not rest easily with American’s conscience. Often being seen as undemocratic, slavery was in needed of a persuasive moral justification
