Greene knew of the British Army’s advancements and had set up three lines of defense to fight the British, whose army was under half the size and was weary from traveling.

    The Influence of Daphnis and Chloe’s Translation of 1718 on 18th Century Art: The Impact of an Artist’s Subject Matter Throughout history, there has always been a consistent interest in Classical arts and literature and from this intellects in all subjects have based their life works. In perspective to this, Longus’ Daphnis and Chloe from the Second Sophistic (2nd/3rd Century AD) has played a role in guiding itself to become not only a novel but also artworks from paintings to plays (Morrison, 50-76). However, the novel needed multiple translations to become available to a wider range of audience members throughout the last two-thousand years to evolve as we know it in the present day. The first major translation from Greek to French was by Jacques Amyot in 1559 and is the most prominently referenced conversion (McCail, xxviii).…

Robert Campin was a Flemish Painter that was based in Tournai who made paintings for both middle and high-class civilians. Jan Van Eyck was also a Flemish Painter that was based in Burges who mostly worked very wealthy patrons. Jan Van Eyck’s “Annunciation” was painted on the exterior of the Ghent Altarpiece that was created in 1432 at the cathedral of Saint Bavo.…

    The scene of Renaissance art is not exactly how many paint it today. While during the fifteenth century Renaissance a plethora of art as well as artists were created, the concept of ‘artistry’ was completely foreign. Today, when we see Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” and Michelangelo’s statue of David, we identify both as art and comparably we recognize the beauty of the art forms that they are. However, during the Renaissance, Botticelli, a painter, and Michelangelo, a sculptor, would have been recognized as having two very distinct professions and comparison of the two would be nonexistent.…
