This paper will describe the paintings of “The Annunciation” from painters Jan Van Eyck and Robert Campin. Even though the paintings are describing the same things I feel that there is more separating rather than bringing them together.

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. Robert Campin’s painting of “The Annunciation” was made on the Merode Altarpiece in about 1425. Robert Campin was a Netherland painter that lived…

various times by the Americans. The war was battled in Upper and Lower Canada, and on the Great Lakes and the Atlantic, and in the United States. The peace bargain of Ghent, which finished the war, to a great extent gave back existing conditions. Then again, in Canada, the war added to a developing feeling of national personality, including the thought that nonmilitary personnel officers were to a great extent in charge of repulsing the American invaders. Interestingly, the First Nations…

The first three invasions of Canada (where the British Troops were) that fail. The defeat of the Native Americans in October 1813. The invasion of the United States caused by England. As well as the invasion of the capital and the burn down of the White house. During the war Francis Scott Key wrote a poem named "The Star-Spangled Banner" that became the national anthem.
