The Doni Tondo by Michelangelo in 1507 represents an Italian masterpiece through the nature of the painting, the patronage, the artist, the rarity, and the shift in style. A tondo creates meaning through not only the content, but also the context. Rather than a wedding gift, the wife receives the tray or painting after the first live birth in the tradition of birthing trays. These trays were presented to women when they were accepted back into the community after birth, filled with fruits…

that memories don't "die." It's a cynical poem and also sad. Gold means special, rare, something beautiful such as sunsets, blooming flowers, kids staying sweet and innocent. In the poem, Robert Frost says "The first green of spring is her hardest hue to hold." In…

she impresses forever upon the sympathetic observer the very essence and source of her dazzling beauty: her image is sculptured on the gazer's soul, which is turned to receptive stone; or, alternatively, the melody of her musical beauty, the painted hues of her exquisitely rendered likeness, both become part of the gazer's now humanized and harmonized life. The stanza asserts, in other words, the transference of the creative power of the imagination from the Medusa to the sympathizing gazer.…

as dawn must subside to day. It connects to the idea that good things must come to an end because just as dawn must make way for day, all good things must fade away. Also, the author writes that “Nature’s first green is gold/ [Which is] her hardest hue to hold”…

The hazel hues of the woman's eyes stared blankly ahead, focused past the moving bodies before her but fixating on nothing. Valerie's whole world had crumbled around her in a matter of seconds it seemed. Blow after blow of bad news came like rapid waves from the ocean seeking to drown her.
