Seen in both “Birth of Venus” (ca. 1482) and “Galatea” (ca. 1513), the theme of divine love is portrayed through the mythical ideals of the feminine form. An ode to nature through the sexual sense of the female nude, both works…

    and their children often ran high. While the Italian immigrants were devoted to their faith and on conscious, intentional, and spiritual levels, it seems that many of their children continued their religious and familial values on cultural and subconscious levels, rather than a spiritual one, and often times did so out of resignation or obligation, rather than genuine enthusiasm. One of the most important parts of the year for a member of the Italian Harlem community was the festa- the feast…

    I am an alien, an Italian immigrant who first learned how to change when he was eleven years of age.

Socialists had a difficult time reorganizing because of the repeated violence toward local leaders. Large demonstrations, assisted by the police and higher classes, were…

    Mary McCarthy’s pretty loyal to Vasari’s portrayal of Paolo Uccello. She describes him as a solitary character incredibly focused on work; to the point that he would just shut himself away to deal with his long term perspective project. Vasari speaks similarly of Uccello, even arguing that Uccello spentso much time on his project that he “nothing but waste his time, exhaust his powers, fill his mind with difficulties” McCarthy often quotes Vasari when describing the life of Uccello. And focuses…
