During 17th century, ballet and opera were born of royal entertainments in Italy and France. For that time, they used opera house for some spectacular productions celebrating marriages or political visited by kings or nobles to show off their wealth and power. Besides, they also used opera house for their entertainments. These entertainments mixed with musical, dance, and magnificent…

it was obvious that Cassius, Brutus and Decius each one would form their own army and live in a constant civil war for the reason that each wanted ultimate power over the Senate and the political system itself. Caesar is portrait in the play, as a noble and gentle man when he is conversing with his wife, who is trying to persuade him to stay home for fear that something, will happen to him. Brutus on the contrary shows as a man thirsty for avarice and for…

textbook explains how Henry II was the one to setup the courts. The textbook states, “Henry II was especially interested in extending the system of royal justice and employed itinerant judges, who traveled the realm, to render justice. Because these judges began to rely on a “common law” when reaching a decision, people started to look at these royal courts to settle a case, rather than to Church or baronial courts.” In comparison to Jones’ article which only briefly states, “John’s father,…

Part I: Summary The history of Ireland is a vast and fascinating tale that has been translated into history, folk tales, mythology, and can be written and talked about for ages, which it has been. Now I could write a 100 page essay with a bibliography on this subject but of course it shall be condensed down to 6 pages. The two chapters/subjects I have chosen to write about from the “In Search of Ancient Ireland” text are chapter 9: Raiders from the Sea, and chapter 10: Viking Kings in Dublin. I…

Since the entire piece is of alabaster I believed that the piece was too delicate for a person to used daily. Nevertheless, a noble could have used it to display their own grace and wealth. Another reason why the artist might have chosen alabaster instead of ordinary wood, aside from the noble or royal user’s status, lies in alabaster’s almost supernatural quality to absorb light. This is beauty in itself; beauty held by the user whenever they held this tool. The…

most of her drawing has to do with the domestic subject; Jacques Louis David is a French artist but not an artist of the Impressionist movement.

their own; [and] whether speaking, reading, and writing are gender marked” (252). She concludes that insufficient evidence exists in the dialogue between the genders, that language is not codified by sex and therefore cannot be regarded excepting “styles, strategies,…

The Causes and Impact of the French Revolution America’s triumph over Britain in 1783 ignited the belief that a revolution could spark the necessary economic, social, and political changes that the impoverished masses in France so desired. Famine, disease, and poverty swept through pre-revolutionary France. These factors entwined with the despot political system inflamed a decade long revolution and catapulted France from a feudal society into a dominant world force. The storming of the…

So now, let us walk over to the three dimensional artworks of Rome. A Greek Hellenistic type of Aphrodite with Eros was adapted by the Romans to represent imperial women with their infants. As you can see here, we have the “Bust of a Woman”. This fine sculpture echoes the taste that the Romans inspired to have when making portraits of women. Can anyone tell me, what it is that the Romans inspired to create in their sculptures? “They wanted to create realism.” Yes, that is correct, in fact if you…

in chapter 11, and this presentation, is in Europe. France, Italy, Germany and England played a huge role in the gothic art style. Most of the gothic art is found over in that region. Originally gothic art was just called “modern art” or the “French style.” Gothic art emerged in France, in the early 12th century at the Abbey Church of St Denis built by Abbot Suger. The style spread beyond its origins…
