Essays on Francesco

Francesco Bassano’s "The Adoration of the Magi" presents a 16th century depiction of the birth of Jesus and the presentation of gifts to him by the wise men that is accounted in the Bible. The elegant dress of these individuals is made even more exotic by the the way that their bright colors are contrasted with the otherwise dim and dreary atmosphere. The magi, baby Jesus, and Mary are all the primary focus of the picture and demonstrate the homage that the wise men paid to the young savior. Oil on canvas was used in order to depict ...

I want to know more about the artist and his work. Fortunately, I live close to San Francesco and drove there on a weekend. I stayed ...

Faith is a serious matter. So serious that it has been studied, researched and investigated along the History of mankind by religious and science experts. Sociology is a branch of science that studies not only the origin, development and structure of human societies, in general, but also the behavior of individuals and groups. It is, therefore, quite natural that Sociology pays close attention to religion as a rich field of investigation, as it is connected to what is the most precious in human terms: your mind, or if your prefer, your soul. Religion commands people’s feelings, beliefs, conduct ...

Mona Lisa was an oil painting made by Leonardo da Vinci in the sixteenth century. It was meant for the eyes of the upper-class, having been bought by King Francois in the year 1516 and later spending some time in the bedroom of Napoleon.

However, Riby, Gwyneth, and Whittle dispute that face to face communication might cause a barrier to effective communication since the parties involved in the process might shy away from eye contact.

Women in art have always been a very mysterious and intriguing object to observe, both from the perspective of women as an object and a subject for the painting. Mona Lisa is possibly the most recognized painting in the world. She still puzzles its every observer with her gaze and feeble smile, welcoming him to silent communication. Frida Kahlo is the world’s most recognized woman artist. However, she neither invites for silent conversation in her Self-Portrait with Cropped Hair, nor does she puzzle the observer. What Frida does, is pictures her soul openly and frankly, not hiding anything, not leaving ...

With Luca Signorelli (1445/1450 - 1523) was accomplished, with a clearer awareness, the transition from painting as a representation to painting as example of a more aware artistic poetic. The antithesis between the pictorial formal system of Piero della Francesca and the Florentine method was essentially the antithesis between being and becoming, between stasis and movement. The historical moment was of a great religious crisis: the Catholic Church needed a form of art that did not search the absolute, on the contrary the role of a work of art was to speak and persuade the shaken believers with clear arguments. Luca Signorelli was born ...

(Sexual Relationships)

Talking about sexual relationships is opening the most important chapter, though the least assumed one, of the life’s themes: the drive to fulfill one’s deepest need to be complete as a person. Sex is, ultimately, a quest for personal fulfillment disguised in another strong feeling: pleasure. It is pleasure, the intense, magical, addicting pleasure of sex that is the reason why religions – with all its strict moral values – , societies and ethic have always been so violently concerned to restrict, shape, twist and control its expression. The erotic world is a world apart, with a mystical language that has no parallel ...

The first successful powered flight was carried out by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903. However, there was human flight before the Wright brothers made their accomplishments. These pre-twentieth century fliers were not foolish dreamers, since their desire for human flight was usually more often than not informed by what were then valid scientific principles. Those who attempted flight before the twentieth century actually formed the basis on which the developers of human flight in later centuries applied (Crouch, 2004).

One of the pre-twentieth century fliers was Leonardo da Vinci, who seems to have developed many of the initial ...
