Though in the second painting, that of James Wolfe, although he’s on the floor and probably at the verge of death, he is placed in the middle so as you look at the painting you would know it is all about the General. But who are these men? They must be great men in history, George Washington was the first president of America and General Wolfe was a British Army Officer who led Britain to the victory over the French in Canada. So they were both heroes to plenty people. The paintings are quite similar I must say, they both have a high sense of war which I much clearer on General Wolfe’s side because of the whole war scene, in this there are soldiers everywhere probably still at war you can see that in the aerial perspective, but the war scene is quite different in the other painting, its more of the war is about to happen not in process.
As described by Anatole France in the first chapter of the novel The Gods Will Have Blood, Evariste Gamelin was an artist, a pupil of Jacques Louis David, who was the most famous artist of the period, and was a supporter of Maximilien Robespierre and a member of the Convention. Citizen Evariste Gamelin can also be described as a man of strong convictions, of which he so strongly believed to be for the good for the state and the people. His very own mannerisms illustrated and depicted an aura of purpose and revolutionary spirit, which can be seen in page 27 of the novle, “Evariste Gamelin strode purposefully up the nave: the arches, which for so long had heard the holy officeers of the day chanted by the surplice-clad brothers of the community of St. Paul.” Mesouir Evariste Gamelin is also a man of respectable nature, one who was even recognized as a respectable man in a conversation with the magistrate, “I knew you would come and put your name to it,
Trine 1 Rebekah Trine Professor Rosecliffe English 105 T. Th. 22 October 2011 A Father's Love In numerous ways the poems “My Papa's Waltz” by Theodore Roethke and “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden are very similar. Both are written from a young boy's point of view and elaborate on the relationships these two have with their fathers. They also tell of the way their fathers show their love toward them and describe their interactions, or lack thereof. There are great differences in these poems as the relationships, and interactions are described and further exploration can be done in examining the tone, diction and imagery both poems display.
The narrator is a high school algebra teacher making an attempt to be a model citizen living out the “American Dream” with his wife and their children. The narrator bought into the establishment, is veteran of the US Army, and gives out the perception that his life is in order and he has this act together. On the flipside, the narrator’s brother Sonny is a veteran of the Navy, but being veterans is all they seem to have in common. Sonny has lived his life numbing his the pain that causes him anguishes by wrapping himself in soothing blanket of heroin, using sweet China White to aid his music performances, evading the demons that continually haunted him. By comparison the narrator and Sonny’s initially appear to be very different in their ways.
De Ste Croix believes that the “prosklema” translated by traditional scholars such as Meiggs as simple “aims” actually had an imperialistic connotation, because prosklema was a “professional aim”. This was to cover up the Athenian ambitions of having a large, powerful, active and rich alliance under its control. This would help explain why many of the actions taken by the league were imperialistic. Both Aristotle and Plutarch mention the oath taken by members and Aristotle says that it was Aristides...”who swore the oaths to the Ionians that they should have the same enemies and friends, to confirm which they sank lumps of iron in the sea”. This oath, sworn between the Athenians and allies indicated that the Athens was to be the hegemon (leader) for as long as the League continued, and the League was meant to be permanent.
It is also a natural expression of a culture at a certain point in its time, a culture that is confident of its own tradition, but at the same time adds something that is slipping away. A German art historian by the name of Friedrich Hauser identified the style-category as "Neo-Attic". "Neo-Attic" consists of reliefs molded on decorative vessels and plaques, having figure and drapery style that looked for its "classic" models. David was a winner of the Grand Prix and also became very fortunate to be the court painter of Napoleon. David is very famous for his work of art called Oath of the Horatti.
Defining Romanticism Napoleon Bonaparte once said, “Music, of all the liberal arts, has the greatest influence over the passions” (Machlis et al., 2003). This quotation clearly captures the essence of romanticism. Romanticism is characterized by a personal, subjective approach to the arts. Thus, expressions of intense emotions are often evoked through this style of art. In the following articles, “Beethoven’s Instrumental Music”, written by the music critic and composer, E.T.A.
In the opening paragraph of the story, we learn of the strong friendship three of the five men have made, even though they are involved in a war against each other. “At dusk, the big Englishman Belcher would shift his long legs out of the ashes and ask, ‘Well, chums, what about it?’ and Noble or me would say, ‘As you please, chum’ (for we had picked up some of their curious expressions), and the little Englishmen ‘Awkins would light the lamp and produce the cards.” Bonaparte, the narrator, tells us the four men, himself, Noble, ‘Awkins, and Belcher, spent their time in a small cottage in the countryside playing cards and debating religion and politics. The fifth character, Jeremiah Donavan, keeps his distance and serves as the catalyst in the story to really show the effect of war on their friendship. The plot of the story unfolded as Donavan revealed that the prisoners were actually hostages and that there was a possibility
