However, creating petty decorative metalwork did not satisfy the boy. He traveled to Florence, and in 1797 he struggled through the battlegrounds of the French Revolution to get to Paris (Censer and Hunt, 1). His struggle was not in vain, for he managed to enter the most famous atelier of his day (Menaker, 75, 77). The studio of Jacques-Louis David fostered Bertolini’s talent, bathing him in the neoclassism he would soon enough become famous for perfecting (Menaker, 77). It was also at the studio where he became engrossed with John Flaxman’s Homeric illustrations.
His name the Doryphoros means spear-bearer and refers to a statue of a spear-bearer of the Ancient Greek army. I guess you can use the word prototype when it comes to this piece, everything after this piece is just derivative of it. Polykleitos is the first among artists to sculpt or depict an ideal man, a man so real looking you would categorize and truly mimetic. Polykleitos is among the most famous of artists in the Ancient Greece Era most of the Ancient Greek work has been lost expect those that survived through Rome’s later copies. The Doryphoros broke the mold for the art world allowing all artists to experiment on their own to try to create their own form of one of the best known sculptures of the ancient classical era in Western Art and an early example of Greek classical contrapposto.
The tomb was built simply but very elegantly. Cyruses temple still stands today which proves Herodotus’s first argument to be false. Herodotus’s second argument falsely poses the idea that the Persians were not elaborate engineers. Evidence from the movie argues that the persians had some of the most ingenious engineers that history had ever seen at that time. The persians had many innovations in engineering.
He was truly a genius with all the machines he built that were way before his time. I never would of thought that architects would have as many rivals as he did but when your as good as he was a lot of people would be jealous. One thing that amazed me was how long all the models and pieces of the dome took to build. Also since they didn’t have planes of course to ship the materials they needed it took forever and shipping materials overseas was dangerous back then too for example when they had to get the marble shipped over. I couldn’t imagine devoting most of my life to building a dome.
Gianlorenzo Bernini was an Italian artist born December 7,1598 in Naples he is considered the greatest sculptor and architect of the 17th century.Bernini created the Baroque style of sculpture and in my opinion definitely mastered this style above any one who may have even attempted before or after his era. Bernini's career began under his father, Pietro Bernini, a Florentine sculptor with some talent nothing in comaparison to Gianlorenzo who moved to Rome.Bernini, “a young prodigy“, soon established himself as a independent sculptor. He was strongly influenced by his studies of antique greek and roman marbles in the Vatican, and he waa also very knowledgable of High Renaissance paintings of the early 16th century. The early works of Gianlorenzo caught the attention of Annibale Carracci, Pope Paul V, Scipione Cardinal Borghese, a member of the reigning papal family, and Pope Urban VIII who turned out to be his greatest patron. While Bernini was under Scipione Cardinal Borghese patronage he carved what is known as his first important life-size sculptural which was in groups like a series that showcased his work in levels of progression.
Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo Buonarroti to paint the chapel’s ceiling. Michelangelo was timid at first about painting the chapel. He claimed that he didn’t have the ability to paint figures very well and sculpting was his stronger suit. However, he agreed to paint the ceiling and it is now one of his most world-renowned pieces of work. Michelangelo began working on the painting in 1508 and finished in 1512.
Jobs had a plan; "Steve Jobs set a goal for the company to sell high-end computer graphics workstations" (Moisecot 1). Jobs followed through on that goal and as we all know created a computer to create multi-million dollar films like Toy Story & Monsters Inc.. This again shows that Steve Jobs had to overcome great odds to create Pixar; in order for Pixar to work, Jobs would need to make computers with technology that was several years away, but he made it happen. Jobs also overcame a great obstacle after he returned
And once his career started he travelled around for ideas, At the age of 38 he married his cousin Marry French and had a baby girl name Margaret French Cresson a year later, it wasn’t long before Margaret followed in her father’s footsteps and became a sculpture too. She sculptured only marble busts and portrait heads. Daniel had created a lot of statues using a variety of materials; clay, plasters, marble and bronze. When Daniel finished his creations they would always be significant, to him, America or the world. Alma Mater is a bronze sculpture.
The myth says that after his painting known as the Night Watch was rejected, he became depressed and died in poverty. However, no one really knows the background behind the painting nor why it was rejected. In the ‘Night watch’, Rembrandt Harmenszoon Van Rijn paints what appears to be a night watch, but historians say it was neither painted at night nor a watch. Rembrandt’s parents were well to do and supported him by sending him to a painter to learn the basics of art work. The ‘Night watch’ was a commissioned work showing civic guards.
The company picked a young ambitions man named Jack Smith the head the team designing the new engine block. Smith being the project manager made many success decisions, however his lack of experience brought about many bad outcomes. The venture started off rocky with BMW and Chrysler’s engineers not seeing eye to eye on designs for the 1.4l-1.6L engines. The joint teamwork almost failed before it even started by the arguments between the two companies. IT was only due to the BMW Dr. Reitzle who overturned his engineers objections and decided to go with Chrysler’s ideas.
