Rachel Bingham Art History and Appreciation II – ARTG106 Heather Walker April 9, 2014 Formal Analysis of St. Francis in Prayer and A Geographer On April 3, 2014, a friend and I went to visit the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. The first painting that caught my eye was St. Francis in Prayer by Francisco de Zurbaran. It is an approximately 5’ by 4’oil painting on canvas dating back to 1638 – 1639 during the Counter-Reformation (Norton Simon). The second piece of art was a painting by the School of Caravaggio titled A Geographer. The work is an approximate 5’ by 4’ oil painting on canvas created in the 17th century during the Baroque art movement (Norton Simon).
This oil painting is called Salome with the Head of St John the Baptist painted by an Italian artist, Luini Bernardino. He started the creation of the painting in 1510 and it ended the year he died, 1532. In Salome with the Head of St John the Baptist, the figures emerge from a dark background and fill the foreground. The bright light is shining on both Salome and the decapitated head of St John the Baptist which calls attention on both of them. It also intensifies the tragic death of St John the Baptist and increases the dramatic impact of the painting.
Among the areas he worked in include his theory of the production of the human voice, the theory of sound and music, the mechanics of vision, and his work on telescopic and microscopic perception. On the basis of this last work, not published until 1779, the construction of telescopes and microscopes was made possible. In his study of colour effects, Euler hoped to make use of the observation of the conjunction of Venus and the moon, due to take place on the 8th of September 1729. However, no such effects were observed during this conjunction, and Euler was forced to wait for the eclipse of the sun which would take place in 1748. He observed this eclipse in Berlin, where he moved in 1741.
Their discovery prompted astronomers around the world to look in places where planets were not found to exist and allowed us to further examine how a planet can exist at such extreme temperatures. The methods and thought processes by Mayor and Queloz are essential in
I did the scientific experiment where I look through the paper towel cylinder and gathered the size of the moon. The moon’s circumference came out to be the same again at 6.83 centimeters. I repeated the same step of measuring the moon with my ruler which provided its circumference. There was a small difference but, this was suspected due to the reality of human error. The circumference came out to be 7.66 which was too extremely off of my previous findings.
Because he put his sons above God. They did not know God, therefore, they robbed the people’s sacrifices and slept with the women who served in the tabernacle. 2. What was significant about the birth and childhood of Samuel? His mother could not bear children until she prayed to God begging for a son and promised to make him a Nazirite (dedicated his life to God).
This was not the case, in various videos and pictures from the landing, shadows are clearly seen in many different directions. 3. Van Allen radiation belt. En route to the moon the astronauts would have to travel through the Van Allen radiation belt. Theorists claim that the extremely high levels of radiation would have cooked the astronauts if they had gone through it.
Supposedly we are going to have a huge blackout that wipes out all earth, and we would live in complete darkness; this would be caused by the sun, and it’s light. The polar shift theory is when people believe that the world will switch around and the north and south poles will switch. This would cause melting of the icecaps and create a huge tsunami. Unexpected super volcanoes are supposed to go off around the world and wipe out countries. None of these ideas are going to happen because these are outrageous possibilities that aren’t even close to happen or threaten
Upon seeing the church, Bessian is overrun by a fit of joy; he begins pointing out every cultural symbol he lays eyes on. But, at the sight of a marker of death, Diana cries out “How terrible!” (68). These two pages exemplify the opposing ideas of the couple, and for the first time in their relationship, Diana is exposed to a different side of her husband's personality, baffled at having never seen it before. In chapter six, Bessian
Cladius used the term epicycle to help describe retrograde motion. His model was called epicycle on deferent. In his explanation, the earth is stationary and the planets, moon, and sun rotate and orbit around it. So the line of sight makes it seems as though the planet has stopped and reversed. An astronomer names Nicolaus Copernicus the proved Cladius’ theory incorrect.
