.... endeavor that his like has rarely been in human history. Casual patrons of the arts know him as the painter of the “Mona Lisa” and the great “Last Supper”, painted on the wall of the dining hall in the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. These paintings alone would have assured him enduring fame as an artist, but they should not obscure the fact that he was also a sculptor, an architect, and the man of science.

His extensive studies of human anatomy were portrayed in drawing, which were among the most significant draw ....

593 Words - 3 Pages

.... a preoccupation with race and race relations. For example, the Civil War was fought due to the relationships between blacks and whites. The Civil War caused the deaths of almost as many Americans as those who died in all other wars combined. "Black-white relations was the principal focus of Reconstruction after the Civil War; America's failure to allow African Americans equal rights led eventually to the struggle for civil rights a century later."(Loewen, 132) Had the Federal government properly written the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, the earlier battle for civil rights would not have taken over one hundred years. African Ameerricans would have been equal and hist ....

.... Prize in music. In Notturno there are three large parts, which could be described as movements that maintain the music’s continuity. Within these three movements, there are nineteen smaller parts. The first and last movements have nine parts that make up the contrasting sounds in the music. The final movement concentrates more on the pitch transformation. Structurally, this format would be a recapitulation, but the use of pitch transforms it into something new.

.... used to portray the condition of the lower class of Paris was the breaking of the wine cask. He cleverly illustrated the poverty and hunger among the people of St. Antoine, as they scavenged for a taste of the precious red liquid before it trickled away. The stain of the spilled wine left an ever-present reminder that the waste of the elite was life's blood to the peasants.
