Famous paintings of the Renaissance

The Last Supper is the most prominent paintings of Leonardo da Vinci from a collection of his 30 plus pieces of art work. The painting depicts terror on the faces of the twelve men whom Christ had gathered. He had called them to tell them that one among the 12 people was to deceive him before the sun rises. This is a huge painting of 15x29 feet. This painting covers the entire wall of the dinning hall of a convent in Milan. His second famous painting was Mona Lisa.

The Starry Night is another fantastic painting of Vincent Van Gogh. He created this painting when he was in a psychiatric center in France. During his convalesce period after his mental problems he produced this remarkable painting. When he recovered completely he moved to Arles. Here he hoped that he would find an art colony. It is here, at Arles that he painted his other paintings which are a bunch of sunflowers. But unfortunately none of his art work was ever cherished till he was alive. His life was full of insufficiency, misery and dejection and he ended his life when he could not take any more of his worries.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso has some famous paintings to his credit. He is a Spanish artist and was famous during the 20th century. His famous painting is Germany bombing Guernica. This happened during the Spanish civil war. The piece of art work has caught the cruelty, heartlessness and utter despair of war, in his characteristic cubistic style.

Madonnas and large figure paintings of Raffaello Sanzio is very famous. He was a master painter and an arthitect of the Renaissance period. His art had clarity in it and so his work was admired by all. His paintings were a piece of fantastic art work and it was known for its optical accomplishment of the Neoplatonic model of human splendor. Subject of Raphael's other paintings were living things.

The resurgence in the North elucidated around the vivid imagination and reality of Dürer's painting. Many other painters took to landscape painting and portraiture. They had exact realism in the areas of landscape painting.

The renaissance paintings showed reality. The biblical images in the paintings are set in geometrical groups and the settings are generally washings of gold. The paintings appear as if they are pictures taken of the lifelike world. The artists used light and shadow which gave realism to their painting.

The dispute about whether images is art is one that has been flaming in the artwork world for a long time as well as we are not prone to totally solve this here. But it may be an important selection you have to make if you're considering a career inside photography with the aim of producing quality art works. If that is to try and are, the idea that somebody would say InchesThat's not artwork, you just got a pictureInches is pretty disturbing. So it's well worth looking at the query from several different angles before we all pick which side to be able to weigh in about.


Of course, art is a summary thing. Many people would certainly look at any Jackson Pollack "splatter" art and determine most surely that modern art is not art because it "doesn't look like anything." And if you may spend any time inside the modern art world, you will definitely notice something at some time as you go along occupying space in the perfectly respectable artwork museum that, for your requirements, could never be considered art.

So is that just a matter of view? To some extent, yes. But there is a skill world and an industry behind it in which depend on there being some specifications upon which artwork is judged. One standard is the intention of the artist. If you produce a photograph or an art work derived from an image that is intended to be seen as art, then the viewers is obligated to attempt to see the creative merit in it. Whether the viewer sees which merit or not may depend on the particular viewer's abilities, just how good you are at getting your creative message across or perhaps many other elements.

But just seeking something to be fine art doesn't make it fine art does it? Like a layman in the artwork world, I sometimes go with the actual "I don't know fine art but I know things i like" system of evaluating items I see. Fine art, after all, tends to touch us within another place that's above and beyond the look. It is an emotional place, a place regarding reflection and comprehending. Maybe we would point out it touches our "soulInch.

For a work to be art, there should be a message, a feeling, reasons the artist created the work due to the fact he or she wanted to say something, even when how I interpret the statement is different than what the actual artist meant.

In order that might also be an evaluation of a photograph as to the artistic merit or otherwise not. Now the primary objection to whether images is art at times is that a photograph is often a reasonable depiction of a instant taken with a device and some might say that Inchanybody can have a picture." The particular implication is that the identical mechanical skill it might take to paint a photo of sculpt the statue is not necessary for photographic art.

It's true that the mechanical ability that the man at Wal:Mart might have to do baby pictures will be the same as a fantastic photographic artist could need. But the objection doesn't hold up since the same human terminology is used to produce great poetry as it takes yell away obscenities at a hockey game. So it just isn't the skill that makes it art.

Good evidence comes from the loan some great art experts have given to photographic exhibitions in the fine museums on earth. The very fact which photography is considered art by those who know may be proof enough. So the bottom line must be in which because the quarrels against the imaginative value of photos are weak and the ones who know consider photography to be art, then we are safe in viewing what we do artistically also. And that reveals that side of one's soul to express your self through the method you love probably the most - photography.

Belt Fashion

Nothing says you “get it” like wearing a basic belt in the “right” way. 2011 is all about the slim belt with a slightly worn feel. The fashion way to wear it is to do the buckle up then pull the end down straight rather than threading it through the loops. The Burberry, ­Margaret Howell and Stella McCartney catwalks all agreed that this was the way to wear a classic belt. And so it is.

A few seasons ago fashion finally overcame its collective pashmina phobia and embraced decorative scarves again.

But a printed cotton version should now be a key component of your spring ­wardrobe, even if you haven’t slept with a famous person.

Chapter review and future predictions

HOLY CRAP HODI CHANGED!!

I didn't even know that Hodi could change so drastically. However I doubt that Hodi has long to live, assuming that the drug's side effects acted more as a aging accelerant, what we are looking at would likely be just a much older version of Hodi (that's makes most sense right now). As for his power, well we'll just say that the pills did they're job, however since it isn't Hodi's own power who's to say that the effects of the drugs boosting Hodi's power won't decrease over time anyway (just a thought) thus Hodi would need to take more pills just to keep up his power, however that would only speed up the side effects to a much more drastic level. Now if Oda wanted to make Hodi some sort of super villan that Luffy is going to have to face in order to help us know the level of Luffy's power that would be great, I mean we haven't gotten a good comparison to help us understand how strong Luffy has gotten over the two year skip, we know he's more than capable of taking on a pacifista alone easily, which before it would take him and his entire crew and their best struggling effort in order to just defeat one of the Pacifistas.

Well, also what would people think of future predictions? I've asked a couple of friends and relatives who read this manga and gave me their opinions.

1. Jimbei joins the Strawhats after the defeat of Hodi, or the fight between Hodi and Luffy destroyes the island forcing Jimbei to travel with Luffy.

Now while this is a possibility, if Fishman Island does become destroyed due to the intense fighting, it would stand to reason that Jimbei would have to stay with the Fishmen and mermaids more to keep them safe. So the possibility of this is more or less debatable.

2. Luffy's fight with Hodi doesn't destroy the island, and is forced to fight the swamp guy which is what really causes damage to the island

Not my prediction its a friend's prediction.

3. Luffy defeats Hodi but is forced to leave the island because of the damage, and ends up taking the swamp guy with him, with or without the mermaids he captured to sell.

Again not my prediction, not to mention extremely unlikely.

4. Luffy defeats Hodi, but the damage done to fishmen island is so extreme that the whole Island has to be abandoned, Luffy is forced to take as many survivors as he can with them, while the swamp guy forced under Luffy's influence releases the mermaids he caught to "relieve" some grief.

Not likely but it's a prediction

Well that's the best I have for now, I haven't been able to come up with any exciting immediate predictions. All I have right now is this.

- Luffy and Jimbei set aside differences to take down Hodi together, however Luffy agrees to let Jimbei be the one to fight Hodi first under the impression that Jimbei is still much more than capable of taking on Hodi no problem.

- Luffy goes to save his comrades who are waiting rather unconcerned for their situation. Jimbei in the mean time goes to back up the three royal sons, or rescue them because they were over powered by Hodi.

- Luffy struggles a bit to get his comrades out but does it with little to no problem due to lack of good opponents to fight. They head back towards the plaza to watch Jimbei repair the damage that Hodi made. However when they get there, Jimbei is either defeated or badly wounded with Hodi unscathed, or slightly out of breath with a couple of scratches.

- Luffy is forced to fight Hodi to save Jimbei, and protect the Mermaids, and mermen from Hodi's slaughter, while Hodi is on the effects of the drugs he and Luffy are evenly matched however when the effects of the drugs wear off, Hodi "Crashes" persay as he hits a withdrawal phase of addiction to the drugs.

- Hodi finally defeated Luffy then turns his attention to the Swamp guy who threatens to take Luffy's head while he is weakened, however Luffy easily defeats Caribou (the swamp guy if anyone forgot), and forces him to free the mermaids (let's face it they have to be freed sooner or later). However Luffy is forced to use a significant amount of Haki to end the fight quickly which knocks a number of the Fishman Island residents become unconcious which ironically happens to be what the fortune teller glimpsed at in the future. Not Luffy destroying the island, but Luffy just knocking A LOT of merfolk out (and was just overdramatized by the fortune tellers paranoid imagination).

Alright that's my predictions people, enjoy and remember all comments are welcome and I will try to commit to getting the comments filtered through faster when the system seems to have a problem with the comments (for some unexplainable reason).
