Diego Marquez Las Meninas
“Las Meninas,” by the artist Diego Velazquez hangs in the Museo Nacional Del Prado in Madrid. The very large oil painting was painted to hang in the study of the King of Spain in 1656. At first glance, the most prominent piece of the painting is the princess and her ladies-in-waiting; however, when taking a deeper look there are many more elements inside. Included is a mirror with a reflection of the King and Queen of Spain. This reflection arose many questions such as: are the king and queen in the painting with Diego is painting? Or is it the reflection of them standing in front of the painting? There is still no concrete answer, but many believe it is them standing in front of the painting hence why the attention of everyone in the photo

    Analysis of the Annunciation by Master of the Retable of the Reyes Catolicos

    The centerpiece of the piece is obviously Mary, though she is on the right side of the painting. In one hand she holds an open bible, and she holds her other hand up in prayer while she is looking down with her eyes almost completely shut. She has a halo surrounding her head as gold rays shine down on her from god, carrying Jesus to her. There is also a dove surrounded by gold above her head. This was a very common Christian symbol used to represent the Holy Spirit.…

    It is located in one of the outer walls of the Auditorium of the Faculty of Sciences at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Jose recreates the serpent Quetzalcoatl as a boat that represents peoples of the oldest civilizations with a flaming background. At the left end of the mural is a pyramid stabbed by a sword and spear, this image is meant to remind us of the conquest of America. On the serpent boat, from left to right, is figure a representing Egyptian culture; next to it is a Franciscan friar, who represents Christianity; behind the friar is a winged figure, most likely an angel. in the In the middle of the boat, we have the main character, who is a red man clearly representing the indigenous people of Mexico, who runs the course of the boat wearing a mask of Ehecatl, god of wind, with a speech scroll coming from his mouth. To the right of the red figure, is the Mesopotamian/Persian figure, followed by a Greek, and to the right of him an Asian man and then a Middle Eastern man, representing Buddhism and Islam. Jose takes us to the idea of the return of Quetzalcoatl, i.e. pre-Hispanic culture, augmented by the contributions of other ancient cultures. I believe this mosaic represents the same journey that these cultures have all experienced, and that is the survival of their history and their culture. This mural looks to the past, but it also looks to the future in that they are all moving in the same…

    Bernal Diaz Del Castillo

    As a conquistador under the command of Hernán Cortes, Bernal Diaz witnessed some of Latin America’s most interesting and least chronicled history. He was fortunate enough to be one of a select few Europeans to experience the Aztec empire at its height and to visit Tenochtitlan prior to its downfall. In an era where personal accounts of the historical occurrences are almost nonexistent, Bernal Diaz’s The True History of the Conquest of New Spain provides virtually the only window into this period. As a result, his text has become the most significant historical document concerning the Spanish conquest of Mexico. Perhaps the most poignant excerpt from The True History of the Conquest of New Spain is Diaz’s detailed description of his first impressions of the Aztec capital and emperor Montezuma.…

    Coastal Management and the Perceptions of Different Groups of People About This Issue.

    Coastal management is managing development along the coast in a sustainable way so that it will not be spoiled for future generations and it is a very important to Australians because over 85% of our current population live within 50km of the coast. Furthermore, more than 25% of Australia’s current population lives within three kilometres of the coast. All the human traffic our coastline receives damages the delicate ecosystems that are trying to co-inhabit the area. Foreshore developments such as – high rise buildings, shops, walkways, roads and carparks damage the aforementioned ecosystems which interfere with the natural processes that occur on the coastline. The general public consensus is that the foreshore developments spoil the natural beauty of the coastline and makes it aesthetically displeasing where as others believe that the developments will help people enjoy the various activities the coastline waters and sands offer.…

    It is within human nature to feel as though one can label a person as good or bad without fully knowing that person. Serial killers are a type of species presumed to be inherently evil and more flawed then the devil himself. This definition of serial killers is widely accepted among different nations because as a whole the people of the world genuinely agree on what is coherently good as well as what is coherently evil. Thanks to universal coverage and bias opinion which is divulged by the media most people have difficulties seeing serial killers in any other light besides the root of all evil. Something not quite understood by people is the lack of morality which is evident in all, not just serial killers. Sadly enough in today's society forgiveness is not something easy to gain and in order for it to be sincere the past must be forgotten, something even more difficult to achieve than equality. Considering that most, if not all, serial killers follow through with their actions based on some form of chemical inequality within their brain; it seems to make no sense as to why the human population would judge them any more than they would judge a person with autism. Modern day views on serial killers have been produced from the world's lack of knowledge within the psychology field from the start. Before people were given the correct information as to why serial killers killed people it was assumed that they were simply horrid people who must be killed. Now more is known about the psychological issues serial killers experience which causes them to pursue certain actions allowing for their reasoning to be somewhat understood by all. Serial killer Pedro López, although, had a different and more disturbed childhood than most serial killers which is thought to have lead to his type of crime. Like most "normal" people Pedro López was unable to forget the past of revise it in any way. The trauma Pedro López faced as a child caused psychological issues upon him, beginning…
