Biografía de Pierre Lescot

Introducción.

El Renacimiento (que simboliza la reactivación del conocimiento y el progreso luego de una época de oscurantismo) es el movimiento artístico, humanístico y científico marcado por el regreso a los elementos de la cultura clásica.

Este movimiento surgió en Florencia, Italia aproximadamente en el siglo XIV después del período de la Edad Media y se propagó al resto de Europa Occidental en los siglos XV y XVI, principalmente Francia, España, Alemania y Países bajos.

Uno de los principales exponentes del Renacimiento en Francia fue el arquitecto Pierre Lescot. Él fue el gran maestro de la arquitectura renacentista francesa, siendo su obra maestra, el hoy en día muy reconocido, Palacio de Louvre (París, Francia).

BIOGRAFÍA

Pierre Lescot nació en París, Francia alrededor de 1510 y murió allí mismo en 1578. Estudió arquitectura, matemáticas y pintura, conocimientos que impresionaban a las personas.

Formaba parte de una familia señorial bien posicionada en Francia, familia de magistrados. Su padre, de quien lleva el mismo nombre, era el jefe de comercio de París.

Fue uno de los arquitectos exponentes del Renacimiento francés, uno de los más grandes de su tiempo. Se le considera "el maestro de la arquitectura del Renacimiento francés".

Lescot emergió como un talentoso aficionado cuya influencia estética en la corte tanto en el reinado de Francisco I como en el de Enrique II se realzó de gran manera a través de su implementación de nuevos conceptos clásicos en conjunto con su amigo escultor Jean Goujon.

Su trabajo se distingue por el uso correcto de detalles clásicos. Además, Lescot creó una interpretación más decorativa de la antigüedad, distinguiéndose así como uno de los fundadores del Clasicismo de tradición francesa.

Entre sus principales obras se encuentran el diseño original del Hotel Carnavalet de París (también conocido como Hotel Ligneris), St Germain l'Auxerrois, Fontaine des Innocents (Fuente de los Inocentes) y

    Alejandro de la Fuente is writing an argument on slavery with different point of view, narrating a debate based on the Law in Latin America. The different prespectives are from Tannenbaum who is well known as a big influence during slavery, Christopher Schmidt-Nowara and Maria Elena Diaz.

Slave opportunites such as slave codes, immigration and education, were part of this debate.

    Throughout the book Curanderismo: Mexican American Folk Healing Trorrer and Chavira make mention of el Niño Fidencio in countless areas of the book. It is mentioned that one of the most important spiritualist movement is based on “the life teaching, and the spirit of a famous young folk healer (now dead) from northern Mexico el Niño Fidencio” (1997:35). Even today el Niño is an important figure in many aspects of the belief system and practice associated with the Curanderismo folk healing. History plays a major role in culture when it comes to establishing religion and medical practices, which in the case of the Mexican Curanderos many times martyrs or perhaps people with supernatural or mythical abilities lay the foundation for the belief system and its practice. Consequently, this allows such people (those with supernatural abilities) to become saints thus becoming an important part of the Catholic faith, which has become syncratic with the traditional folk healing system. What is interesting about el Niño and his legacy, is that he not only serves as an influential figure in the history of Curanderismo but also plays a large role in the spiritual practices and the contemporary culture associated with the Mexican folk healing practices. In a modern society where immigration has promoted syncretism and a separation between those who still live in or near Mexico and those who have moved to other regions causing them to lose many of their traditional beliefs and practices el Niño serves as an icon from the folk saint movement that helps draw a culture and the people back together.…

    On Thursday, March 17th at 7:30 pm in Williams Hall, I attended the lecture Descent into the Spanish Labyrinth: Politics in Contemporary Spain, which Dustin Shannon presented. After studying abroad at the Complutense University of Madrid, Dr. Shannon slowly gained an appreciation and became accustomed to the daily lifestyle in Spain. As a result, he has lived and taught in Spain for about the last 17 years. During the two decades, Dr. Shannon was able to acquire more knowledge on Spain, which allows him to educate others about Spain’s history and culture. Before the lecture started, Dustin’s brother, Deric Shannon, gave a short introduction and brief summary about what was going to be discussed. Throughout the rest of the event, Dustin Shannon…
