Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi was born in Florence, Italy around 1386. He was born to Nicolo di Betto Bardi, a member of the Florentine Woolcombers Guild. His friends and family adopted the shortened moniker, Donatello, when he was only a child. This is what we know him as today. Donatello's first educational environment was at the home of the Martellis, a wealthy Florentine family of bankers and patrons closely linked to the Medici family. In the shop of a goldsmith within the Martellis family, Donatello learned metallurgy, fabrication of metals and various materials, and other skills of the trade. In around 1400, he began apprenticing with the metalsmith and sculptor, Lorenzo Ghiberti.…

I listened to Vivaldi’s Summer from the Four seasons. His music is very detailed and emotional. I think he is influential in Baroque music because he was very good and wrote great works of music.…
The wing that I felt most interested in was the 17th & 18 th Century pieces. Biblical subjects were the usual subject of these pieces and the quality and vividness of the art caught my eye with each new design I saw . A piece that was very interesting was "Martha Rebuking Mary for Her Vanity" done by Guido Cagnacci . The oil painting shows a distraught Mary Magdalene deserting vanity in order to drive out the demon. At the top of the picture is an angel striking out a demon away in order to allow Magdalene to repent for her sins . Another religious piece that I enjoyed was the "The Birth of St . John the Baptist" done by Bartolomé-Esteban Murillo. The image was of a baby John the Baptist being attended to by nurses while angles descend onto the scene . Also shown in the image was Elizabeth resting in a bed.…

In the Baroque period the art would depict a play, that it was not just a picture but every figure would have meaning, the art was meant to be read just not looked at as decoration. Figures would be drawn with realism, they have depth in the art, and they are almost falling off the page. They used dark shades and lights to show realism in their paintings. This was brought on with the further discovery of how our universe was formed, how we are not the center of the universe and also with that discovery, we discovered that Europe is not the middle of the Earth as well. Each painting had a story, told about us, about real people and there was more realism than before. Sculptures were made to be experienced, they were made not as standing men but men in action, they told a story in each sculpture that was made in this period.…

I chose to evaluate two works of art from two different time periods, one from the Baroque era and another from the Neoclassical artworks. The first piece of artwork that I chose is the "Resting Girl". This beautiful work of art was created by Francois Boucher in 1715 and is the perfect example of a late Baroque style painting which features the Rococo style. This painting is located in the Wallraf Museum in Cologne, Germany. This painting consists of oil on canvas and was the very example of applying a light romantic touch. Boucher used light and delicate colors with emphasis on the interiors which were elegant and exuded luxury.…

Beccaria has even argued against the death penalty, and in some cases, has convinced some nations to alter the law of the fatal punishment. With his determination and assistance of his colleagues , he was able to write, and publish, one of the most referred pieces in political history.…
Roughly around the 1600s to 1750s, the Baroque period came to life bringing heightened nature, and more personal and emotional expression to art. It originated in Italy and spread out like a plaque throughout Europe, the Americas, and Spain. Everything from art to literature and even music was more theatrical and was given more emotions. Catholicism was generally being reflected off of the Baroque arts. Dramatic religious paintings were being made…
