The Marriage of the Virgin‚ a painting by Raphael‚ shows the fundamental aspects of a Renaissance artwork. This particular piece enthralled me from the moment I saw it. Raphael added finer details to The Marriage of the Virgin that‚ at first glance‚ I had not noticed but‚ upon further examination‚ could be spotted. For instance‚ the priest’s robes are sketched with elegant patterns‚ and the draping of Joseph’s clothes adds a sort of three-dimensional effect. Moreover‚ Raphael added faint halos over

Leonardo da Vinci‚ Virgin and Child with St. Anne‚ 1510‚ oil on panel This piece‚ painted in about 1510‚ was rumoured to have been commissioned by Louis XII to celebrate his daughter’s birth in 1499 but by the time da Vinci had finished the piece and was satisfied with it‚ it was too late.

Virgin and Child Scuplture After several visits to the information desk and walking through about two dozen different galleries‚ I finally found the sculpture of Virgin and Child.

The sculpture is French Gothic and is made from marble. She was sculpted somewhere between the years 1325 and 1350. It is also noted

"Bloody Mary and the "Virgin Queen" Mary and Elizabeth Tudor were both‚ by all accounts‚ strong and intelligent women endowed with many of the qualities that mark a successful ruler. However‚ only Elizabeth’s legacy is a positive one; her reign has been called the "Golden Age" of England‚ and she remains a heroine in popular history and even modern film. Mary’s reign is scowled at‚ and seen by most as a brief unpleasant period preceding the glorious ascension of Elizabeth. To account for this

The Virgin Suicides and the Writing Self Usually our voice for telling a story is our own writing self. A person that understands the situation at hand and speaks in a manner relevant to the situation. We don ’t normally create a separate narrator to make our writing more interesting.
