The Last Judgment is‚ in my belief‚ the most superior piece of Renaissance art. Michelangelo focused on the individual aspect of the spiritual world. The painting basically symbolizes the painter’s view on Christianity and how he perceives life after death.

Many sources believe that

can be one of the hardest and most emotional tests of character one can be faced with. When you’re forced to deal with the passing of a loved one‚ your left with your grief‚ sorrow and the loneliness left behind.

Although they are famous works by two different famous poets‚ "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning and "Ulysses" by Alfred Lord Tennyson share many similarities. Both poems are examples of dramatic monologues‚ in that they consist entirely of the speech of the main character. As a result they both have very few stanzas. "My Last Duchess" is set in Italy during the Renaissance period. In this poem the Duke is talking to his prospective father-in-law’s servant about a painting of his former wife. Ulysses
