... of Christ; which thing excites no less marvel
than the sight, in contrast to it, of obstinacy,
hatred, and treachery in Judas; not to mention
that every least part of the work displays an
incredible diligence, seeing that even in the
tablecloth the texture of the stuff is
counterfeited in such a manner that linen itself
could not seem more real. It is said that the
Prior of that place kept pressing Leonardo, in a
most importunate manner, to finish the work; for

Spanish Civil War Success And Failure

Picasso's Guernica is unique and unlike any other
photograph or painting of a historical war scene.
Historical photographs show scenes and capture
moments in time, but when viewing them an
intangible "wall" exists between the viewer and
the photograph. The difference between photographs
and original paintings is that the painting allows
the viewer to break through the "wall" and
actually experience the feelings and emotions
expressed in the painting. "We only see what we
look at and to look is a...

"Father Of Impressionism" Claude Monet was born in
Paris on the 14 th November, 1840. When he was
five years old, he moved to the port town of Le

a success of his life. Enforcing this impression,
Monet showed no interest in inheriting his
father's wholesale grocery. The only subject which
seemed to spark any interest in the child was
painting. He develo...

one story high, grouped around a central
courtyard. It was brightly painted, both inside
