query: Leonardo da Vinci epitomized the Impressionist humanist ideal.

pos: Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci ( -LSB- leoˈnardo di ˌsɛr ˈpjɛːro da ( v ) ˈvintʃi -RSB- ; 15 April 14522 May 1519 ) , more commonly Leonardo da Vinci or simply Leonardo , was an Italian polymath whose areas of interest included invention , painting , sculpting , architecture , science , music , mathematics , engineering , literature , anatomy , geology , astronomy , botany , writing , history , and cartography . He has been variously called the father of palaeontology , ichnology , and architecture , and is widely considered one of the greatest painters of all time . Sometimes credited with the inventions of the parachute , helicopter and tank , he epitomised the Renaissance humanist ideal .   Many historians and scholars regard Leonardo as the prime exemplar of the `` Universal Genius '' or `` Renaissance Man '' , an individual of `` unquenchable curiosity '' and `` feverishly inventive imagination '' . According to art historian Helen Gardner , the scope and depth of his interests were without precedent in recorded history , and `` his mind and personality seem to us superhuman , while the man himself mysterious and remote '' . Marco Rosci notes that while there is much speculation regarding his life and personality , his view of the world was logical rather than mysterious , and that the empirical methods he employed were unorthodox for his time .   Born out of wedlock to a notary , Piero da Vinci , and a peasant woman , Caterina , in Vinci in the region of Florence , Leonardo was educated in the studio of the renowned Florentine painter Andrea del Verrocchio . Much of his earlier working life was spent in the service of Ludovico il Moro in Milan . He later worked in Rome , Bologna and Venice , and he spent his last years in France at the home awarded to him by Francis I of France .   Leonardo was , and is , renowned primarily as a painter . Among his works , the Mona Lisa is the most famous and most parodied portrait and The Last Supper the most reproduced religious painting of all time . Leonardo 's drawing of the Vitruvian Man is also regarded as a cultural icon , being reproduced on items as varied as the euro coin , textbooks , and T-shirts . Perhaps fifteen of his paintings have survived.There are 15 significant artworks which are ascribed , either in whole or in large part , to Leonardo by most art historians . This number is made up principally of paintings on panel but includes a mural , a large drawing on paper and two works which are in the early stages of preparation . There are a number of other works that have also been variously attributed to Leonardo . Nevertheless , these few works , together with his notebooks , which contain drawings , scientific diagrams , and his thoughts on the nature of painting , compose a contribution to later generations of artists rivalled only by that of his contemporary , Michelangelo .   Leonardo is revered for his technological ingenuity . He conceptualised flying machines , a type of armoured fighting vehicle , concentrated solar power , an adding machine , and the double hull . Relatively few of his designs were constructed or even feasible during his lifetime , as the modern scientific approaches to metallurgy and engineering were only in their infancy during the Renaissance . Some of his smaller inventions , however , such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire , entered the world of manufacturing unheralded . A number of Leonardo 's most practical inventions are nowadays displayed as working models at the Museum of Vinci . He made substantial discoveries in anatomy , civil engineering , geology , optics , and hydrodynamics , but he did not publish his findings and they had no direct influence on later science .   Today , Leonardo is widely considered one of the most diversely talented individuals ever to have lived .

neg: Portrait of Louis Guillaume Portrait of Louis Guillaume is an oil on canvas portrait by Paul Cézanne painted c. 1882 . Guillaume was the son of friends of the artist and a friend of Cézanne 's son , Paul . Here he is portrayed in a highly sculpted manner with a near-expressionless , uncommunicative face , and an immobile , lifeless body . In form and complexity , the painting is ahead of its time . It contains many abstractions , mostly in its presentation of the head and body as simple , solid shapes , a technique later taken up and developed by Henri Matisse .   The work 's low-key colours , mostly greys , whites and dark greens , achieve a sombre tone , echoed by the shy reserve on the boy 's face . While his skin is rendered with pearly white paint , giving the surface a lively sheen or glow , this contrasts with his black , severely cropped hair and dark clothes , while his eyes are only black hollows . Heavy-lidded , they are , according to art critic Meyer Schapiro , `` without spiritual light ... they belong to a world of shadow . ''   One critic famously wrote that Cézanne painted the heads of friends as if they were apples , and that sense of cool detachment is evident in this work . Its formal qualities are reminiscent of a still-life or landscape , however while at first look there is evidence of the artist 's awareness of the `` abyss between human beings '' , there are signs of hope and connection in the delicately rendered tones of the cheeks , the ornament of the wall , the folds of the dress , and the cravat which echoes the verticals of the folds of the face and wall .   The painting was purchased by Ambroise Vollard by 1906 . It was sold to a Florentine collector c 1907 before it was sold in 1927 to Chester Dale in New York . In 1963 Dale donated the work to the National Gallery of Art in Washington , D.C. where it is on permanent display .

neg: L.H.O.O.Q. L.H.O.O.Q. ( -LSB- ɛl aʃ o o ky -RSB- ) is a work of art by Marcel Duchamp . First conceived in 1919 , the work is one of what Duchamp referred to as readymades , or more specifically a rectified ready-made . The readymade involves taking mundane , often utilitarian objects not generally considered to be art and transforming them , by adding to them , changing them , or ( as in the case of his most famous work Fountain ) simply renaming them and placing them in a gallery setting . In L.H.O.O.Q. the objet trouvé ( `` found object '' ) is a cheap postcard reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci 's Mona Lisa onto which Duchamp drew a moustache and beard in pencil and appended the title .

neg: Life imitating art Anti-mimesis is a philosophical position that holds the direct opposite of Aristotelian mimesis . Its most notable proponent is Oscar Wilde , who opined in his 1889 essay The Decay of Lying that , `` Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life '' . In the essay , written as a Platonic dialogue , Wilde holds that anti-mimesis `` results not merely from Life 's imitative instinct , but from the fact that the self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression , and that Art offers it certain beautiful forms through which it may realise that energy . '' .   What is found in life and nature is not what is really there , but is that which artists have taught people to find there , through art . As in an example posited by Wilde , although there has been fog in London for centuries , one notices the beauty and wonder of the fog because `` poets and painters have taught the loveliness of such effects ... They did not exist till Art had invented them . '' .   McGrath places the antimimetic philosophy in a tradition of Irish writing , including Wilde and writers such as Synge and Joyce in a group that `` elevate blarney ( in the form of linguistic idealism ) to aesthetic and philosophical distinction '' , noting that Terry Eagleton observes an even longer tradition that stretches `` as far back in Irish thought as the ninth-century theology of John Scottus Eriugena '' and `` the fantastic hyperbole of the ancient sagas '' . Wilde 's antimimetic idealism , specifically , McGrath describes to be part of the late nineteenth century debate between Romanticism and Realism . Wilde 's antimimetic philosophy has also had influence on later Irish writers , including Brian Friel .   Halliwell asserts that the idea that life imitates art derives from classical notions that can be traced as far back as the writings of Aristophanes of Byzantium , and does not negate mimesis but rather `` displace -LSB- s -RSB- its purpose onto the artlike fashioning of life itself '' . Halliwell draws a parallel between Wilde 's philosophy and Aristophanes ' famous question about the comedies written by Menander : `` O Menander and Life ! Which of you took the other as your model ? '' , noting , however , that Aristophanes was a precursor to Wilde , and not necessarily espousing the positions that Wilde was later to propound .   In George Bernard Shaw 's preface to Three Plays he wrote , `` I have noticed that when a certain type of feature appears in painting and is admired as beautiful , it presently becomes common in nature ; so that the Beatrices and Francescas in the picture galleries of one generation come to life as the parlor-maids and waitresses of the next . '' He stated that he created the aristocratic characters in Cashel Byron 's Profession as unrealistically priggish even without his later understanding that `` the real world does not exist ... men and women are made by their own fancies in the image of the imaginary creatures in my youthful fictions , only much stupider . '' Shaw , however , disagreed with Wilde on some points . He considered most attempts by life to imitate art to be reprehensible , in part because the art that people generally chose to imitate was idealistic and romanticized .   An example of life imitating art is that of singer/actress Miley Cyrus , whose role as the famous fictional popstar Hannah Montana in the Disney Channel sitcom of the same name gave rise to her own singing career . Hannah 's fictional popularity translated into a real-life fan-base for Cyrus as several singles credited to the character charted on the Billboard Hot 100 ( including `` The Best of Both Worlds '' , `` Life 's What You Make It '' , `` He Could Be the One '' , etc , though all of the songs were performed by Cyrus ) and when she embarked on her sold-out Best of Both Worlds Tour in 2007 , where she performed the first set of songs as Hannah Montana and the second set as herself . Cyrus ' song `` The Climb '' was the first song , credited to herself instead of the character , from an official Hannah Montana soundtrack album to become a hit single ( peaking at # 4 on the Billboard charts , making it her `` crossover song '' into mainstream pop , while Hoedown Throwdown ( off the same soundtrack album ) was her first Top 10 . Cyrus also performed several duets on the show while in-character as Hannah with real-life singers such as Sheryl Crow , David Archuleta , The Jonas Brothers , Iyaz and her real-life father Billy Ray Cyrus , as well as an unofficial duet with her real-life godmother country singer Dolly Parton .

neg: Giotto Giotto di Bondone ( 1266/7 -- January 8 , 1337 ) , known mononymously as Giotto ( -LSB- ˈdʒɔtto -RSB- ) and Latinized as Giottus , was an Italian painter and architect from Florence in the late Middle Ages . He is generally considered the first in a line of great artists who contributed to the Renaissance .   Giotto 's contemporary , the banker and chronicler Giovanni Villani , wrote that Giotto was `` the most sovereign master of painting in his time , who drew all his figures and their postures according to nature '' and also of his publicly recognized `` talent and excellence '' . ''

neg: Idealism (Christian eschatology) Idealism ( also called the spiritual approach , the allegorical approach , the nonliteral approach , and many other names ) in Christian eschatology is an interpretation of the Book of Revelation that sees all of the imagery of the book as symbols .   Jacob Taubes writes that idealist eschatology came about as Renaissance thinkers began to doubt that the Kingdom of Heaven had been established on earth , or would be established , but still believed in its establishment . Rather than the Kingdom of Heaven being present in society , it is established subjectively for the individual .   F. D. Maurice interpreted the Kingdom of Heaven idealistically as a symbol representing society 's general improvement , instead of a physical and political kingdom . Karl Barth interprets eschatology as representing existential truths that bring the individual hope , rather than history or future-history . Barth 's ideas provided fuel for the Social Gospel philosophy in America , which saw social change not as performing `` required '' good works , but because the individuals involved felt that Christians could not simply ignore society 's problems with future dreams .   Different authors have suggested that the Beast represents various social injustices , such as exploitation of workers , wealth , the elite , commerce , materialism , and imperialism . Various Christian anarchists , such as Jacques Ellul , have identified the State and political power as the Beast .   It is distinct from Preterism , Futurism and Historicism in that it does not see any of the prophecies ( except in some cases the Second Coming , and Final Judgment ) as being fulfilled in a literal , physical , earthly sense either in the past , present or future , and that to interpret the eschatological portions of the Bible in a historical or future-historical fashion is an erroneous understanding .

neg: Old master print An old master print is a work of art produced by a printing process within the Western tradition . The term remains current in the art trade , and there is no easy alternative in English to distinguish the works of `` fine art '' produced in printmaking from the vast range of decorative , utilitarian and popular prints that grew rapidly alongside the artistic print from the 15th century onwards . Fifteenth-century prints are sufficiently rare that they are classed as old master prints even if they are of crude or merely workmanlike artistic quality . A date of about 1830 is usually taken as marking the end of the period whose prints are covered by this term .   The main techniques used , in order of their introduction , are woodcut , engraving , etching , mezzotint and aquatint , although there are others . Different techniques are often combined in a single print . With rare exceptions printed on textiles , such as silk , or on vellum , old master prints are printed on paper . This article is concerned with the artistic , historical and social aspects of the subject ; the article on printmaking summarizes the techniques used in making old master prints , from a modern perspective .   Many great European artists , such as Albrecht Dürer , Rembrandt , and Francisco Goya , were dedicated printmakers . In their own day , their international reputations largely came from their prints , which were spread far more widely than their paintings . Influences between artists were also mainly transmitted beyond a single city by prints ( and sometimes drawings ) , for the same reason . Prints therefore are frequently brought up in detailed analyses of individual paintings in art history . Today , thanks to colour photo reproductions , and public galleries , their paintings are much better known , whilst their prints are only rarely exhibited , for conservation reasons . But some museum print rooms allow visitors to see their collection , sometimes only by appointment .

neg: Master of Anthony of Burgundy The Master of Anthony of Burgundy was a Flemish miniature painter active in Bruges between about 1460 and 1490 , apparently running a large workshop , and producing some of the most sophisticated work of the final flowering of Flemish illumination . He was first identified by Winkler in 1921 ; his name is derived from one of his most elevated patrons , Anthony of Burgundy , Philip the Good 's illegitimate son , though he also worked for the Dukes and other bibliophiles in Burgundian court circles , who had already been allocated `` Masters '' by art historians . His contributions to the heavily illustrated Froissart of Louis of Gruuthuse ( BnF Fr 2643-6 ) from the early 1470s , on which several of the leading illuminators of the day worked , show him excelling some more famous names , like Loiset Lyédet . The young Master of the Dresden Prayer Book worked as his assistant on this book , suggesting he was an apprentice ; a number of other anonymous masters have been postulated as his pupils . Other works are in the libraries of Paris , Wrocław , Philadelphia , Munich , Cambridge University Library and elsewhere .   He sometimes painted using gold and silver on a black background , as in the Vienna Black Hours ( or Sforza Hours and other titles ) now in Vienna . It is through the somewhat controversial attribution of that book to him , and its further identification with a book presented to Charles the Bold and known to have been illustrated by Philippe de Mazerolles , the Frenchman appointed as Burgundian court illuminator , that he has been proposed as identical to de Mazerolles , who is documented between 1454-1479 .   The Master , or his circle , have also been associated with the first engravings produced for book illustration , in an edition of Boccaccio printed in Bruges by Colard Mansion in about 1476 .

neg: Bronzino Agnolo di Cosimo ( -LSB- ˈaɲɲolo di ˈkɔːzimo -RSB- ; November 17 , 1503 -- November 23 , 1572 ) , usually known as Bronzino ( `` Il Bronzino '' -LSB- il bronˈdziːno -RSB- in Italian ) , or Agnolo Bronzino , was a Florentine Mannerist painter . His sobriquet , Bronzino , in all probability refers to his relatively dark skin .   He lived all his life in Florence , and from his late 30s was kept busy as the court painter of Cosimo I de ' Medici , Grand Duke of Tuscany . He was mainly a portraitist but also painted many religious subjects , and a few allegorical subjects , which include what is probably his best known work , Venus , Cupid , Folly and Time , c. 1544-45 , now in London . Many portraits of the Medicis exist in several versions with varying degrees of participation by Bronzino himself , as Cosimo was a pioneer of the copied portrait sent as a diplomatic gift .   He trained with Pontormo , the leading Florentine painter of the first generation of Mannerism , and his style was greatly influenced by him , but his elegant and somewhat elongated figures always appear calm and somewhat reserved , lacking the agitation and emotion of those by his teacher . They have often been found cold and artificial , and his reputation suffered from the general critical disfavour attached to Mannerism in the 19th and early 20th centuries . Recent decades have been more appreciative of his art .

neg: Iconophor An Iconophor , in graphic and print art , is a form of illustration ( usually book illustration ) characterized by the fact that the names of the objects represented in it start with a given letter . Its origins lie in medieval illuminations , though the abecedarian connection was usually coincidental in the Middle Ages .   Etymologically , `` iconophor '' comes from Greek , meaning `` bearer '' or `` transporter '' ( ... phor ) of image ( ikono . . ) . It seems that it was used formerly in Byzantine Christianity , to define an `` icon bearer '' , in a direct or symbolic sense .   The word iconophor was coined by Thora van Male , a French university professor ; her book , Art Dico , presents a historical panorama of the use of such illustrations in French dictionaries . She is currently working on a website to facilitate the study of iconophors ( ART DICO homepage ) .   thumb | Diderot & d'Alembert ( suppl ) A | right  thumb | Landais ( 1834 ) A | right   The principle of creating an art form around a letter , and illustrating it with items whose name starts with that letter is not a recent invention . Some of the artists who designed them are :  16th century : Hans Holbein ( according to Anatole de Courde de Montaiglon , the letters M to Z of Holbein 's Alphabet de la Mort are based on this principle ) ; Paulini ( certain passages of Ovid 's Metamorphoses )  17th century : Claude Mellan ( French ) ; Giuseppe Maria Mitelli ( Italian , Alfabeto in Sogno )  The principle is also commonly used in ABC primers , and often their very mainspring .   In the late 17th century illustrations of this type started appearing in the ornamentation of French dictionaries . The earliest of these was César de Rochefort 's Dictionnaire général et curieux ( 1685 ) ; the only iconophor in it is the ornamental initial letter at A , for Annunciation .   The first lexicographical work to be ornamented with iconophors from A to Z was the supplement to Diderot and d'Alembert 's Encyclopédie published in 1776 . Congruent with the full title of the Encyclopédie itself ( Encyclopédie ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences , des arts et des métiers ) , many of the ornamental initial letters portray occupations . Here , A for astronomer .   When , in the 1830s , the illustrated press and illustrated books took off in western Europe , the iconophoric ornamentation of dictionaries also took off . The first dictionary with ornamental head-pieces ( as opposed to mere initial letters ) from A to Z was Napoléon Landais ' Dictionnaire général et grammatical ( 1834 ) . These wood-engraved headpieces were produced in one of the large Parisian wood-engraving shops , Andrew Best and Leloir .

neg: Cuban art Cuban art is an exceptionally diverse cultural blend of African , South American , European and North American elements , reflecting the diverse demographic makeup of the island . Cuban artists embraced European modernism , and the early part of the 20th century saw a growth in Cuban vanguardist movements , which were characterized by the mixing of modern artistic genres . Some of the more celebrated 20th-century Cuban artists include Amelia Peláez ( 1896 -- 1968 ) , best known for a series of mural projects , and painter Wifredo Lam ( Dec 8,1902 -- September 11 , 1982 ) , who created a highly personal version of modern primitivism . The Cuban born painter Federico Beltran Masses ( 1885-1949 ) , was renowned as a colourist whose seductive portrayals of women sometimes made overt references to the tropical settings of his childhood .   Better known internationally is the work of photographer Alberto Korda , whose photographs following the early days of the Cuban Revolution included a picture of Che Guevara which was to become one of the most recognizable images of the 20th century .   There is a flourishing street art movement influenced by Latin American artists José Guadalupe Posada and the muralist Diego Rivera .   After the Cuban Revolution of 1959 , some artists felt it was in their best interests to leave Cuba and produce their art , while others stayed behind , either happy or merely content to be creating art in Cuba , which was sponsored by the government . Because it was state sponsored , an implied censorship occurred , since artists would n't want to make art that was against the revolutionary movement as that was the source of their funding . It was during the 1980s in which art began to reflect true uninfluenced expression . The `` rebirth '' of expression in Cuban art was greatly affected by the emergence of a new generation of Cuban , which did not remember the revolution directly .   In 1981 Cubans saw the introduction of `` Volumen Uno '' , a series of one man exhibitions featuring contemporary Cuban artists . Three years later , the introduction of the `` Havana Bienal '' assisted in the further progression of the liberation of art and free speech therein .

neg: Self-portrait (Chassériau) Self-Portrait , or Portrait of the Artist in a Redingote , is an 1835 oil-on-canvas painting by French romantic artist Théodore Chassériau , which was painted when the artist was 16 . It is currently housed at the Musée du Louvre .   One of the few self-portraits Chassériau painted , Portrait of the Artist in a Redingote shows him standing and facing left , one hand concealed within his black jacket , a small book held within his other hand , at rest upon a red tablecloth . In the background is a gray-green wall , upon which hangs a palette in the upper left corner . The painter 's pose is elegant , and his gaze has been described as `` astonishingly young , and at the same time , weary '' .   Although the painting has been compared to classical and contemporary prototypes -- portraits by Raphael , Bronzino , Titian , and Ingres have been cited as inspirations -- the painting is consistent with a series of portraits of family members painted by Chassériau in his youth . The portrait is a frank portrayal of Chassériau 's unattractive features , much commented upon during his life : Alice Ozy , later his mistress , referred to him as `` the monkey '' . By comparison , a self-portrait of 1838 , also in the Louvre , appears more idealized .

neg: Rasa Renaissance Rasa Renaissance is a movement in the art of painting that makes evocation of rasas the prime aim in the creation and appreciation of a work of art . Rasa is the quality of emotional fulfilment that a work of art produces through the personalities , their expression and the situation presented in a painting . Rasa is a Sanskrit word that denotes the quality of emotional fulfilment that a work of art brings about . Rasa Theory is a theory of aesthetic criticism that has been prevalent in appreciation of literary works in Sanskrit language for millenniums ( see Indian aesthetic ) .  The idea of Rasa Renaissance has evolved in the last quarter of the twentieth century in the domain of painting as a countermovement to abstract and conceptual art . Rasa Renaissance is led by artist , philosopher and Sanskrit scholar Dr. Mumbiram of India ( Ph.D Berkeley California ) . In the twentieth century the art of painting progressively became dissociated from depiction of personalities in real world situations . It concerned itself with exploration of forms and colours for their own sake . It became more or less an exercise in clever intellectual sophistication . Art of Rasa Renaissance presupposes personalities in various situations and in various emotional states as central to a work of art .

neg: Giovanni Niccolò Giovanni Niccolò ( also Giovanni Nicolao ; Nola , 1560 -- Macau , 16 March 1626 ) was a Jesuit Italian painter who in 1583 was sent to found a seminary of painting , named the Seminary of Painters , in Japan .   Alessandro Valignano , one of the first Jesuit missionaries sent to Japan with Francis Xavier , who later became the first canonised Jesuit saint , appreciated that art communicated where languages often could n't . In a desire to both educate and provide Christian art to new converts , Valignano wrote to Rome requesting an accomplished Christian artist who could both produce art for his mission as well as teach students . Giovanni Niccolò arrived in Japan in 1583 `` and began to train students , including Watano Mâncio , Mâncio João and Pedro João . The Seminario dei Pittori , or Painting School , was officially established in Kumamoto around 1590 '' . The Painting School 's students included not only Japanese , but also Europeans and Chinese who were taught a variety of techniques ranging from oil to watercolours . Examples of its students ' works were shipped to Rome as proof of its success .   The school would become the largest school of Western painting in Asia . While there , Niccolò also created devotional objects for use by Japanese Catholic churches and converts . His preferred images were primarily the Salvator Mundi and Madonna . No known works remain that can be positively attributed to Giovanni Niccolò , although a tentative identification of an oil sketch of the Virgin and Child currently in an Osaka collection has been made .   Although the school had to relocate several times to avoid persecution , it was eventually exiled from Japan less than three decades later when the last missionaries were expelled from Japan in 1614 .   Several of the school 's students fled to Macau , where they contributed to St. Paul 's Cathedral , while some were sent to China to assist Matteo Ricci . These included Emmanuele Pereira ( 1572-1630 , the artist of the only picture we have of Matteo Ricci painted by someone who had known and seen him ) and Ni Yagu ( 1579-1638 , who painted two large altarpieces for Saint Paul 's church in Macau in 1601 ) , who became famous in their own right .

neg: In the Conservatory __ NOTOC __   In the Conservatory ( French : Dans la serre ) is an 1879 oil painting by Édouard Manet in the Alte Nationalgalerie , Berlin . The setting is a conservatory at 70 in Paris , then owned by painter Otto Rosen and which Manet used as a studio for nine months in 1878 and 1879 . At first glance , we see a double portrait of a fashionable and attractive couple of some social rank . They are Manet 's friends , the Guillemets , who owned a clothing shop . Their married status is conveyed by their rings , and the proximity of their hands is the nearest hint of intimacy . The woman becomes the focus of the portrait , however , being more prominently placed and colourfully dressed . Their physical separation -- with the husband Jules slouching in dark clothing behind the bench -- and their lack of engagement with the viewer create a sense of detachment , which has been the primary theme in modern criticism of the work .   The painting was exhibited in the 1879 Paris Salon and was regarded as surprisingly conservative for Manet . Jules-Antoine Castagnary wrote , with tongue in cheek , `` But what is this ? Face and hands more carefully drawn than usual : is Manet making concessions to the public ? '' -- and said it portrayed `` the elegance of fashionable life '' . Yet the portrait is not entirely conventional -- the sense of dislocation carries to the background . Joris-Karl Huysmans called the subjects `` marvelously detached from the envelope of green surrounding them '' .  The interplay of lines formally defines the work . The woman has an erect posture echoed by the vertical slats of the bench , and the man , though leaning forward , does not break that vertical . The bench continues off the right side , reinforcing the horizontal and the separation of foreground and background . The diagonal pleats on the woman 's dress provide some relief from the linearity of the composition .   Jean-Baptiste Faure bought In the Conservatory from Manet , along with three other paintings , for the `` paltry sum '' of 11,000 francs .   In 1896 In the Conservatory was bought by the Deutsche Nationalgalerie in Berlin . The Nationalgalerie thus was the first museum worldwide that purchased a picture of Manet .   In 1945 by the end of the Second World War In the Conservatory was among the objects evacuated from the German National Gallery and the Berlin State Museums and put for safekeeping in a mine in Merkers . After the war the picture was discovered and secured by the Monuments Men . Its salvage was documented in several photographs which show soldiers from the U.S. Army posing with Manet 's painting in the mine in Merkers . These photographs have gained iconographic status over the years and are often falsely used as an illustration of Nazi looted art in prestigious publications like the Deutsche Welle , The Washington Post , The New York Times and even in academic papers .

neg: Niccolò dell'Arca Niccolò dell ' Arca ( c. 1435-1440 -- 2 March 1494 ) was an Italian Early Renaissance sculptor . He is also known under the names Niccolò da Ragusa , Niccolò da Bari and Niccolò d'Antonio d'Apulia . The surname `` dell ' Arca '' refers to his contribution to the Arca di San Domenico .   The place and the year of his birth are not certain . He was probably born in Apulia , perhaps in Bari , and then most likely lived for some time in Dalmatia . According to C. Gnudi ( see ref . ) he received training there by the Dalmatian sculptor Giorgio da Sebenico .   The Burgundian elements in his sculpture are attributed by some art historians to his presumed participation in the triumphal arch of the Castel Nuovo in Naples during the 1450s ( where he would have known the Catalan sculptor Guillem Sagrera and would be influenced by his style ) .   Others , rejecting his training in Naples , contend instead that he travelled to France in the late 1460s . According to them , his further training then allegedly took place in Siena , influenced by the works of Jacopo della Quercia and Donatello .   He was mentioned for the first time in September 1462 in Bologna as Maestro Nicolò da Puglia , a `` master of terracotta figures '' . This probably refers to the `` Compianto sul Cristo morto '' , terracotta group in the Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Vita in Bologna ( also mentioned in a Bull of 1464 by Pope Paul II ) . A life-size group of six separate figures stand lamenting in a semicircle around the dead Christ in a lying posture . The dramatic pathos , the expressions of grief and torment of the figures is intensified by the realism of their dramatic facial details . However the date of this innovative contribution to Renaissance sculpture is uncertain . Instead of c. 1460 , some date it between 1485 and 1490 .   In 1469 he got the commission of an ambitious new addition on the Arca di San Domenico : a spiral superstructure and several free-standing figures on top of the sarcophagus . This sarcophagus with the remains of Saint Dominic had been sculpted two centuries before by Nicola Pisano and his workshop ( between 1265 and 1267 ) . It had been completed by lapo , Arnolfo di Cambio and fra Guglielmo Agnelli . Niccolò dell ' Arca added an elaborate spire with an impressive statue of `` God the Father '' on top of a candelabrum , held by two putti and four dolphins , all covered with festoons with fruit . On the cornice at its base is in the middle a small Pietà , flanked by two angels , while on the four corners stand the four Evangelists in oriental dress . The lower part of the superstructure is surrounded by free-standing figures : the Patron Saints of Bologna ( Saint Francis of Assisi ) , San Petronio ( began by Niccolò but finished by young Michelangelo in 1494 ) , Saint Dominic and Saint Florian . On the back stand St Anne , St John the Baptist ( sculpted by Girolamo Cortellini in 1539 ) , San Procolo and San Vitale . Niccolò also added the Candlestick-holding Angel on the left side of the altar slab ( the one on the right side is by Michelangelo ) .   Niccolò dell ' Arca worked on this masterpiece between 1469 and 1473 , leaving it unfinished . He probably continued intermittently at it until his death . Art critics see in this masterpiece a blend of influences : Burgundian , Florentine and non-Tuscan ( such as details in clothing ) . The way these statuettes express their emotions and the patterns in their dresses and hair evoke the style of Jacopo della Quercia .   Some other important works include the terracotta bust of Saint Dominic ( 1474 ) ( in the museum of the Basilica of San Domenico in Bologna ) , a marble statue of St. John the Baptist ( in the Escorial in Madrid ) and the terracotta figure of Saint Monica ( c. 1478-1480 ) ( Museum Palace in Modena ) .   Also notable is the terracotta high relief of Madonna di Piazza ( 1478 ) on the wall of the Palazzo Comunale in Bologna . In the marked drapery folds is seen the influence of Jacopo della Quercia and also traces of the dynamic naturalism of his contemporary Andrea del Verrocchio .

neg: Ideal (ethics) An ideal is a principle or value that one actively pursues as a goal , usually in the context of ethics . Ideals are particularly important in ethics , as the order in which one places them tends to determine the degree to which one reveals them as real and sincere . It is the application , in ethics , of a universal . It is roughly similar to the relative intrinsic values .   Someone who claims to have an ideal of honesty but is willing to lie to protect a friend is demonstrating that not only does he hold friendship as an ideal , but , that it is a more important one than honesty . Thus ideals can be seen to be similar to values .   However , the - ism of ideals is slightly contrasted with idealism ( which is the doctrine that ideas , or thought , make up either the whole or an indispensable aspect of any full reality , so that a world of material objects containing no thought either could not exist as it is experienced , or would not be fully `` real .

neg: Leonardo da Vinci International Art Award The Leonardo da Vinci Award was established in 1975 by the Rotary Club of Florence as an annual international prize named after Leonardo da Vinci , to be presented to young people involved in the study of the sciences , technology , literature and the arts . Among the disciplines recognised and rewarded so far have been painting , sculpture , music , geology , architecture , medicine and nuclear physics . The 21st Leonardo da Vinci Prize was recently presented to the brilliant young pianist Johan Schmidt . The prize giving event has been hosted by other European Rotary Clubs in cities such as Tours , Vienna , Athens , Madrid , Würzburg , Brussels and Amsterdam . This event was last held in London in 1987 , when the prize was awarded to the internationally recognised percussionist Evelyn Glennie . In 1996 1/2 the Rotary Club of London will again be responsible for hosting the prize-giving ceremony .

neg: Francis Picabia Francis Picabia ( -LSB- fʁɑ̃sis pikabja -RSB- ; born Francis-Marie Martinez de Picabia , 22January 1879 -- 30November 1953 ) was a French avant-garde painter , poet and typographist . After experimenting with Impressionism and Pointillism , Picabia became associated with Cubism . His highly abstract planar compositions were colourful and rich in contrasts . He was one of the early major figures of the Dada movement in the United States and in France . He was later briefly associated with Surrealism , but would soon turn his back on the art establishment .

neg: Portrait of Baronne de Rothschild Baronne de Rothschild is a 1848 portrait by the French Neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres . The sitter , Betty de Rothschild ( 1805 -- 1886 ) had married banker James Mayer de Rothschild and was one of the wealthiest women in Europe , and one of the foremost Parisian patrons of the arts . Her beauty and elegance were widely known and celebrated , and inspired Heinrich Heine 's poem The Angel . For her portrait , which is painted in oil on canvas , Ingres sought to infuse symbols of her material wealth with the dignity , grace and beauty of Renaissance art , especially that of Raphael , while at the same time adhering to the command of line as practiced by Jan van Eyck . It is this combination which , according to art historians , places Ingres so far apart from his early modernist contemporaries .   Betty de Rothschild 's portrait is regarded as one of Ingres ' most accomplished works , and has been described as `` perhaps the most sumptuous yet approachable image of mid-nineteenth-century opulence .

neg: Raymond Chandler bibliography Raymond Chandler ( 1888 -- 1959 ) was an American-British novelist and screenwriter . He was born in Chicago , Illinois and lived in the US until he was seven , when his parents separated and his Anglo-Irish mother brought him to live near London ; he was educated at Dulwich College from 1900 . After working briefly for the British Civil Service , he became a part-time teacher at Dulwich , supplementing his income as a journalist and writer -- mostly for The Westminster Gazette and The Academy . His output -- consisting largely of poems and essays -- was not to his taste , and his biographer Paul Bishop considers the work as `` lifeless '' , while Contemporary Authors describes it as `` lofty in subject and mawkish in tone '' . Chandler returned to the US in 1912 where he trained to become an accountant in Los Angeles . In 1917 he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force , saw combat in the trenches in France where he was wounded , and was undergoing flight training in the fledgling Royal Air Force when the war ended .   Chandler returned to the US in 1919 to rekindle his literary career , but instead took a job with an oil company until he was fired in 1932 following a bout of depression , womanizing and heavy drinking . He began writing crime stories for the pulp magazines Black Mask , Detective Fiction Weekly , The Fortnightly Intruder and Dime Detective . The stories were subsequently brought together in collected editions . In 1939 , at the behest of the publisher Alfred A. Knopf , Sr. , Chandler wrote his first novel , The Big Sleep , for which he used parts of his short stories `` Killer in the Rain '' ( 1935 ) and `` The Curtain '' ( 1936 ) . He went on to write seven novels , many of which featured the character Philip Marlowe .   In 1944 Chandler was asked by Paramount Pictures to write the script for the film Double Indemnity with Billy Wilder ; the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay . It was the first of seven scripts Chandler wrote , although two of them were unused . In 1959 Chandler died of pneumonia , brought on by alcoholism . In the aftermath of his death , many of his unpublished writings -- including letters , literary criticism and prose and poetry -- were released . His biographer Tom Williams considers that Chandler 's name has become `` a touchstone for crime writing , representing not just excellent fiction , but also a type of writing that is at once powerful and beautiful .

neg: Farewell to the World Farewell to the World is a 1996 concert by rock group Crowded House . The concert was recorded on the outside footsteps of the famed Sydney Opera House as a charity event to raise funds for the Sydney Children 's Hospital . The event was originally scheduled to occur on the night of 23 November 1996 , however was delayed one day due to rain . The concert was to be the last that the group played as the group announced their dissolution months earlier . The concert attracted a crowd of greater than 100,000 people , with some estimates of 250,000 people in attendance . Since then , several concerts have been performed there such as the Mushroom Records anniversary celebration and every Australian Idol year finale dually uses the outdoor as well as the indoor of the Opera House .   The concert was originally aired on Network Ten in Australia in November 1996 however this performance was incomplete as it did not include five songs performed from the concert due to time constraints . In December 1996 , the group released the concert on VHS which included some press coverage of the band 's breakup and the concert . The VHS version contained all of the same songs as the television version other than `` Weather with You , '' which was replaced by the fan favourite song `` Hole In the River . ''   The CD and DVD of the concert were released in November 2006 as a ten-year anniversary of the original concert . These versions were remastered and the DVD included all previous footage from the VHS but also added an interview with Neil Finn by Jana Wendt on Channel Nine 's Sunday program . All of the songs were included on the DVD and CD release , including those omitted previously and the sound ( and , for DVD , picture ) was digitally remastered .   The concert included many of Crowded House 's most famous hits and many fan favourites also . The supporting bands were Custard , You Am I and Powderfinger . Powderfinger released their performance also with selected versions of their album Internationalist .   As the album was to be the final performance by the group , they called upon previous members Tim Finn and tour drummer Peter Jones to play for a small portion of the setlist . Drummer Paul Hester , though he had previously left the band while on tour , was considered a member of the band again for the performance , as he had been a member for the majority of the group 's tenure .

neg: James Moore (furniture designer) ïJames Moore ( c. 1670 - October 1726 ) was an 18th-century cabinet maker in London who worked for George I . He was in partnership with John Gumley from 1714 . As royal cabinet-maker he supplied walnut and mahogany furniture for the royal household , the royal yacht , and the king 's servants and mistresses , as well as the rich gilt gesso furniture for which he is best known but which constituted a small part of his output .   Early references to Moore are in the Duke of Montagu 's domestic expenses , 1708 , and the entry in the accounts of Lord Hervey , soon created Earl of Bristol , for `` glass piers & sconces '' , 1710 . Moore and his son , James Moore the younger , were among craftsmen furnishing Cannons for James Brydges , 1st Duke of Chandos A gilt gesso table from Stowe House , now at the Victoria and Albert is in the unmistakable style of James Moore ; it bears the cypher and baron 's coronet of Richard Temple , Lord Cobham , and can be dated 1714-18 on that basis .   James Moore assumed the position of clerk of the works at Blenheim Palace , completing and furnishing the house after Sarah Churchill , Duchess of Marlborough , quarreled with her architect , John Vanbrugh ; Moore had first appeared as the Duchess 's `` glass man '' , providing pier glasses in the house . By 1714 the Duchess referred to him as `` my oracle , Mr. Moore '' who `` certainly has very good sense and I think him very honest and understanding in many trades besides his own . ''   Moore is especially known for gilt gesso furniture , tables looking-glass frames and candlestands . A pair of gilt gesso side tables bearing the crowned cypher of George I in the Royal Collection and the pair of candlestands en suite are incised with his name , an unusual practice at the time . At Erddig , gilt gesso furniture by Moore can be linked to surviving bills receipted by James Moore and John Belchier , 1722-26 .   The succeeding royal cabinet-maker , Benjamin Goodison , trained in Moore 's workshop .

neg: Roger Miller Roger Dean Miller , Sr. ( January 2 , 1936 -- October 25 , 1992 ) was an American singer-songwriter , musician , and actor , best known for his honky-tonk-influenced novelty songs . His most recognized tunes included the chart-topping country/pop hits `` King of the Road '' , `` Dang Me '' , and `` England Swings '' , all from the mid-1960s Nashville sound era .   After growing up in Oklahoma and serving in the United States Army , Miller began his musical career as a songwriter in the late 1950s , penning such hits as `` Billy Bayou '' and `` Home '' for Jim Reeves and `` Invitation to the Blues '' for Ray Price . He later began a recording career and reached the peak of his fame in the mid-1960s , continuing to record and tour into the 1990s , charting his final top 20 country hit `` Old Friends '' with Willie Nelson in 1982 . He also wrote and performed several of the songs for the 1973 Disney animated film Robin Hood . Later in his life , he wrote the music and lyrics for the 1985 Tony-award winning Broadway musical Big River , in which he acted .   Miller died from lung cancer in 1992 , and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame three years later . His songs continued to be recorded by younger artists , with covers of `` Tall , Tall Trees '' by Alan Jackson and `` Husbands and Wives '' by Brooks & Dunn , each reaching the number one spot on country charts in the 1990s . The Roger Miller Museum in his home town of Erick , Oklahoma , is a tribute to Miller .

neg: On This Day In History On This Day In History was a feature on the BBC Radio 1 breakfast show in the UK between 1988 and 1993 . It was devised by the programme 's presenter at the time , Simon Mayo .   Mayo , a history graduate from University of Warwick , used the day 's date each morning to regurgitate historical anniversaries and events which had happened on that date in years passed .   As a quirk , he would often add a mildly cynical punchline to each of the stories he recounted , and then would get his `` crew '' ( female co-host , newsreader and producer ) each to guess the age of living celebrities who were born on that day .   A tie-in book of the same title was published in later years , with much advertisement by the BBC , initially just to give away on the show to a daily winner who rang in with the correct answer to a question posed by Mayo about a specific person or event of relevance to that date .   Perhaps the most famous part of the feature was the music used to soundtrack it ; a looped instrumental version of the George Michael hit I Want Your Sex ; the full version of which had been banned from broadcast by Radio 1 when it was released in 1987 .   The feature ended when Mayo left the breakfast show , although when he switched to the mid-morning programme , he revived it in part with a spot called Dead Or Alive ? , where he would ask listeners whether celebrities or known figures born on the date in question were still living or not .   Mayo now works for BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Five Live and no longer does any features which show off his passion for history . However , the feature is a regular on Chris Evans ' Radio 2 breakfast show , with a celebrity guest reading events that happened on that particular day in history . The last fact is nearly always music related and directly links into the next song played on the show . The feature is also often heard in one form or another on many commercial radio stations .

neg: TV Nation TV Nation is a satirical newsmagazine television series written , directed and hosted by Michael Moore that was co-funded and originally broadcast by NBC in the United States and BBC2 in the United Kingdom . The show blended humor and journalism into provocative reports about various issues . After moving to Fox for its second ( and final ) season , the show won an Emmy Award in 1995 for Outstanding Informational Series .   TV Nation was created in the wake of the success Moore had with the documentary Roger & Me , prompting Warner Bros. . Television to ask Moore for television series ideas . In January 1993 , NBC green-lit a pilot episode which took three months to complete . Interest from the BBC prompted NBC to insert the show into its summer 1994 lineup .

neg: George Moore (novelist) George Augustus Moore ( 24 February 1852 -- 21 January 1933 ) was an Irish novelist , short-story writer , poet , art critic , memoirist and dramatist . Moore came from a Roman Catholic landed family who lived at Moore Hall in Carra , County Mayo . He originally wanted to be a painter , and studied art in Paris during the 1870s . There , he befriended many of the leading French artists and writers of the day .   As a naturalistic writer , he was amongst the first English-language authors to absorb the lessons of the French realists , and was particularly influenced by the works of Émile Zola . His writings influenced James Joyce , according to the literary critic and biographer Richard Ellmann , and , although Moore 's work is sometimes seen as outside the mainstream of both Irish and British literature , he is as often regarded as the first great modern Irish novelist .

neg: Moore's law Moore 's law ( -LSB- mɔərz.ˈlɔː -RSB- ) is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years . The observation is named after Gordon Moore , the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel , whose 1965 paper described a doubling every year in the number of components per integrated circuit , and projected this rate of growth would continue for at least another decade . In 1975 , looking forward to the next decade , he revised the forecast to doubling every two years . The period is often quoted as 18 months because of Intel executive David House , who predicted that chip performance would double every 18 months ( being a combination of the effect of more transistors and the transistors being faster ) .   Moore 's prediction proved accurate for several decades , and has been used in the semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for research and development .  Advancements in digital electronics are strongly linked to Moore 's law : quality-adjusted microprocessor prices , memory capacity , sensors and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras . Digital electronics has contributed to world economic growth in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries .  Moore 's law describes a driving force of technological and social change , productivity , and economic growth .   Moore 's law is an observation or projection and not a physical or natural law . Although the rate held steady from 1975 until around 2012 , the rate was faster during the first decade . In general , it is not logically sound to extrapolate from the historical growth rate into the indefinite future . For example , the 2010 update to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors , predicted that growth would slow around 2013 , and in 2015 Gordon Moore foresaw that the rate of progress would reach saturation : `` I see Moore 's law dying here in the next decade or so . ''   Intel stated in 2015 that the pace of advancement has slowed , starting at the 22 nm feature width around 2012 , and continuing at 14 nm . Brian Krzanich , CEO of Intel , announced that `` our cadence today is closer to two and a half years than two . '' This is scheduled to hold through the 10 nm width in late 2017 . He cited Moore 's 1975 revision as a precedent for the current deceleration , which results from technical challenges and is `` a natural part of the history of Moore 's law . ''   However , in April 2016 , Intel CEO Brian Krzanich stated that `` In my 34 years in the semiconductor industry , I have witnessed the advertised death of Moore 's Law no less than four times . As we progress from 14 nanometer technology to 10 nanometer and plan for 7 nanometer and 5 nanometer and even beyond , our plans are proof that Moore 's Law is alive and well '' . In January 2017 , he declared that `` I 've heard the death of Moore 's law more times than anything else in my career , '' Krzanich said . `` And I 'm here today to really show you and tell you that Moore 's Law is alive and well and flourishing . ''   Today hardware has to be designed in a multi-core manner to keep up with Moore 's law . In turn , this also means that software has to be written in a multi-threaded manner to take full advantage of the hardware .

query: Travis Barker refused to ever join an American rock band.

pos: Blink-182 Blink-182 ( often stylized as blink-182 ; pronounced `` blink one eighty two '' ) is an American rock band formed in Poway , California in 1992 . The band currently consists of bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus , drummer Travis Barker , and guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba . Founded by guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge , bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus and drummer Scott Raynor , the band emerged from the Southern California punk scene of the early 1990s and first gained notoriety for high-energy live shows and irreverent lyrical toilet humor . Blink-182 was initially known as Blink until an Irish band of the same name threatened legal action ; in response , the band appended the meaningless number '' -182 '' .   In its early years , Blink-182 toured heavily behind the band 's debut , Cheshire Cat ( 1995 ) . The group signed with major label MCA Records to co-distribute its second album , Dude Ranch ( 1997 ) . Raynor was fired midway through a 1998 tour and replaced by Barker . The group 's next two releases , Enema of the State ( 1999 ) and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket ( 2001 ) , were enormous successes on the strength of radio and MTV airplay . The eponymously titled Blink-182 followed in 2003 and marked a stylistic shift for the group . DeLonge quit in 2005 , sending the band into what was termed an `` indefinite hiatus '' . They reunited in 2009 , producing the trio 's sixth album , Neighborhoods ( 2011 ) . In 2015 , DeLonge again exited and was replaced by Alkaline Trio guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba . The band 's seventh studio album , California , was released on July 1 , 2016 .   Blink-182 is considered a key group in the development of pop punk ; the band 's combination of pop melodies with fast-paced punk rock featured a more radio-friendly accessibility than prior bands . The trio has sold over thirteen million albums in the United States , and over 50 million albums worldwide . In 2011 , The New York Times asserted , `` no punk band of the 1990s has been more influential than Blink-182 , '' and even as the band receded after its 2005 split , `` its sound and style could be heard in the muscular pop punk of Fall Out Boy or in the current wave of high-gloss Warped Tour punk bands , like All Time Low and The Maine .

The group consisted of guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker of Blink-182 , formerly alongside guitarist David Kennedy of Hazen Street . Anthony Celestino later joined the ensemble as a bassist . DeLonge created the project to pursue darker ideas he felt unsuited to his work with Blink-182 . Jeff Russell from Signals Midwest was also invited to join the band but declined . Box Car Racer was partly inspired and viewed as a tribute to Jawbox , Quicksand , Fugazi and Refused .   The group recorded the band 's eponymous debut , Box Car Racer , in quick fashion with a more DIY spirit . MCA Records issued the band 's lone release in May 2002 , which peaked on the Billboard 200 at number 12 . Singles `` I Feel So '' and `` There Is '' also charted on the Modern Rock Tracks chart , with the former shooting to number eight . The band embarked on their sole headlining tour across North America in the fall of 2002 with supporting act The Used . Box Car Racer created unresolved tension within Blink-182 and inevitably influenced the band 's following studio album , the more experimental Blink-182 ( 2003 ) .
