...Dannette Tejeda 10/03/10 Family & Gender Comanducci Public Rituals of Marriages Flowers, a white gown, a venue or perhaps a church, family and friends, a ceremony, a reception, and above all love are the fundamental essentials for a wedding, let a lone a marriage. Yet, occasions such as weddings were not as passive in the fourteenth century as they are now. During the renaissance, weddings were not just the bond of two individual people who wished to be committed to each other by the law or their religion; but it was the binding of a patrilineal alliance and for that reason it was vital for all aspects of a marriage to be a public, communal spectacle. This notion took away from all that was personal from a woman as it was inscribed in her code of honor to accept her public passing from her father’s legal possession to her new husband. The wedding in itself had at the least four different steps, which were: the impalmamento, the sponsalia, the matrimonium, and the nozze. They were specific transactions because during the Renaissance women were in some terms irrelevant and were only allowed to walk the streets to attend masses in church. However, when these stages were taken in action, the publicity announced the benefit of the alliances made between families and that is what makes them so significant. The first stage towards a marriage was the impalmamento. The impalmamento signifies “engagement, a promise of marriage, specifically, as a confirmation of...

... Devindra Mohabir September 15, 2013 European History Differences in Art Both the Italian and Northern Renaissance had a lot of great art works, and artistes. They had some similar ideas in term of art and they had some differences. The Renaissance all started in Florence, Italy during the 14th century. Florence was the perfect place for it to start because it was at the center of an international trading port with both Europe and the Middle East. Also because Italy was at the center on the Roman Empire after it fell. The Renaissance was spawned by the birth of the philosophy of humanism, which emphasized the importance of individual achievement in a wide range of fields such as art and writing. Although Italian Renaissance broke all tradition with Gothic style of art during the 15th century, it was a different story on the north side of Europe. The north never really abandoned the dark and gothic styles, it held on to it. In the North, Artistes were focusing more on the Middle-class and peasant class than on the wealthy. Artists such as Pieter Bruegel and Hieronymus Bosch were creating masterpieces of the peasant life. They were showing their perspective of it. “The Peasant Wedding” is a great example of this; Pieter Bruegel painted it in 1567 and it just simply show a wedding celebration of a peasant. The North also focused more on nature and landscapes. They focused more on the out doors and less on humans. “St John The Baptist...

...the Italian Renaissance and the Northern Renaissance. Cite examples to illustrate your comparisons. Northern Renaissance took place in areas of Western Europe, north of the Alps. In that time artist were more focused on daily life. Beauty was found in everyday living and simplicity of life. Famous artists from that time like Peter Brugal painted pictures such as “The Peasant Wedding." Picture shows simple life of ordinary people attending weeding. Pictures like this has symbolic meaning and moral aspect. Pieter Bruegel, The Peasant Wedding, oil on panel, 1566-69 On the other side, the Italian Renaissance came much earlier than Northern Renaissance. The Italian Renaissance, had focused more on the wealthy class. Artist paid more attention to details to leave impression of wealthy and powerful people that they try to present. Background of that time give explanation why artists used to present that kind of life. Geographically Italy was very important in Mediterranean and it was one of the biggest centers for business. Therefore, individuals were becoming very wealthy and power of some individuals reached to political circles. The Italian Renaissance focused on religion as well. Popes were very wealthy and almost like kings in another societies. Oftentimes, paintings reflected themes of the Classical times, and some artists nearly copied the forms of ancient Greek statues and artwork. Based on that Greek Roman influence was very important in Italian Renaissance. It showed a...

...Developing Europe into a powerhouse, the Renaissance marked complete cultural transition of Europe out of the Middle Ages and identified a societal change of values and ideas reflected in the art and literature of the time period; the “rebirth” in Southern Europe, however, differed from Northern Europe. As both the North and South had access to newly printed materials courtesy the printing press, they did share commonality of thought- both supplied predominant Christian artistic themes, had an artistic ‘center’, and provided systems of guilds and patrons. The Southern, or Italian, Renaissance began during the 14th century and “inevitably, trade and commerce brought Italian ideas northward, where they influenced the artistic traditions” beginning the 16th century Northern Renaissance (Benton and DiYanni 53). The South focused on a return to the concept of humanism and revival of idealist, classic Greek and Roman values, but the North focused on the common man and daily realities of life. Centered around Florence then later Rome, aided by the patronage of the Medici family in the Early Renaissance and Popes in the High Renaissance, and inspired by Greek and Roman mythology, the Southern Renaissance movement emphasized humans (their capacities, values and worth). Italian artists made the viewer delve into the inner working of the human mind and their subject matter primarily consisted of gods and goddesses displayed with symmetry, balance, and linear perspective. Known for his goddess...

...Renaissance Art American InterContinental University Abstract Following the Middle Ages, Europe saw a great revival in the interest of classical learning and in the interest of ancient Greece and Rome. From this came the discovery of new technologies, new continents through exploration, and the emergence of the arts of philosophy, literature, and art. From this time came some of the most world renowned pieces of art, many of which are still on display today, with two such pieces being “The Arnolfini Portrait” by Jan Van Eyck and “Giorgione” by Giorgio da Castelfranco. Renaissance Art From roughly 1400 to 1600 Europe experienced a rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman culture and with this rediscovery came wealth, both in the monetary fashion and in the art sense. With increasing trade, the discovery of new continents, and new inventions such as the printing press, there was also an increase in the arts. This increase brought about some of the most well known literature, philosophy, and art that is still studied and admired today. Although there are more well known names in the field of art such as DaVinci and Michelangelo there were many more that still have their art on display today such as Jan Van Eyck and Giorgio da Castelfranco. Giorgio da Castelfranco created a painted entitled “Judith” in the year 1504 and is one of many portraits that depicts the scene of Judith of Holofernes from the Biblical legend of Judith.

...The renaissance is one the most notable and one the most famous event or era to have ever taken place in history. It represented the “re birth movement” in Europe. A cultural movement that took place in the 14th century starting from Italy and then spreading out to the rest of Europe. The renaissance has enriched history with many things such as revolution, knowledge and has of course, its richness in art. There were a lot of objects, art pieces left from the renaissance that had they’re meaning and symbolism to everything that was happening in that time. Personally, the renaissance is my favorite piece of history that I have always enjoyed reading and researching about. Therefore I Have chosen 5 objects from the renaissance period that caught my eyes, and will further discuss them. The first Object I have chosen is “David” that was created by the great artist Michelangelo. It is a masterpiece of the renaissance sculpture that was created between 1501 and 1504. The statute is a 5.17 meter of a nude male standing, made out of marble. The nude man standing represents David, who was a biblical hero, a favored subject in the art of Florence. Since the statue was of a hero, it was used to symbolize the defense of civil liberties that were embodied in the republic of Florence, which was a city-state that was constantly threatened by surrounded more powerful states and the Medici family. The eyes on David’s face were believed to be positioned in a manner that he is overlooking to...

...Davenport Hotel Spokane is really beautiful city with a lot of fabulous architecture pieces. The downtown area of Spokane looks kind of urbanized with high, modern buildings, but it is a great area just to be in and observe local architecture there. One of the greatest architectures in the city is the Davenport Hotel. It is probably the most impressive building in Spokane. What makes this building really interesting is that this building exists almost for one hundred years and it’s a part of Spokane’s history. The hotel was opened in September 1914. From the day of the opening different stories about the hotel were popular among hotel’s visitors and Spokane residents. The facts that many famous people had visited the Hotel and that some mysterious things like visitors had seen a ghost in the Hotel make the building more attractive. Since the first day of the hotel’s existence the hotel was always surrounded by its visitors’ sympathy because this architectural piece is a true miracle. Anyone who had visited the hotel would agree that this building is a perfect example of a building harmoniously combining new and old together. No matter from what site the building is being observed, it always impresses with beauty, royalty and harmony presented in every part of the hotel.

...voluminous religion in the world, weddings are very sacred, therefore a wedding ceremony takes an abundance of time and effort and it is composed of different rituals and ceremonies. The Hindu espousement, "Lagan Vivah" is the connection of two human beings in a nuptial ceremony that takes place according to their religion. It's the connection of not only the man and woman being espoused, but additionally of two families that will have a very special relationship from that day forward.

Hinduism is facilely the oldest major world religion that is still in utilization today. It has not only survived countless attacks but has supplemental thrived and has transmuted little to none in the last 2500-3000 years. “In Hinduism, salvation is achieved through a spiritual oneness of the soul, atman, with the ultimate authenticity of the macrocosm, Brahman. To achieve this goal, the soul must obtain moksha, or liberation from the samsara, the illimitable cycle of birth, death, and renaissance. As a result of these rudimental edifications, Hindus believe in reincarnation, which is influenced by karma (material actions resulting from the consequences of antecedent actions), and dharma (consummating one's obligation in life)"(hinduism.com). The conception of samsara is roughly that of reincarnation. All souls are trapped in a cycle of life, death, and renaissance. The...

...The Renaissance was a time period filled with the arts, every kind one could think of. It was extraordinary, brimming with new ideas. It is most commonly known as a “rebirth.” This time period occurred after the destruction the plague caused. Survivors felt that they needed to rebuild all that was lost. The plague sparked some sort of curiosity in them that led to all the Renaissance introduced. Much like the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution was an explosion of curiosity and theories. As its namesake, the Scientific Revolution included various areas of science, such as astrology, anatomy, and astronomy. This period of time, in a way, used the Renaissance as a stepping stone. The Scientific Revolution used the Renaissance’s peak of curiosity to incorporate its ideas and inspire those with interest. The Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution brought on many things such...

...Jan van Eyck was a leading Flemish painter in the Netherland Renaissance in the 15th century. Van Eyck is known primarily for his realistic portrait paintings, usually of religious subjects. At this point in time, oil painting was a new invention and not many artists knew just how to work with it. His work with oils is what made him such a talented artist in the 15th century. One work of his in particular that interests me is Giovanni Arnolfini and His Wife Giovanna Cenami, painted in 1434. This painting, made with oils on an oak panel, depicts a man and woman holding hands in what seems to be the bedroom area of their home. The man, wearing a long, fur-lined coat, is raising his right hand as if he is taking an oath or vow. The woman, dressed in a long, expensive looking green dress, has one hand resting on her stomach, as if she were pregnant, but according to historians, the swelling of a women’s stomach was just a sign of woman’s beauty. On the back wall of the room, van Eyck painted a mirror in the center of the wall, and above the mirror he wrote Jan de Eyck fuit hic, translating into “Jan van Eyck was here.” In the mirror, the reflection is that of two figures, one of these a man in a...
