Howard Pyle vs. Edwin Austin Abbey: Style and Art

Buried treasure, eye patches, and walking the plank are all words and phrases that often appear in stories involving pirates. Tales about the voyages of pirates are often adventurous and riveting ones. It is very awe-inspiring to think about the daring lives those pirates once led. However, it might not be safe to assume that these stories are close to the truth or even based on genuine facts. In 1881 Robert Louis Stevenson wrote a book entitled Treasure Island, which in return would forever change the way people looked at the term "pirate." Due to this book there are several different movies that have been created to interpret the term pirate in different ways. Black Pirate, The Dancing Pirate, Sea Hawk, and Captain Blood include some

This paper is a formal analysis of the Marble grave stele with a family group relief sculpture. It is a pentelic marble style relief standing at 171.1cm tall carved by a master. It is from the Late Classical period of Greek, Attic which was completed around ca.360 B.C. . I chose to analyze this piece as apposed to the others because I’m mainly attracted to art and sculptures from the Greek era. The overall color used in this relief is ivory with a few cracks and pieces broken off. There is some discoloration which causes the color to come off as slightly light brown for most of the relief. The sculpture appears larger compared to the other sculptures in the art room. It represents a family which includes a man, his wife, and their

Another reason there is no wholly original work is because of the many archetypes that many different books have in common.

In the poem ‘Exposure' by Wilfred Owen, Wilfred Owen has used some film techniques to appeal to my imagination in this poem. Wilfred Owen has done this by using personification, repetition and alliteration to emphasise the main idea of humankind in conflict with nature and how tormenting nature and how much pain nature has affected on Wilfred Owen and the other world War I soldiers.

Wilfred Owen’s poetry effectively conveys his perspectives on human conflict through his experiences during The Great War. Poems such as ‘Futility’ and ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ portray these perceptions through the use of poetic techniques, emphasising such conflicts involving himself, other people and nature. These themes are examined in extreme detail, attempting to shape meaning in relation to Owen’s first-hand encounters whilst fighting on the battlefield.

Have you ever watched the movie Pirates of the Caribbean? If you have you may or may not think that’s how the life of a pirate was in the 1700s. This is necessarily true though. I believe that the life of a pirate is not as glamorous as Hollywood portrays it.

The brand of justice pirates toward vessels they captured was something I found fascinating. For example, on page 88, the incident involving the capture of Captain Snelgraves vessel by the pirate Thomas Cocklyn. Initially Snelgrave resisted Cocklyns takeover so as Cocklyns crew overpowers Snelgraves and is taken by the pirates. Certain that Snelgrave will be killed or beaten for resisting, Snelgraves crew comes to their captains defense thus Cocklyn sparring the respected captains life. Because of the degree of respect Snelgraves had, Cocklyn not often seeing a government captain holding such admiration from a crew offered him a new ship and profits from a captured slave ship for his return to England. This story really caught my attention because of the level of hospitality pirates show to a captain who held such respect with his own crew.

His source range from Treasure Island, a book written by Robert Louis Stevenson, to The Complete Films of Errol Flynn. Cordingly cites his work in chicago style citations and footnotes them. The footnotes are put in alphabetical order and cited at the end of the book in the bibliography, and notes section in some cases. Some of the sources included direct quotes such as the laws cited from Captain Johnson's General History of Pirates. Other sources would included maps and paintings that are cited through Cordingly’s book such as the painting of Anne Bonny, who is discussed alongside Mary Read in Women Pirates and Pirates’ Women, a chapter in Cordingly’s book. This painting is from the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich depicts Anne Bony holding a gun that looks to have just been fired. Anne Bonny was a very big part of Condingly’s discussion in the chapter about women and piracy. This picture further backs up his point that women were raley known as pirates to the world , however there were certain were cases like Anne Bonny ‘s were women did more than just live on board their ships. A witness clearly states at the trials that Anne was in fact holding a gun during an attack on board the witnesses ship. This witness also stated the Mary Read was cursing and willing to help upon the attack on board. Sources such as these, strongly supporting Cordinglys point helped portrayed what he was

The Book is written by Adrian Tinniswood. Before I read the book I think pirates are rude and violent men, after I read the book I think pirates can be romantic and living for pirates can be jolly. There is always piracy on the sea since the days of commerce. Through the history of Europe, especially in the seventeenth century, piracy become a part of European history. The pirates seemed mysterious. Even in this wonderful book, there are not many part describes the pirates, it counties to be mysterious. I think it leaves room for reader’s imagination.

A standout amongst the most acclaimed pirates is Edward Tech (c. 1680[1] – November 22, 1718), better known as Blackbeard. He was known to wear a feathered tri-corn, and having various swords, knives, and guns available to him when he went to battle. He also had a peg leg due to losing one of legs through diabetes. The image he made himself became the image of the seafaring pirate. Blackbeard circumvented unnerving individuals into giving him cash and suchlike. In spite of having a notoriety of

Andrew Clemons the artist is well recognized by society's elite. "Capt. George M. Rising purchased the jar and presented it to General Lawler last Saturday afternoon, who, no doubt will treasure the miniature pontoon bridge, made of sand by the deaf and dumb artist boy, Andy Clemens, as one of the finest works which graces the sand in his study."(2) The Mark of a great artist is selling their art without intention. Andrew displays great qualities of a good artist. The twenty old Andrew Clemons success as an artist did not guarantee his livelihood. Andrew rejected two offers one made by the Smithsonian Institution to train him as a teacher. The other offer was from deaf salesman selling door-to-door tried to encourage Andrew to sell door-to-door

I chose Anne Bonny for my portrait. My reasoning for this choice is because she seemed really interesting between her being Irish, well known, and tough. Female pirates are not talked about very often which made me even more interested in researching Anne. I chose to paint an ocean behind her to show that she was on a ship out at sea. I made her smile in the picture because pirates aren’t always serious! But seriously, pirates can be happy and have some fun every once in awhile, so why not?

Very little is known about Edward the Elder’s childhood. His exact birth is unknown, but some say it was around 871 A.D. in Wessex. He was the son of King Alfred the Great and Ealhswith of Mercia. He was educated at court and his father trained him to be a warrior. Edward the Elder was married 3 times and had fourteen children.

The pirate lifestyle was different. Pirates were better treated and had more freedoms and rights than normal sailors.The reason why I choose pirate lifestyle because they had many accurate facts about pirates in the movie such pirates drinking rum, stealing a boat, they were they dress and more. For example, Pirates only had rum to drink when they were on board because they did not have not enough water for the pirates on board. Rum was also easily obtained in the sugarcane rich Caribbean and olden day South Seas Pirates and that's what made rum the drink of choice which was all sown in movies when Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) was trying to escape from the ship of Black Pearl, they showed Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) drinking a bottle rum after capturing Elizabeth. The second reason why I say pirate lifestyle is accurate is that of stealing a ship. At the start of the movie when Jack Sparrow was to be hanged by the British

In A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Stephen Dedalus defines beauty and the artist's comprehension of his/her own art. Stephen uses his esthetic theory with theories borrowed from St. Thomas Aquinas and Plato. The discourse can be broken down into three main sections: 1) A definitions of beauty and art. 2) The apprehension and qualifications of beauty. 3) The artist's view of his/her own work. I will explain how the first two sections of his esthetic theory relate to Stephen. Furthermore, I will argue that in the last section, Joyce is speaking of Stephen Dedalus and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man as his art.
