Isabella Stewart Analysis

Historic treasures and artifacts are often donated to or purchased by other nations to place in their museums. Often museums are given the objects with full cooperation from the originating country, but sometimes they are stolen or given for protection such as in a time of war.

The centerpiece of the piece is obviously Mary, though she is on the right side of the painting.

In the early morning hours of March 18, 1990, a pair of thieves disguised as Boston police officers entered the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and roamed the Museum’s galleries, stealing thirteen works of art. The stolen works are valued at $500 million, which made the lottery the largest art theft in American history. There were 14 pieces of art that was stolen on the March 18, 1990. There is a reward of $5 million for information leading to the recovery of these works in good condition. No one has found out, it has been 25 years of theories as to what happened.

Queen Isabella was born in April 22, 1451 she was born in Mmadrigal de las Aaltas Ttorres, Sspain. In 1478, they established the spanish inquisitions as a royal council under royal control. In the 1492 the Inquisition persuaded the catholic kings to expel the jews whose conversion to christianity was doubtful. It was typical of Iisabella’s political vision that she agree to finance the expedition of Cchristopher Ccolumbus which brought the new world and wealth to Sspain. Her marriage to Fferdinand II of Aaragon began a thirty five year joint rule of a unified spain by the catholic monarchs. Ferdinand and Isabella succeeded as joint sovereigns to the throne of castile on the death of Isabella’s half brother henry IV in December of 1474. From

Many challenges faced in the first passage "Isabella Stewart Gardner Heist: 25 Years of Theories" came to a dead end. A stolen artifact, a painting, "Rembrandt's Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee" was on of the most sought-after stolen masterpieces in the world. Making the robbery the largest art theft in American history, mostly because 13 paintings were stolen. They were stolen in March 1990 from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, they haven't caught the thieves. It remains a cold case because the main detective that knew everything to the case is dead.

Michigan's right to work law that was passed a couple years back in 2012 caused controversies. 10 months after the law passed in Michigan Jon Stewart addressed this topic to America by using many different satirical devices to support his opinion without directly saying it. The right to work law is not there to help the everyday worker, but is there to help the larger corporations instead. Jon Stewart used mainly exaggeration, but also used caricature, incongruity, and parody to support that the right to work law is not there to help the everyday worker, but large corporations.

I want to talk about 2 kinds of her famous saying. First, she said “Adventure is worthwhile in itself.” After army, I have challenged dream of pilot that I give shape to my long-cherished dream since young. To be a pilot, it needs more effort and challenge. This time, while I write about Amelia Earhart I think that I try to effort for my dream. I respect her who make enormous world records by hard endeavors despite of they don’t have about perfect plane and system. After wards, I want to give hope to people like Amelia Earhart who gives hope to all over the world. Second, she said “You can do anything you decide to do.” She have to work for her living and family circumstances but, she never give up her dream and try to archive the dream. Through

At a first glance, one can tell the painting is about the Virgin Mary. She has long, wavy, hazelnut brown hair that reaches to her mid back. The focal point is the cloak draped over Virgin

The whole scene is shown in a dark place and there is light shown in the center of the painting. Jesus can be recognised from his halo and he is wearing white and blue clothes. On the top, angels are drawn in the form of smoke and they are shown coming from the heaven. A cat is looking into a basket and a person is giving something in a bowl to another person on the bottom of the painting.

The world of art is plagued by forgeries. In the case of some artists, such as Vermeer, there are often nearly as many fakes out there as there are genuine pieces. The infamous forger Han van Meegeren was known to have made at least 11 forged Vermeer’s that were accepted as genuine until his arrest in the 1940’s (Wynne, 257). Wolfgang Beltracchi made millions selling pieces that his wife claimed to have inherited from an uncle, telling brokers, art historians, and museums that the pieces were rare works, previously unseen. In actuality, Beltracchi was using modern techniques to make paintings in the style of 20th century masters (Birkenstock, Beltracchi). These are genuine criminals, no different than people who scam the elderly via email or

Of the many crimes that are present in this day and age, one that not only vandalizes the property, but as well as historical background is that of art theft. A crime that has taken away the sanctity of churches as well as many other religious and historical sites. Thefts have ranged from WWII (World War II) to the times of the Holocaust. Of the items that were taken from the churches, relics were items of great priority. These items not only had great value to the churches they were stolen from, but a great value to relic collectors. Most of the items taking during these times were either sold or placed in underground storage. Most of these items that were place in these secret places were never to be seen again. From the

Throughout history, art has caused wars and forged alliances. In modern times, cultural treasures are being sorted into place after much misplacement. Restitution/repatriation, the act of returning cultural treasures to their rightful owners or nation of origin, often ensues difficult legal decisions, but remains a moral necessity. This act of returning cultural treasures, grows more common due to the media’s interest or publicized legal battles. The movie “The Woman in Gold,” involving Gustav Klimt’s painting of Adele Bloch-Bauer, is an example of the influence it has on media.

    Some critics of Shakespeare’s play, Measure for Measure, judge Isabella as "a narrow minded but passionate girl afflicted with an irrational terror of sex" (Barton, 546), "a young, immature woman" demonstrating "moral absurdity and cruelty" (Nicholls, 478), whose actions are scarcely defensible. A classmate of mine asked, "Why doesn't Isabella just sleep with Angelo? What's the big deal?" These statements reveal that these people have no understanding or sympathy for Isabella’s position: socially, morally or physically.
