Pierre Bonnard was born on October 3rd, 1867 at Fontenay-aux-Roses, a village outside Paris. He was the son of prominent official of the French Ministry of War. Due to his insitnace Bonnard studied law at Sorbonne from 1885 to 1888. During the year of 1887 Bonnard enrolled in evening classes at Académie Julian, which was an art school in Paris. While at the art school he and four of his friends joined together and formed group which was known as Les Nabis. They used this group to integrate art into daily life; they did this by combining nature with personal aesthetic and symbolism. They used posters, prints, book illustrations and paintings to show this. In 1981 Bonnard won his first competition which was making a poster for French champagne, also in 1891 Bonnard showed his work at an annual exhibit at the Society of Independent Artists. This is where he started to make his mark in the artist community. He didn’t become an established and successful artist until 1896; this is when he had his first solo art show.

Brunelleschi started out his skilled life as a goldsmith in San Giovanni. A career as a goldsmith was very popular at the time by other great artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Donatello. Being a goldsmith inspired Brunelleschi to create and sculpt things. When Brunelleschi was done mastering the skills of metal work, he began working on gears, and then on to clocks. Later he found out that all the traits he learned became very useful for his

Like many communities in Tennessee, Briceville's founding was tied to coal mining. Originally known as Slatestone Hollow, early miners used wagons to haul coal to Knoxville until the railroad connected Knoxville and Coal Creek. In 1888, Calvin Brice, who was then the president of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad and would later serve a single term in the U.S. Senate, requested the construction of a spur connecting Slatestone Hollow with Coal Creek. Upon completion of the spur, the community was renamed in Brice's honor. Although the population of Briceville has risen and fallen since the community's founding, residents have never been short of pests. Two common pests found in the area are bed bugs and fleas.

Louis Riel; one of the most important figures in Canada’s history. This interesting character was born in Winnipeg, the town of St. Boniface in the red river settlement.

One of which was Hans Memling and another Martin Schongauer. The unusual coloring was said in his best piece the same tone is not repeated in any other area of the canvas, including the whites. He had created new techniques for oil painting which had several different layers to present the idea of transparency and atmosphere. Causing the introduction of religious scenes and a taste for fine detail. Though he was an important artist in life and a century after, he was soon forgotten by the mid 18th century due to the change in artistic taste. He is now known as one of the three greatest Early Flemish artists, along with Robert Campin and van Eyck, and the most influential Northern painter of the 15th

His early paintings had an unconventional, unique, and unfinished look about them. The images were known to everyone in everyday life.

One prominent act of independence was shown by the protagonist, Peter Bruegel. Even when he was a youth in s’Hertogenbosch, Bruegel had aspirations to become an artist, but the Brothers at his school “frowned upon drawing” (162). This restricted him from expressing his creativity, because even in his childhood Bruegel was captivated by painting. Peter was not willing to submit to these unjust regulations and “covered one wall with...drawings” (162). Rather than yielding to the Brothers’ strict commands, he allowed himself the liberty of drawing. This act of independence led Peter to continue his career path of becoming an artist, and eventually he became one of the most renowned European artists.

Born Jeroen van Aken in what is now The Netherlands- Bosch lived in a historical period (1450-1516) full of paradoxes, contrasts, and contradictions (much like our own!). It was the world of the Golden Renaissance. Both his Father and Grandfather were painters by trade, and it was his Father who led him into his brotherhood with the Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady, a group of Christians dedicated to glorifying the Virgin Mary. He was a contemporary of that of the greatest genius of the 15th-Century Golden Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). Both understood that the Renaissance would be crushed, unless man were uplifted from his bestial condition, to become man in the image of God. Certainly, however, they relayed their

Some background information about the infamous painter Jan Brueghel is that he was born in 1568 in Brussels, Belgium. He was a painter of immense diversity. His art work includes biblical, mythological, battle scenes, seascapes, still lifes, portraits, and numerous landscapes.

Pieter Brueghel was a Netherland painter whose paintings focused on humans and nature. Many of his paintings were scenes of humans, generally peasants, living life, with back dropped by beautifully detailed landscapes. Pieter was not just an extremely talented artist; his perception of humans and their environment was an amazing contribution to all art, but especially landscape painting. His painting The Harvesters is an example of his supreme skill, and shows how much his work impacted landscapes. Four contributions that can be seen in this painting are:

The painting Wedding Dance was painted by the artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1566, the painting is arguably Brueghel's most famous painting. Located at, Museum Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), in Detroit, Michigan. It is still in good condition in the museum, it is Oil on canvas, 47 inches x 62 inches.

What draw my attention in the wedding the brides wore black which is unusual in our days, also, to the far right, there are two old women seated at a table. Nearby, there is a crown suspended in front of cloth, that’s where the bride should be sitting, but the picture show that she is dancing and having fun with everyone.

During the 17th century, especially after their break from Spain, The United Provinces of the Netherlands became the most prosperous nation in Europe by leading the world in trade, science, and art. Through the huge and one of the first art markets, art became a common household possession and allowed artists to freely express themselves, which is one of the evidential factors in three of the most universally admired artists of the baroque art era. Rubens, an influential Flemish artist of the Italian baroque scene, focused more on the works of the counter-reformation while the masters of the Dutch baroque art, such as Rembrandt, were in the heart of the protestant Dutch Republic. These three artists share similar artistic styles but yet have extremely evident differences and influences. The artists’ work also have a great portrayal of the historical and social impacts of the 17th century.
