people. The reason I choose these artworks because they are related with occupations of everyday life. Also they are related with realism. Bad time comes on everybody, and both artists have been involved in the controversy about their art works. Jean-François Millet was accused of being a political trouble maker artist. His painting like Man with a Hoe caused a controversy in the 1860s. The standing man’s expressions in the picture were translated as a communist protest. There was some negative reviews

The Rosetta Stone was a very important part of history. Today we might never know what the Egyptian ancient writings of the priest say if it were not for the stone. The Rosetta Stone has broadened people’s languages and helped people to communicate with Egyptians and Greeks. The Rosetta Stone is a stone with writing on it in 2 different languages Greek and Egyptian. The Rosetta Stone uses 3 types of scripts demotic, Greek, and Hieroglyphic. The Rosetta stone lists all the good things that the pharaohs

The painting Good Crop was done by Clarence Holbrook Carter in 1942. He used an oil based medium on a canvas that was forty-eight inches by twenty-eight inches. This painting is from the era of war and rationed goods. The idea for this painting originated from his neighbor Jim Jennings, a farmer from down the road. He made the painting from just one basket of potatoes. Most of Carters painting were based off of memories from his childhood. While looking at Good Crop, your eyes are drawn

Egypt and they believed that The Rosetta Stone would be the code to deciphering Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. However, when the French were beaten by British military forces, they were forced to give up many Egyptian artifacts including the stone. François Champollion was the first to finally decode the hieroglyphic inscriptions Rosetta Stone, and this led to a greater understanding of ancient Egyptian society and culture.

Jean-Francois Millet’s Potato Planters is a portrayal of two farmers; more likely husband and wife, planting seeding to grow potatoes during the day on their farm. This art has a lot of emphasis, movement, color, line, light, and depth. The emphasis behind this piece of artwork is the farmer and his wife planting the potato seeds. Farmers had to grow everything that they needed to survive. People don’t have to grow what they eat and need to survive like people many years ago needed. The purpose

I think that the author of this story, Cross Giblin, was very effective in explaining details in the sequence of translating the Rosetta stone. In chapter one of the story he uses dates to tell the beginning of the story. For example "near the entrance to the long, high-ceilinged room stand twomagnificent granite statues of Pharaoh Amenophis III, who ruled Egypt about 1400 B.C. Farther on is a colossal head of Pharaoh Ramesses II dating back to 1250 B.C. And beyond it, resting on a simple base, is

The name of this painting is The Gleaners. Gleaners are a group of poor lower class people who found work from landowners after the French revolution. Created by Jean-Francois Millet in 1857, the painting depicts the harsh life of the extremely poor. There is realism in this painting because it tells history as it is and doesn't try to passively project an image. In the painting there are three peasant women harvesting grains in the field, fully clothed, carrying the heavy weight of the grains across

The Rosetta Stone has a long and complex history. The knowledge inscribed on the stone itself offers a glimpse of life in Egypt under the Pharaoh Ptolemy V. Though Egypt had lost part of its former identity as a power, and instead acted as a Roman client state, Egypt still acted as its own separate entity. The Rosetta Stone offers a major look into Egypt as a center of trade, religion and culture. The Rosetta Stone not only stands as a testament to the relationship between Egypt and its people

Throughout the history of man, human beings impose form and order on all aspects of life in order to reassure themselves there is a grand design behind life’s seeming uncertainty. Evidence of this desire are social constructions such as religion and time. However, the strong need to understand the word through concrete systems is also seen in smaller details of daily life, such as fiction novels. The average person enjoys realistic fiction, or fiction that mirrors what one perceives as the “the human

After the events of WWII, to say that America had changed drastically was an understatement; with the entirety of the Cold War, the Korean and Vietnam wars, and all the other political strife at home and abroad, America during this time could be considered an era of conflicting ideals. As a result of this change of times, literature changed it’s perspective; effectively, the transition from modernist ideals to postmodernist ideals. Much like modernism, however, post-modernism offered to reject ideals
