Gun control can also reduce the numbers of suicides. In a country like Canada where there is gun control, it has been

Two time capsules were found during renovations of the Basilica of San Lorenzo, Florence. One time capsule dates back to the Renaissance time period. Artifacts in this time capsule included a painting of The Birth of Venus, a lute, drawing of the Florence Cathedral’s dome, and a book called The Decameron. The second time capsule had artifacts from the Baroque time period. Artifacts in this time capsule included a painting of The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, a stage painting in an opera

In the article “Conditions of Trade,” Michael Baxandall explains that fifteenth-century Italian art is a “deposit” resulting from the commercial interaction between the artist and the purchaser, who he refers to as a client. These works, as such, are “fossils of economic life,” and money, and they play an important role in the history of art. In our current perception of the relationship between the artist and art, “painters paint what they think is best, and then look around for a buyer” . However

Impact of Social Determinants in Addiction One topic in contemporary scholarly circles is that of addiction and drug usage (Wincup 2011: 1-2). However, when discussing addiction and its requirement for some to maintain their personal sense of well being, rarely are social factors involved in this discussion. In this response, I will argue that social determinants of health (SDOH) are a part of the process of shaping an individuals’ addictive behaviour. Furthermore, this will

Greek late classical period. This sculpture is a Roman copy of an original in Parian marble standing as a life size depiction of a nude goddess, which has seemingly never been done before (Kleiner 143). And secondly, the Birth of Venus (Figure 2), by Sandro Botticelli (1484-1486), was painted in the Early Italian Renaissance.

One of the hallmarks of the Renaissance is the artists it produced. The era of rebirth gave rise for new creation to flourish in a time where art was utmostly valued. Famous works of art such as The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper were engendered throughout the Renaissance. According to Giorgio Vasari, “Leonardo imagined and succeeded in expressing that anxiety which had seized the Apostles in wishing to know who should betray

painter of his generation because he could re-create like life figures and give people a sense of three-dimensional works. Sadly, he could’ve had much more to offer to Renaissance Italy, but died at the age of 26 of reasons still unknown today. 3) Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) was an excellent Italian painter during the Early Renaissance. He attended the Florentine School (under the patronage of Lorenzo de ’Medici) and would then go on and produce some of the most famous paintings during the Renaissance-

copies of his paintings had, in fact, only obscured and perverted the true meaning of his are and misled critics in interpreting his religious sentiment. It earned him the reputation of a bizarre visionary. The famous Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli had visualized the funnel-shaped hell in 1480~1490 according to Dante’s depiction of the Inferno in the Divina Commedia, yet in the following decade, Hieronymus Bosch rendered the foreign hermeneutic text in a different way by his brush

l’herbe” share the topic of female nudity. There is an immense difference to when these art pieces were created, yet they share the same topic. This topic was rather controversial in both time periods. “The Birth of Venus” was created in 1486 by Sandro Botticelli. It was painted to tell the story of the birth of Venus, as the title implies. This was a fairly new topic to paint about since most pieces were connected to Christianity. This piece was much about the Greek and Roman culture. It was painted

Scholasticism, which experienced its height around 1250, was the conjunction of faith and reason directed toward understanding the contradictions in the bible and Church teachings. The goal was to strengthen the Church’s teachings by validating them against argument and critical analysis (at least more critically than previously had been allowed with the sole goal of producing results positive toward the Church.) There were warnings made by Anselm of Canterbury that reason and religious studies don’t
