The Renaissance architecture style originated in 15th century Italy and was inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture. It emphasized symmetry, proportion, geometry and classical orders. Early architects like Brunelleschi and Alberti helped establish Renaissance styles which emphasized order and classical details. During the High Renaissance, architects like Bramante and Raphael further developed classical concepts. Mannerism introduced more imaginative rhythms as the Renaissance ideal of harmony gave way. The Renaissance style then spread across Europe in the 16th century as other regions gained economic and political power.

The document discusses the construction of the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, including details about its unique structural design featuring a V-shaped steel and concrete frame to support the building on piles driven 130 feet into sand. A joint venture between three construction companies used innovative construction technologies like jump forms to complete the project in two phases, first focusing on planning and then executing the actual building work. The complex engineering behind the Burj Al Arab allowed it to withstand strong winds and seismic activity as the world's tallest hotel built on an artificial island offshore.
Romanesque architecture developed between 1000-1150 AD and was inspired by Roman architecture. It used round arches, stone construction, and a basilica-style plan. Influences also came from other cultures. Romanesque architecture was characterized by thick walls, small windows, barrel or groin vaults, and decorative blind arches. It included churches with a nave, aisles, transept, and apse, as well as monasteries and castles. Stone, brick, and limestone were common building materials, with columns constructed of salvaged pieces or built up from stone drums.

The construction sector is an important part of the Indian economy, contributing 10% to GDP. The Indian brick industry is the second largest producer of bricks in the world after China, producing 140 billion bricks annually using traditional methods. Interlocking bricks were pioneered in the early 1900s and have since been used in construction in Africa, Canada, the Middle East, and India as they are energy efficient, use local materials, maximize unskilled labor, and reduce construction costs. Examples of structures built with interlocking bricks without mortar include Machu Picchu, Pumapunku temple in Bolivia, and Umaid Bhawan Palace in India.

Intravenous fluid therapy is essential for maintaining normal body functioning and hydration. There are three main types of intravenous fluids - colloids, crystalloids, and blood products. Crystalloids include isotonic fluids like 0.9% sodium chloride and lactated Ringer's solution, hypotonic fluids, and hypertonic fluids. Isotonic fluids maintain intravascular volume while hypotonic and hypertonic fluids shift fluid between intravascular and intracellular spaces. Close monitoring is needed with intravenous fluid therapy to avoid complications of overhydration or dehydration.

Jan van Eyck was one of the greatest revolutionaries in art. He radically changed the way in which men look at the natural world. His artistic achievements were well-known in Renaissance Italy. Vasari, who wrote about Van Eyck a hundred years later, wrongly attributed the discovery of oil painting to him. Only a few years after his death in 1441, Jan van Eyck was being hailed on both sides of the Alps as one of the greatest painter of the age.
Despite Van Eyck’s great fame, little is known of his life except for his last years. For the last 16 years of his life, he worked at the court of Philip the Good, The Duke of Burgundy. The Duke made use of his skills as both painter and diplomat, sending him on numerous secret missions.
The works of Jan van Eyck are celebrated for their visual splendor and precision of detail. Their brilliant colours and magnificent definition are due to Jan’s refinement of the oil-painting technique.
Art1204 the noble stillness baroque still-life paintingProfWillAdams
Baroque still life paintings were popular in 17th-18th century Netherlands and Flanders. They often depicted fruit, flowers, game, or other objects and used techniques like chiaroscuro. Symbolism was important - fruit represented abundance while dead animals reminded viewers of mortality. Dutch masters like Willem van Aelst and Jan Davidsz de Heem were known for their realistic, detailed still lifes and use of light/shadow effects. Later, vanitas still lifes directly addressed themes of death and impermanence through skulls and objects representing the five senses. Students are assigned to create their own symbolic vanitas composition.
National Gallery, London - Selected MasterpeicesJerry Daperro
The National Gallery of London is one of the top art gallery for European paintings in the world. Its collection covers all the major developments in European painting from its beginning all the way to the 19C. It also includes paintings from all the major European masters in its collection, from Van Eyck. Leonardo to the Impressionists. There are very few paintings available by the leading Italian and the Low Countries in the world. With the Louvre and the Uffizi of Florence, the National Gallery of London is in the first rank of European gallery. A visit to the National Gallery in London for an afternoon will give you good feel of what European painting is about.
Founded in 1824, the National Gallery is one of the youngest painting galleries of Europe. Unlike most other great European galleries, the core of the collection was not a royal or princely collections taken over by the state. The English Royal collection remains as a separate entity, although many of the royal paintings are on display in the National Gallery on loan. Its collection is renowned for what is probably the most balanced collection of painting in the world. Today the collection has only about two thousand paintings, less than half the number in the Louvre and about two third of the Hermitage collection in St Petersburg.
As the collection belongs to the nation, it is FREE to visit the National Gallery, London. It is opened to the general public and to all overseas visitors as well. It is a shrine for the achievement of humanity, a truly deserve the title a gallery for the world. In this slideshow I have selected six paintings by the best historical masterpieces from its collections. I would like to dedicate this presentation to anyone who help to make the entrance to the gallery free. It is not only a celebration of human achievement it also inclusive all men and enhance the enjoyment of the visit.
The Noble Stillness: Baroque Still-Life PaintingProfWillAdams
The document provides background information on Baroque still life paintings. It discusses that Baroque works were produced in the 17th-18th centuries and originated in Italy. Still life paintings were popular in Dutch society and often had symbolic meanings teaching moral lessons. Characteristics of Baroque still life included use of chiaroscuro, extreme detail, and dynamic lighting. Common subjects were hunting scenes, fruit, and compositions representing the five senses. Later vanitas still life was meant to remind viewers of the fleeting nature of life and inevitability of death.

The artworks in the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria are displayed on the upper floors of the Palazzo dei Priori, Perugia, Italy.
Its collection is one of the most exhaustive and complete in the Region for the multiplicity and variety of its are works, which cover a period from the 13C to the 19C. Some of the artists included are Master of San Francesco, Armolfo di Cambio, Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, Duccio di Buoninsegna, Gentile de Fabriano, Fra’ Angelico, Benozzo Gozzoli, piero della Francesca, Agostino de Duccio and Grancesco di Giogio Martini. In addition, there are many works by Perugino, Pintoricchio, Orazio Gentileschi, Pietro da Cortona, Valentin de Boulogne, Sebastiano Conca, Pierre Subleyras and Jean Baptiste Wicar. Many of the paintings were by artists were born in the city of Perugia.
The collection primarily is primarily makes up of religious paintings on the running up, during and after the Age of Renaissance. The majority of the works stilted toward the Renaissance from the end of 13C though to the early 15C. Many of these exhibits are diptychs, triptychs or polyptychs. These are the kind of paintings that the ordinary Italian of the time were likely to encountered, in their daily life.
Elizabeth Joscelin was the owner of Moynes Hall in Holywell, Huntingdonshire in the early 1600s. She wrote a book titled "The Mothers Legacy, to her Vnborn Childe" providing guidance for her unborn child. The book is held at the British Library and contains 86 pages of alterations and corrections in Elizabeth's handwriting. It offers advice on prayer, virtues and vices, education, and humility. Though intended privately, it was published in 1624 and several later editions. Elizabeth died shortly after giving birth to a daughter, Theodora, but her legacy of maternal advice lived on through the published editions of her book.
The document provides an in-depth analysis of two early Renaissance artworks from the Netherlands: Jan van Eyck's The Ghent Altarpiece and Robert Campin's The Annunciation. It discusses how these works incorporated everyday settings and objects to make Christian stories more relatable to viewers. Both paintings placed religious figures in domestic Flemish settings rather than historical locations, reflecting the Devotio Moderna movement. The document also provides significant details on the symbolism, composition, and artistic techniques used in The Ghent Altarpiece.
The document discusses the emergence of secular portraiture as a popular genre in 15th century Netherlands and Italy. During the Renaissance, wealthy patrons commissioned portraits to commemorate their accomplishments and express pride and self-worth, as individuals were not considered important enough to be depicted in art during the Middle Ages. Typical characteristics of Flemish portraits included realistic details of clothing and settings to convey wealth, as well as solemn expressions that communicated seriousness and piety. Jan van Eyck was renowned for his innovative portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his wife, which included symbolic details and innovative use of perspective that created an impressively convincing sense of space.
Hum1020 1030 baroque still life paintingProfWillAdams
The document provides background information on Baroque still life paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries. It describes key characteristics of Baroque style including chiaroscuro lighting effects and extreme detail. Popular subjects of Baroque still life included hunting scenes, fruit, and vanitas works symbolizing the transience of life. Composition was important, with the eye led along triangular paths between objects. Symbolic meanings often taught moral lessons. Famous artists like Caravaggio and de Heem expertly captured textures, mood, and symbolism in their still life works.
This document provides an overview of art in 14th century Europe, with a focus on Italy. It discusses the transition from Medieval to Renaissance styles, with artists gaining more individual recognition. Architecture flourished in Italy, as seen in cathedrals like Florence Cathedral with its dome designed by Brunelleschi. Painting advanced as well, with Giotto introducing more realistic, three-dimensional figures and masterworks like the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes. Sienese painters like Duccio and Simone Martini also contributed with their more decorative styles. Overall, the document outlines the major artistic developments and works in Italy during this transitional period between eras.
The document discusses fresco painting and provides examples of famous frescoes. It describes fresco as a technique of painting water-based pigments onto wet plaster, allowing the colors to soak into the plaster. Examples mentioned include Jacob Lawrence's piece telling the story of African Americans migrating North, and Raphael's frescoes in the Stanza della Segnatura capturing the Renaissance period. The document also discusses Diego Rivera's fresco Liberation of the Peon depicting a brutalized body surrounded by men providing aid, and Michelangelo's famous frescoes on the Sistine Chapel ceiling including The Creation of Adam.
1. The document discusses whether there are common backgrounds that all humanity draws reference from, such as shared emotions, historical biases against figures like Hitler, experiences of pain and oppression, and exposure to certain ideas.
2. Barriers that prevent humanity from relating to each other, like race, class, religion, and differences of political opinion, are also mentioned.
3. The concept of a shared "human culture" is debated, with suggestions including the emotions we all feel like pain and happiness, the seven deadly sins, and our need to interact and create things.
Baroque sculpture had several key characteristics including naturalism, expressiveness, theatricality, and multiple points of view. Notable Baroque sculptors mentioned include Francisco Salzillo from Spain known for religious works, Alessandro Algardi from Italy who rivaled Bernini and focused on realism, Gian Lorenzo Bernini the dominant artist in Rome, François Girardon from France who created monumental sculptures, and Andreas Schlüter from Germany influenced by Bernini and Michelangelo. Their works depicted religious, mythological and allegorical themes in materials like stone, marble and bronze.
Italy shouldn't get all the credit.. Van Eyck figured out how to do oil painting (or at least perfect it) and realism started here in Flanders.

LET’S DESCRIBE THE PAINTING!
What do you see in the picture?
23. SOME INFORMAATION ABOUT THE PAINTING
THE MARRIAGE OF
GIOVANNI ARNOLFINI
AND GIOVANNA CENAMI
• Why this title?
• Because it was thought to be
a form of ``wedding
certificate'' for Giovanni
Arnolfini and Giovanna
Cenami, who married in
Bruges in 1434.
• They are portrayed in the
bedchamber of the home where
they will live in Bruges,
Flanders.
24. What does the placement of the two figures suggest?
• It suggests conventional 15th century
views of marriage and gender roles:
• the woman stands near the bed and
well into the room, symbolic of her role
as the caretaker of the house,
• whereas Giovanni stands near the open
window, symbolic of his role in the
outside world.
• Giovanni looks directly out at the
viewer, his wife looks obediently at her
husband. She does not look down at the
floor, like lower class women would do,
suggesting her equality to her husband.
25. Giovanna: the bride
• Her name: Giovanna
• Her surname: Cenami
• Giovanna’s father: a rich
Italian merchant
• Her mother: a French lady
• Hometown: Paris
26. Giovanni: the groom
• Name: Giavanni
• Surname: Arnolfini
• Job: rich and powerful
Italian merchant who settled
in Flanders.
• His RIGHT hand is vertically
raised, representing his
commanding position of
authority.
27. Objects in the painting
• The clogs
• The convex mirror
• The breed dog
• The medallions around the mirror’s frame
• The rosary
• The seven branched chandelier
• The oranges
28. Objects in the painting
• The clogs = gli zoccoli
• The convex mirror = lo specchio convesso
• A breed dog = un cane di razza
• The medallions around the mirror’s frame =
I medaglioni attorno alla cornice dello specchio
• The brush = la scopina
• The rosary = il rosario
• The seven branched chandelier =
Il candeliere a sette bracci
• The oranges
30. Mirror on the back wall
Inscription, the rosary and the brush
• The mirror is painted with
great skill. In the frame there
are ten miniature medallions
depicting scenes from the life
of Christ. Yet more
remarkable is the mirror's
reflection, which includes van
Eyck's own tiny self-portrait,
accompanied by another man,
maybe the official witness to
the ceremony.
31. Almost every detail can be interpreted as a symbol…
Jan Van Eyck added the
little dog when he had
already finished the
painting.
Notice that
the dog is placed
at Giovanna's feet.
A common name
given to a dog
is "Fido",
based on
the Latin root fid, meaning
"fidelity"
or "faith."
1) The dog
33. … with the candle
• The chandelier only has one
candle, burning even in
bright daylight. In 15th
century Christian marriage
ceremonies, a single
"marriage candle" was
carried in the bridal
procession and then placed
in the couple's nuptial
chamber. The candle may
also be a religious symbol,
representing the all-seeing
eye of God.
34. 3) The fruit
• The fruit on the window
ledge (an apple) stand
for our fall from
Paradise.
• The oranges on the
table probably stand for
fertility, or they might
suggest the wealth of
the couple.
35. 4) The clogs
• The clogs probably
signify the sanctity
of marriage.
36. SIGNS OF WEALTH
The interior is richly decorated.
• Look at the chandelier, the
mirror, the bed-hangings, the
carvings on the chair and the
bench against the back wall.
• Another sign of wealth is the
small Oriental carpet on the
floor by the bed.
• Observe GIOVANNA’s hand. It’s
in a low, horizontal pose which
means submission.
37. The bed
• The Arnolfini Wedding
is believed to be the
first painting of a civil
wedding ceremony.
The wedding does not
take place in the
church, but in a
chamber of a home.
The bed is behind
Giovanna and is richly
draped in red cloth.
38. SIGNATURE AND DATE
• The painting is
also signed and
dated on the wall
above the mirror:
"Johannes de eyck
fuit hic. 1434"
• ("Jan van Eyck was
here. 1434").
Editor's Notes
Jan Van Eyck (YAHN van IKE) was born in the Netherlands. The exact year of his birth isn't known, but it was somewhere around 1390. His paintings are very detailed. Most artists of the time painted with tempera, a mixture of colored powder and egg yolk plus some other substance. Tempera dried quickly and the artist had to work fast. When it dried it had a dull finish and if a sheen was desired, a glaze had to be applied. Van Eyck was not the first to use oil paint, but he mastered the use of oil in paints. He was able to get stunning results. He used walnut oil and other oils to make the paints and let each thin coat of paint dry before applying another coat of paint over it, giving the painting a three-dimensional appearance. The colors in his paintings are delicate and have a beautiful shine. He was called "The King of Painters" by people even hundreds of years after his time.

The way the women wore their dresses gathered up in front made them look pregnant whether they were or not. Some historian think that this painting is an actual wedding portrait and that the figures in the mirror might be witnesses. Others say the couple was only engaged and one source will tell you his marriage was recorded in 1447 and the picture was painted in 1434. So, who was that woman
The couple are shown in an upstairs room with a chest and a bed in it in early summer as indicated by the cherry tree outsidethe window.
Although many viewers assume the wife to be pregnant, this is not believed to be so. Art historians point to numerous paintings of female virgin saints similarly dressed, and believe that this look was fashionable for women's dresses at the time.[18] Fashion would have been important to Arnolfini, especially since he was a cloth merchant. The more cloth a person wore, the more wealthy he or she was assumed to be. Another indication that the woman is not pregnant is that Giovanna Cenami (the identification of the woman according to most earlier scholars) died childless,[19] as did Costanza Trenta (a possible identification according to recent archival evidence);[20] whether a hypothetical unsuccessful pregnancy would have been left recorded in a portrait is questionable. As mentioned above, some viewers have argued that the woman in the portrait is already pregnant, thus the protruding belly. Harbison, however, maintains her gesture is merely an indication of the extreme desire of the couple shown for fertility and progeny.[21] cherry tree outside the window. The room probably functioned as a reception room, as it was the fashion in France and Burgundy where beds in reception rooms were used seating, except, for example, when a mother with a new baby received visitors. The window has six interior wooden shutters, but only the top opening has glass, with clear bulls-eye pieces set in blue, red and green stained glass.
The two figures are very richly dressed; despite the season both their outer garments, his tabard and her dress, are trimmed and fully lined with fur.
Although the woman's plain gold necklace and the plain rings both wear are the only jewellery visible, both outfits would have been enormously expensive, and appreciated as such by a contemporary viewer. But especially in the case of the man, there may be an element of restraint in their clothes befitting their merchant status - portraits of aristocrats tend to show gold chains and more decorated cloth.
The Arnolfini Marriage, is a record of the marriage of the two people in the picture. In modern days, a couple would hire a photographer to record their wedding. Giovanni Arnolfini hired an artist to paint the picture. In addition to being a portrait, it is also a legal record showing that the marriage took place. The artist signs it as a legal document.
Green is life. Abundant in nature, green signifies growth, renewal, health, and environment. On the flip side, green is jealousy or envy (green-eyed monster) and inexperience.
Green with blue produces echoes of nature - water and forest and can denote new beginnings and growth.
ellow is sunshine. It is a warm color that, like red, has conflicting symbolism. On the one hand it denotes happiness and joy but on the other hand yellow is the color of cowardice .
Red is for onflicting emotions from passionate love to violence and warfare. Red is Cupid and the Devil.
Giovanna's heavy robe gives her contour a swollen appearance. Van Eyck is following a convention in late Gothic art of exaggerating in female figures the child-bearing part of the body, even if they were not pregnant.
In real life, Giovanni and Giovanna had no children.
Notice her expression, pose, dress, and contour. Her hand is extended to Giovanni as the marriage is taking place.

The mirror literally reflects Van Eyck's great skill as a painter. He accurately recreates the wedding scene, distorting the figures and forms as they would appear on a curved surface.The frame is inset with ten religious medallions that depict the life of Christ, painted in an earlier Gothic style. Within the surface of the mirror, Van Eyck paints the chamber from the reverse and shows the viewer more than the painting itself. Everything in the room is reflected, with the exception of the dog, but notice the two figures between Giovanni and Giovanna.
Oranges and lemons were very expensive because they had to be imported from Spain. There are four oranges in the picture suggesting the wealth of the couple.
he cherries on the tree outside the window may symbolize love. The oranges which lie on the window sill and chest may symbolize the purity and innocence that reigned in the Garden of Eden before the Fall of Man.[23] They were uncommon and a sign of wealth in the Netherlands, but in Italy were a symbol of fecundity in marriage.[24] The fruit could more simply be a sign of the couple’s wealth since fruit was very expensive during this time.[2
Further signs of luxury are the elaborate bed-hangings, and the carvings on the chair and bench against the back wall (to the right, partly hidden by the bed). Another sign of wealth is the small Oriental carpet on the floor by the bed; many owners of such expensive objects placed them on tables, as they still do in the Netherland
