In 1764, two years after Catherine the Great on the throne, She brought out Gotzkowski’s collection of 225 paintings, mainly Dutch and Flemish paintings. Politically, Empress Catherine’s patronage would enhance her image of an enlightened monarch. The Gotzkowski’s collection makes up the core of the paintings in Hermitage. In general the Hermitage collection is quite representative of the development of European arts since the 17C. After Catherine the Great, successive monarchs had added to the collection. It is really surprising to find large number of Impressionists paintings and modern paintings in the collection.

“Goya was an innovative painter and etcher and one of the great masters of Spanish painting. Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes was born near Saragossa in Aragon on 30 March 1746. His father was a painter. Goya's formal artistic education began at the age of 14 when he was apprenticed to a local painter. In 1763 Goya went to Madrid and worked under another artist from Aragon, Francisco Bayeu, whose sister he married.
In 1771, Goya visited Italy. By 1775, he had settled in Madrid and was designing for the Royal Tapestry Factory. In 1786, he was appointed court painter to Charles IV.
In the winter of 1792, Goya became seriously ill and was left totally deaf. This was a turning point in his career. His paintings were transformed from his previous Rococo style to a more expressionistic vision and he chose increasingly dark subject matters.
During the brutal Napoleonic occupation of Spain, Goya saw at first hand the horrors of warfare. These inspired a series of etchings 'The Disasters of War' and two paintings '2 May 1808' and '3 May 1808'.
In around 1820, Goya began a series of frescoes on the walls of his country house near Madrid, which became known as the 'Black Paintings'.
In 1824, political upheavals in Spain forced Goya to go into exile in France. He returned to Madrid for a brief visit in 1826, but died in Bordeaux on 16 April 1828.” BBC History

The iconography of 'Madonna and Child' and 'Venus and Cupid' in the most repr...PasqualeRaimo
Questo ciclo di lezioni in lingua inglese, prende il titolo “Un viaggio nell’arte tra l’amore sacro e profano”. In pratica viene messo a confronto il tema iconografico della Madonna con il Bambino e quello di Venere con Cupido attraverso le opere d’arte più rappresentative esposte in quattro tra i più rappresentativi musei d’Europa: The State Hermitage Museum di SanPietroburgo, il Victoria and Albert Museum di Londra, il Museo di Capodimonte di Napoli e il Museo del Prado di Madrid.
Prima di passare alla visione le singole opere d’arte, il progetto prevede un conciso cenno storico circa l’origine e la struttura dei suddetti musei. Le opere che saranno analizzate sono soprattutto dipinti, oscillanti cronologicamente tra l’XI e il XIX secolo, ma non mancherà la descrizione anche di oggetti d’arte di diversa tipologia (sculture, bronzi, arti applicate, etc.). Per ogni opera esaminata, prima della sua descrizione si procederà con una breve introduzione biografica dell’autore.
City and Spectacle: A Vision of Pre-Earthquake Lisbon (Presentation for VSMM ...Gwyneth Llewelyn
This presentation shows the current status of the "City and Spectacle" project, to be presented at the VSMM 2009 — 15th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia in Vienna, Austria (http://www.vsmm2009.org/). Changes include the "Patriarcal" church and piazza, new detail on the Opera House façades, a remodelation of Rua da Capela, new Palace Gardens, and a redesign of the Canevari Clock Tower. The video of the 3D models actually comes from OpenSimulator 0.6.6 and is very rude and amateurish. However, the superior capabilities of the modern Second Life viewers show how delightfully realistic the buildings can look like, thanks to the new lighting model that includes shadows.

Although the museum is one of the youngest in the United States, it is fairly large and comprehensive museum, a significant representation of European art, ranging from antiquity to the present day. The museum was inaugurated only in 1965. However, a large part of the collection came from the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art, which was established a century earlier. The museum is also known for its Modern art items as well.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
