...For 12 years, he worked on and off on a clay sculture to honor Francesco Sforza, the founder of the clan. The sculpture was later destroyed in 1499 after the Sforza fell from power. From 1495 to 1498, da Vinci first painted The Last Supper in Milan. It was a tempera and oil paint mural that was on plaster. The Last Supper was originally created for the city’s Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The painting measures about 15 by 29 feet and is the sole survivor of da Vinci’s fresco artwork. It represents the Passover dinner in the Bible in which Jesus Christ says to the Apostles, “One of you shall betray me.” Jesus is the center of the painting.

...I will be talking about sculptures of the Gupta period and my focus will be in the northern and central sites. The main sites that I will be talking about are Udayagiri, Mathura, Sanchi and Sarnath. What i’ll be trying to show through my presentation is the kind of transition that took place from the Kushana style to what is referred to by some historians as the Gupta style. Whether there is something called “Gupta style” is a matter of debate among historians. Some are of the view that dynastic labels should not be used. However, art historians like Harle say that in some cases, Gupta period. HINDU ART When it comes to Hindu art, Vidisha and Udayagiri were important art centres. Art seemed to have flourished in Vidisha during the reign of Ramagupta and Chandragupta II. The caves of Udayagiri constitute the earliest body of Hindu art in India. We can be sure about the dates for these caves because there is an inscription on the facade that refers to Chandragupta II and the year 82, which is corresponding to CE 401. The doorway of Cave 6 is decorated with jambs (vertical portion of the frame onto which a door is secured), lintels (load-bearing buiding component, a decorative architectural element), half-length pilasters (gives the appearance of supporting column, only ornamental fashion) and representations of 2 goddesses standing on makaras. In this case, the vahanas of both the goddesses are the same. The distinctiveness of the goddesses is apparent by the use of trees above...

...Unlike his first David, his second one was done in bronze later in his career from 1430 to 1440. Scholars believe that the only other David sculture that can be compared to Donatello’s was done by Michelangelo ( shown in IMAGE 2) . Actually, these two artist together were considered the greatest florentine sculptors of all times. In fact, Michelangello’s work is highly influenced by Donatello’s which he admired greatly. As an artist, he closely studied human anatomy; he would in some cases disect corpses in order to learn more about the structures of muscles and bones*. Michelangelo’s David was also revolutionary for its time. In his case it was the colossal size of his David that struck the public the most. It was the first time that a large scaled nude statue was made since Antiquity. IMAGE 1 ...

INTRODUÇÃO Para o estudioso das origens do Cristianismo naturalmente não há período na história ocidental de maior interesse e importância do que o primeiro século de nossa era; e mesmo assim quão comparativamente pouco é conhecido sobre ele de natureza realmente definida e confiável. Se já é tão lamentável que nenhum escritor não-Cristão do primeiro século tenha tido intuição suficiente do futuro para registrar sequer uma só linha de informação referente ao nascimento e crescimento do que viria a ser a religião do mundo ocidental, igualmente desapontador é encontrar tão pouca informação definida sobre as condições sociais e religiosas gerais da época. Os governantes e as guerras do Império parecem ter constituído o interesse principal dos historiógrafos do século seguinte, e mesmo neste departamento de história política, ainda...
