The country of Andorra, however, is also interesting. It is a tiny principality tucked away in winding valleys beneath towering 10,000- foot peaks of the eastern Pyrenees, sand­ wiched in between France and Spain and protected by both. It is the smallest country in the world, being only 18 miles long and 12 miles wide. Its beginning dates back to the 13th cen­ tury when the princes of France granted the people of the valleys the rights of a principality for their help in turning back the Moorish invaders who had con­ quered Spain. Andorra's status is guaranteed under a convention drawn up in 1278 under which both Spain and France are responsible for its safety. The country has no newspaper of its own, and no local news bulletins are permitted on its two radio stations; other countries' newspapers, however, are available. It is also most probably the only country in the world where no internal postage charges are required; if an Andorran at the Spanish end of the valley wants to send a letter to someone at the French end, he merely drops the letter in a post box and it is delivered free.

  • Michelangelo Biography
    Michelangelo Biography Michelangelo (1475 – 1564) Italian Renaissance sculptor, painter, poet and architect. One of the most influential Western artists of all time. “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. “ – Michelangelo Short biography of Michelangelo Michelangelo Buonarroti was born on 6 March 1475, in a Florentine village called Caprese. His father was a serving magistrate of the Florentine Republic and came from an important family. However, Michelangelo did not wish to imitate his father’s career, and was attracted by the artistic world. At the time, this was considered an inferior occupation for a family of his standing. But, aged 13, Michelangelo was apprenticed to Domenico Ghirlandaio, the leading fresco wall painter in Florence. Here Michelangelo learned some of the basic painting techniques, and also taught himself new skills such as sculpting. Madonna of the stairs – Michelangelo’s earliest works His talents were soon noticed by one of the most powerful families in Florence – Lorezo de’ Medici. Here, at de Medici’s court, Michelangelo was able to learn from the classic Masters and he became determined to improve upon the great classics of Greek and Latin art. Michelangelo, was born in the heart of the Renaissance movement, at exactly the right place – Florence. But, despite being at the heart of the Renaissance, Florence was undergoing tremendous political turmoil. His first patrons, the de Medici’s, lost power and Michelangelo was forced to look elsewhere for commissions. In 1496, he travelled to Rome where he began a long relationship of doing commissions for the Popes who were making St Peter’s Basilica a pinnacle of Western art.

Roten: Mary and the Way of Beauty MARY AND THE WAY OF BEAUTY johann G. Roten, S.M * The way of beauty (via pulchritudinis) is an expression coined by Paul VI on May 16, 1975.1 In his closing address to the participants of the Mario logical Congress held in Rome, he outlined a twofold approach to the figure and reality of Mary: there is first the way of the learned ones, mariologists and the­ ologians of various colors (couleurs), who reach out to Mary in biblical, historical, and theological speculation. They walk the way of truth (via veritatis). There exists a second way accessible to everybody, simple souls included, which Paul VI called the via pulchritudinis (way of beauty). Did Paul VI in­ tend with these distinctions some sort of programmatic decla­ ration, as commentators thought and still believe?2 This does not seem likely. The scope of the Pope's address was to high­ light the specific theme of the 1975 Roman Marian Congress, which dealt with the relationship between Mary and the Holy Spirit.

  • The Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2016: an Ineffective Remedy for Returning Nazi-Looted Art
    THE HOLOCAUST EXPROPRIATED ART RECOVERY ACT OF 2016: AN INEFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR RETURNING NAZI-LOOTED ART SOFFIA H. KUEHNER GRAY* During World War II, the Third Reich engineered the “greatest art theft in history,” stealing over 650,000 works of art from across Europe. Nearly a century later, many of these works are still missing or have yet to be reunited with their prewar owners. Despite substantial efforts to both facilitate and expedite the restitution process, it still remains relatively difficult for individuals to reclaim art stolen from their families by the Na- zis during the war. This Note first examines the processes through which countries—in particular, the United States—have handled art restitution. This Note then analyzes the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act (“HEAR”) and its potential effectiveness in providing a suitable remedy to the victims of the Nazi art theft. Ultimately, this Note suggests several modifications to HEAR so that it provides an effective remedy to the victims while still pro- tecting the interests of good-faith purchasers.
