  • Rembrandt: the Denial of Peter
    http://www.amatterofmind.us/ PIERRE BEAUDRY’S GALACTIC PARKING LOT REMBRANDT: THE DENIAL OF PETER How an artistic composition reveals the essence of an axiomatic moment of truth By Pierre Beaudry, 9/23/16 Figure 1 Rembrandt (1606-1669), The Denial of Peter, (1660) Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Page 1 of 14 http://www.amatterofmind.us/ PIERRE BEAUDRY’S GALACTIC PARKING LOT INTRODUCTION: A PRAYER ON CANVAS All four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have reported on the prediction that Jesus made during the Last Supper, stating that Peter would disown him three times before the night was over, and all four mentioned the event of that denial in one form or another. If ever there was a religious subject that was made popular for painters in the Netherlands during the first half of the seventeenth century, it was the denial of Peter. More than twenty European artists of that period, most of them were Dutch, chose to depict the famous biblical scene, but none of them touched on the subject in the profound axiomatic manner that Rembrandt did. Rembrandt chose to go against the public opinion view of Peter’s denial and addressed the fundamental issue of the axiomatic change that takes place in the mind of an individual at the moment when he is confronted with the truth of having to risk his own life for the benefit of another. This report has three sections: 1. THE STORY OF THE NIGHT WHEN PETER’S LIFE WAS CHANGED 2. THE TURBULENT SENSUAL NOISE BEHIND THE DIFFERENT POPULAR PAINTINGS OF PETER’S DENIAL 3.

This study focuses on cases where specific audiences and sites of display can be isolated. When portraits can be viewed in their original context, they speak not only to those elements intrinsic to the image such as symbolism or fashion, but also to issues extrinsic to the image: social practices, cultural ideals, and individual identities.

    Early Fall Tournament 2018: I guess Brexit really does mean Brexit ​ Edited by Tejas Raje, Billy Busse, Alex Damisch, Ike Jose, Dylan Minarik, Eric Mukherjee, Will Nediger, Jacob Reed, Ryan Rosenberg and Kenji Shimizu Written by Jordan Brownstein, Rob Carson, Joey Goldman, Auroni Gupta, Andrew Hart, Kady Hsu, Ryan Humphrey, Young Fenimore Lee, Ewan MacAulay, Benji Nguyen, Andrew Wang and Jason Zhou Tossups 1. Gregory Vlastos proposed that the creator of this technique believed that it was the only possible source of ​ truth. This process ends with the creation of a “pause” called an aporia, which is formed after this process is ​ ​ used to create an elenctic reflection. This method is often called maieutic, the Greek for “obstetric,” since its ​ ​ formulator compared its application to (*) midwifery in a work in which the creator of this technique uses it to ​ argue that knowledge is justified true belief. In this method, an interlocutor’s original premise is negated after a speaker, such as Gorgias or Meno, makes further concessions. For 10 points, name this method of reasoning pioneered by a speaker in many of Plato’s works. ANSWER: Socratic method ​ ​ <IJ, Philosophy> 2. Liscum and Briggs used the Arabidopsis strain JK224 to show that the NPH1 apoprotein reacts to this color ​ ​ ​ of light by inducing for an auto-phosphorylation reaction that is commonly seen in etiolated seedlings.

In the corner of a humble room sits a young woman who, with a smile spread across her slightly parted lips, gazes upward, her dark eyes fixated on a higher realm. Hendrick ter Brugghen framed the woman’s face with a high-necked vest and a cream-colored headscarf that falls in thick creases over her shoulders. A heavy blue mantle wrapped over her arms covers a red undergarment, the left sleeve of which is just visible. The large cross she holds on her lap, its left arm only partially seen behind her left shoulder, Fig 1.

  • Caravaggio in Rome: Part III from Santa Maria Del Popolo to Flight
    Caravaggio in Rome: Part III from Santa Maria del Popolo to Flight Even before the paint had dried on the final painting of the St Matthew Trilogy for the Contarelli Chapel in the Chiesa Luigi di Francesi, Caravaggio’s reputation had grown to the extent that he had become the most famous and sought after painter in Rome and as such attracted many new commissions. Around 1601-3 he was still in Cardinal del Monte’s household, but with the the approval of the Cardinal, also spent time in the Palazzo Mattei. He continued to arouse intense loyalty from rich and powerful would-be patrons, who never failed to support him when he was in trouble, which with his volatile personality, was an increasingly regular occurrence. The immense privileges offered by his patrons and protectors enraged his rivals and many years later, one of his biographers the painter Mancini, in his account, suggests both envy and malice in equal measure. The Santa Maria del Popolo, is one of three renowned churches that are situated around the Piazza del Popolo, one of most beautiful squares in Rome. Located just inside the Northern Gate, it was the first church, which pilgrims came upon on entering the city. Such now was Caravaggio’s status, that he was commissioned by Monsignor Tiberio Cerasi to paint two paintings for the Cerasi Chapel, designed by Carlo Madreno 1600-1; this much sought after commission was received even before Caravaggio had completed the St Matthew Trilogy in the Contarelli Chapel. At the time, Caravaggio had again descended into the Roman underworld of taverns, drinking, quarrelling and womanising, with his chums, Prospero Orsi and Orazio Gentileschi.
