  • Pope Innocent XI (1611-1689) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Pope Innocent XI (1611-1689) [1] By: Brind'Amour, Katherine Garcia, Benjamin Keywords: Catholicism [2] Popes [3] Abortion [4] Fetus [5] Pope Innocent XI [6], born Benedetto Odescalchi, made considerable contributions to the Roman Catholic approach to embryology [7] by condemning several propositions on liberal moral theology in 1679, including two related to abortion [8] and ensoulment [9]. His rejection of these principles strengthened the Church’s stance against abortion [8] and for the idea of “hominization,” meaning the presence of human qualities before birth. He was born 19 May in 1611 in Como, Italy, and began his studies under the Jesuits at Como before studying jurisprudence at both Naples and Rome. Pope Urban VIII named him prothonotary, president of the Apostolic Camera, commissary at Ancona, administrator of Macerata, and governor of Picena in succession. Shortly thereafter he was appointed cardinal-deacon of Santi Cosma e Damiano in 1645 before being named cardinal-priest of Sant’ Onofrio by Pope Innocent X. During his time as cardinal, Odescalchi was beloved by his people for his love, charity, and devotion to his position. He spent the majority of his time and effort trying to preserve the purity of faith and the morals that governed this purity. This effort to maintain traditionalism and wholesomeness resulted in regulating the dress of Roman women, suppressing the gambling houses, and encouraging receiving daily Communion. Odescalchi was actually introduced to the famine-stricken people of Ferrara as “Mittimus patrem pauperum,” meaning “father of the poor” because of his characteristic attention to their needs.

Alphonsus Ihuoma ________________________________ Professor Raj Bhala (Chairperson) Date approved: May 15, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Man, as a person, is superior to the state, and consequently the good of the person transcends the good of the state. The philosopher Jacques Maritain developed his political philosophy thoroughly informed by his deep Catholic faith. His philosophy places the human person at the center of every action. In developing his political thought, he enumerates two principal tasks of the state as (1) to establish and preserve order, and as such, guarantee justice, and (2) to promote the common good. The state has such duties to the people because it receives its authority from the people. The people possess natural, God-given right of self-government, the exercise of which they voluntarily invest in the state.

The exceptionally long fapde is organised into a symmetrical sequence of bays with a projecting central section and is buttressed, at the North end, by a distinct fapde with a large serliana win, dow (an arch with crabeaced sides). The exterior boasts a profusion of ornament that enlivens the surface and punctuates the horizontality of the building. Through sheer scale and abundance of form, the Palazzo Pamphilj bespeaks grandeur and authority. Architecture serves the rhetorical functions of communication and persuasion. In the early modem period (ca. 1500-1800), palaces in particular became synonymous with the statm of their owners. Today, the Palazzo Pamphilj houses the Embassy of Brazil in Rome, but until the government ofBrazil purchased the palace in 1960, it had belonged to the Pamphilj family.

  • FRANCIS BACON Nn Francis Bacon
    FRANCIS BACON n Francis Bacon 1. INTRODUCTION | Read this short presentation about Francis Bacon and summarize the main facts about his life and works. rancis Bacon (Dublin 1909 – Madrid 1992) produced some Fof the most iconic images of wounded and traumatized humanity in post-war art. Borrowing inspiration from Surrealism, film, photography, and Francis Bacon in his study the Old Masters, he forged a distinctive style that made him one of the most widely in the early recognized exponents of figurative art in the 1940s and 1950s. Bacon concentrated 1960s. his energies on portraiture, often depicting friends or habitués of the bars and clubs of London’s Soho neighborhood. But his subjects were always violently distorted, presented not as sociable and charismatic types but as isolated souls imprisoned and tormented by existential dilemmas. He often said in interviews that he saw images “in series”, and his artistic output typically focused on a single subject or format for sustained periods. His output consisted of sequences or variations on a single motif; beginning with the 1940s male heads isolated in rooms, the early 1950s screaming popes, and mid-to late 1950s lone figures suspended in geometric structures. From the mid-1960s to early 1970s, Bacon mainly produced strikingly compassionate portraits of friends, either as single or triptych panels. In the 1980s, his art became more personal, inward looking and preoccupied with themes and motifs of death. During his lifetime, Bacon was equally reviled and acclaimed. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher described him as “that man who paints those dreadful pictures”, but his reputation was elevated further after his death and he was the subject of two retrospective exhibitions at London’s Tate Gallery, which celebrated him as one of the world’s most important painters.

  • The Woman Behind a Lost Velázquez Donna Olimpia Maidalchini Pamphilj Rose to the Heights in the Vatican
    Baroque feminist, pope’s lover … the woman behind a lost Velázquez Donna Olimpia Maidalchini Pamphilj rose to the heights in the Vatican. Now a work by Velázquez, unseen since 1724, is set to fetch millions at Sotheby’s Harriet Sherwood Portrait of Olimpia Maidalchini Pamphilj was painted by Spanish master Diego Velázquez during a visit to Rome in 1650. Photograph: Chris J Ratcliffe/Getty Images for Sotheby's For almost 300 years, it was thought lost or destroyed. But now a portrait of one of history’s most formidable women by one of the world’s greatest painters has been rediscovered – and it will go under the hammer next month. The Portrait of Olimpia Maidalchini Pamphilj, painted in the mid-17th century by the Spanish master Diego Velázquez, has undergone painstaking authentication and conservation by Sotheby’s since it was brought to the auction house’s Amsterdam office 18 months ago. With an estimated price of £2m-£3m, it could be bought by either a private collector or a world-class museum. “Velázquez is one of the absolute stand-out titans of European and world painting. This portrait is unquestionably of interest to scholars and admirers of Velázquez alike,” said James Macdonald, Sotheby’s senior specialist in Old Master paintings. It is also a rare depiction of the most influential, avaricious and manipulative woman in 17th-century Rome. Olimpia Maidalchini Pamphilj was the power behind the papal throne, and the reputed lover as well as sister-in-law of Pope Innocent X. Nicknamed Papessa – the lady pope – Donna Olimpia was an ardent feminist, championing Rome’s prostitutes and nuns alike.
