Painting was considered an adept imitator of sophisticated Netherlands work. The “Christ Crowned with Thorns” painting is on displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New york, NY. The artist of this magnificent piece was Antonello da Messina (Antonello di Giovanni d'Antonio). Antonello used oil, which was made by grinding pigments with a drying oil. Antonello used the oil-based paint over Tempera. Tempera is a water-thinned paint that becomes water resistant as it dries. . “Egg tempera is an aqueous emulsion paint with an egg yolk or whole egg binder that originated in medieval Europe. These paints dry to a semi-matte appearance by the evaporation of water and the coagulation of the egg protein. After about 1400 CE, variations of tempera were made with egg/oil, gum/oil, glue/oil and other emulsions as artists began to experiment with drying oils. As linseed oil paints became popular at the end of the 16th century, tempera died out. The measurement of this painting is 16 3/4 x 12 inches. This is part of the Friedsam Collection. …show more content…

“The Christ Crowned With Thorns" is very different from the way Antonello, painted his other paintings. According the New York Times, “this painting differs greatly from the milder, prettier portraits of the thorn-crowned Jesus seen in many Renaissance paintings (including an earlier Antonello shown here from the 1450's or early 1460's, a small, double-sided painting whose front panel shows a calm, meditative Jesus with a noose around his neck and whose reverse portrays a Madonna and Child with a donor).”

    After reading about Rosario Castellanos we can recognize she was and continues to be one of the most influential writers of her time. Unquestionably, her voice as a poet, essayist, novelist and in general as a woman, served to express her disagreement with the condition of women at a universal and individual level. In several ways, she was able to carefully highlight one of the main issues in every society and that’s gender inequality. Not only that, but her peculiarity when it came to writing was another thing that distinguished her from all the others, and this is based on her constant use of irony and humor in most of her literary work. However, her approach to using humor and irony never detracted from her main purpose as a female writer, which revolved around the criticism of the political and patriarchal oppression.

Of the 23,812 hectares of forest cleared in Caqueta, 20% of the total deforested in Colombia, 10,822, were lost mainly due to the expansion of the agricultural frontier. He arrived at Remolinos del Caguan in the early eighties and recalls that the guerrillas who at the time ruled the forests that connect the eastern cordillera with the Amazonian savannas told everyone that coca crops were drastically decreasing, so they had to clear more land. Although deforestation in Caqueta has been a long-term problem, just late last year the Colombian government decided to prioritize deforestation control plans. Rafael Orjuela estimates 20,000 hectares of forest were cleared only in Cartagena del Chaira after FARC 's departure.

    All the three works of group three extend the novelties of group two. “Ecco mormorar” and “S’andasse Amor” adventure the florid writing in them, while “Memtr’io mirava” shares its move to distant harmonic areas. However, there are two traits that are very difficult to define that unite these madrigals; one is an ability to bring to music the syntactic and meaning organization of text and a structural coherence of a rigor which is unknown to Monteverdi’s earlier works. All the listed characteristics and especially the last one, are exemplified in the “Ecco mormorar l’onde” which happens to be Monteverdi’s most famous madrigal of the second madrigal books.
