Spanish Renaissance
The Spanish Renaissance was a movement in Spain, emerging from the Italian Renaissance in Italy during the 14th century, that spread to Spain during the 15th and 16th centuries. This new focus in art, literature, quotes and science inspired by the Greco-Roman tradition of Classical antiquity, received a major impulse from several events in 1492: * Unification of the longed-for Christian kingdom with the definitive taking of Granada, the last Islamic controlled territory in the Iberian Peninsula, and the successive expulsions of thousands of Muslim and Jewish believers, *The official discovery of the western hemisphere, the Americas, *The publication of the first grammar of a vernacular European language in print, the '' Gramática'' (''Grammar'') by Antonio de Nebrija. Historical background The beginning of the Renaissance in Spain is closely linked to the historical-political life of the monarchy of the Catholic Monarchs. Its figures are the first to leave the medieval ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Brussels
Brussels (french: Bruxelles or ; nl, Brussel ), officially the Brussels-Capital Region (All text and all but one graphic show the English name as Brussels-Capital Region.) (french: link=no, Région de Bruxelles-Capitale; nl, link=no, Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest), is a region of Belgium comprising 19 municipalities, including the City of Brussels, which is the capital of Belgium. The Brussels-Capital Region is located in the central portion of the country and is a part of both the French Community of Belgium and the Flemish Community, but is separate from the Flemish Region (within which it forms an enclave) and the Walloon Region. Brussels is the most densely populated region in Belgium, and although it has the highest GDP per capita, it has the lowest available income per household. The Brussels Region covers , a relatively small area compared to the two other regions, and has a population of over 1.2 million. The five times larger metropolitan area of Brusse ...

Pablo Esquert
Pablo Esquert (active 1559 - 1575) was a Flemish painter summoned to Zaragoza in Spain by Martín de Gurrea y Aragón Martín de Gurrea y Aragóna (17 May 1525 - 25 April 1581) was a Spanish nobleman from a royal line descended from John II of Aragon's son Alfonso. He was born and died in Pedrola. He was also notable as a collector and patron of the arts, commiss ..., Duke of Villahermosa. He was also known as Pablo Schepers, Scheppers, Eschepers, Paul Esquarte, Pablo de Ezchepers, Paulo de Ezchepers and Micer Pablo. Working in both Italy and Spain, Esquert gained wealth and renown with his skills, especially in creating copies of famous works. He was well known for creating copies of paintings by Titian, specifically painted in a Flemish style known as "delgada y muy gentil". Esquert's father was a painter, Pauwels Scepers, who resided in Mechelen. Esquert eventually married Catalina van Steynemolen, the daughter of painter Jan van Steynemolen.

Martín De Gurrea Y Aragón
Martín de Gurrea y Aragóna (17 May 1525 - 25 April 1581) was a Spanish nobleman from a royal line descended from John II of Aragon's son Alfonso. He was born and died in Pedrola. He was also notable as a collector and patron of the arts, commissioning artists such as Pablo Esquert. He inherited the title of Count of Ribagorza on his father's death in 1550. He also became 4th Duke of Villahermosa in 1558 when the 3rd Duke (Fernando Sanseverino de Aragón, prince of Salerno) forfeited the title for supporting the King of France in Italy against the King of Spain. Family The Dukedom of Villahermosa was created by John II of Aragon to recognise the military achievements of his illegitimate son by Leonor de Escobar, Alonso.: He was also made Count of Ribagorza. Alonso had an illegitimate son called John (1457-1528), who was recognised by John II as his grandson to reward his mother María Junquers, who had governed and defended Ribagorza in the count's absence.

Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a solid, liquid, or gas. An FTIR spectrometer simultaneously collects high-resolution spectral data over a wide spectral range. This confers a significant advantage over a dispersive spectrometer, which measures intensity over a narrow range of wavelengths at a time. The term ''Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy'' originates from the fact that a Fourier transform (a mathematical process) is required to convert the raw data into the actual spectrum. Conceptual introduction The goal of absorption spectroscopy techniques (FTIR, ultraviolet-visible ("UV-vis") spectroscopy, etc.) is to measure how much light a sample absorbs at each wavelength. The most straightforward way to do this, the "dispersive spectroscopy" technique, is to shine a monochromatic light beam at a sample, measure how much of the light is absorbed, and repeat for each different ...

Raman Spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy () (named after Indian physicist C. V. Raman) is a spectroscopic technique typically used to determine vibrational modes of molecules, although rotational and other low-frequency modes of systems may also be observed. Raman spectroscopy is commonly used in chemistry to provide a structural fingerprint by which molecules can be identified. Raman spectroscopy relies upon inelastic scattering of photons, known as Raman scattering. A source of monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible, near infrared, or near ultraviolet range is used, although X-rays can also be used. The laser light interacts with molecular vibrations, phonons or other excitations in the system, resulting in the energy of the laser photons being shifted up or down. The shift in energy gives information about the vibrational modes in the system. Infrared spectroscopy typically yields similar yet complementary information. Typically, a sample is illuminated with a laser beam. Electr ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Ink Wash Painting
Ink wash painting ( zh, t=水墨畫, s=水墨画, p=shuǐmòhuà; ja, 水墨画, translit=suiboku-ga or ja, 墨絵, translit=sumi-e; ko, 수묵화, translit=sumukhwa) is a type of Chinese ink brush painting which uses black ink, such as that used in Asian calligraphy, in different concentrations. It emerged during the Tang dynasty of China (618–907); it overturned earlier, more realistic techniques. It is typically monochrome, using only shades of black, with a great emphasis on virtuoso brushwork and conveying the perceived "spirit" or "essence" of a subject over direct imitation. Ink wash painting flourished from the Song dynasty in China (960–1279) onwards, as well as in Japan after it was introduced by Zen Buddhist monks in the 14th century. Some Western scholars divide Chinese painting (including ink wash painting) into three periods: times of representation, times of expression, and historical Oriental art. Chinese scholars have their own views which may be diffe ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
