Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright
and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in
the English language and the world's pre-eminent
dramatist. He is often called England's national poet
and the "Bard of Avon".
Sonnet 116
Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 was first
published in 1609. Its structure and
form are a typical example of the
Shakespearean sonnet.
"The movement of 116, like its tone, is careful, controlled, laborious…it defines
and redefines its subject in each quatrain, and this subject becomes
increasingly vulnerable".It starts out as motionless and distant, remote,
independent—then moves to be "less remote, more tangible and earthbound"
and the final couplet brings a sense of "coming back down to earth". Ideal love
is deteriorating throughout the sonnet and continues to do so through the
couplet.
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (15 April 1452 – 2
May 1519), more commonly Leonardo da Vinci or
simply Leonardo, was an Italian Renaissance
polymath whose areas of interest included invention,
painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music,
mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy,
geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history, and
cartography. He has been variously called the father
of palaeontology, ichnology, and architecture, and is
widely considered one of the greatest painters of all
time. Sometimes credited with the inventions of the
parachute, helicopter and tank,[1][2][3] he epitomised
the Renaissance humanist ideal.
Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa is a half-length portrait painting by
the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci that
has been described as "the best known, the most
visited, the most written about, the most sung about,
the most parodied work of art in the world". The Mona
Lisa is also one of the most valuable paintings in the
world. It holds the Guinness World Record for the
highest known insurance valuation in history at $100
million in 1962, which is worth nearly $800 million in
2017.
