In Baroque sculpture, groups of figures assumed new importance, and there was a dynamic movement and energy of human forms—they spiraled around an empty central vortex or reached outwards into the surrounding space. Baroque sculpture often had multiple ideal viewing angles and reflected a general continuation of the Renaissance’s move away from relief to sculpture created in the round . They were typically designed to be placed in the middle of a large space; for example, elaborate fountains such as Bernini’s Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Rome, 1651) or those in the Gardens of Versailles were a Baroque specialty.]]> 2020-10-22 15:51:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiller166/iq6t1y4hhm0imtxy/wish/853040624 These pyramids were used as temples in ancient egypt. https://padlet.com/nmiller166/iq6t1y4hhm0imtxy/wish/853108639 Hasim.c.m]]> 2020-10-22 16:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiller166/iq6t1y4hhm0imtxy/wish/853108639 Tonal Phase (Eric White) https://padlet.com/nmiller166/iq6t1y4hhm0imtxy/wish/854572659 From the late 1620s, the “tonal phase” of landscape painting began, as artists softened or blurred their outlines and concentrated on an atmospheric effect.

The leading artists of this style were Jan van Goyen (1596–1656), Salomon van Ruysdael (1602–1670), Pieter de Molyn (1595–1661), and, in marine painting, Simon de Vlieger (1601–1653), with a host of minor figures.]]> 2020-10-23 00:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nmiller166/iq6t1y4hhm0imtxy/wish/854572659 Mesopotamia https://padlet.com/nmiller166/iq6t1y4hhm0imtxy/wish/854904130 Mesopotamia is a historical region of Western Asia situated within the Tigris–Euphrates river system, in the northern part of the Fertile Crescent, in modern days roughly corresponding to most of Iraq, Kuwait, the eastern parts of Syria, Southeastern Turkey, and regions along the Turkish–Syrian and Iran–Iraq borders.
