The Raising of the Cross, a painting by the Flemish painter, Peter Paul Rubens, was created between the years of 1610-1611. Peter Rubens painted the picture for the main altar of Antwerp’s church of Saint Walpurgis, which was knocked down in the year of 1817. “The triptych marked Ruben’s sensational introduction of the Baroque style into Northern Art” (Kren). Rubens’ painting style was influenced by Caravaggio and Michelangelo and was known for rich colors, and dynamic works (Sullivan).

People have a habit of constructing boundaries and constantly conceiving new ways to divide themselves from one another. We can observe this not only in the obvious places––such as geographical separations––but also on a more personal level––such as within relationships. Although these boundaries are formed as a self-protection mechanism with the goal of separating oneself from harm, in reality they also separate oneself from potentially positive situations. Bub, the main character in Raymond Carver’s short story “Cathedral,” is a prime example of how self-imposed limits can be detrimental to oneself and their surroundings. “Cathedral” is also an effective demonstration of the potential within everyone to stretch and approach their limits.

Early Modernist American architect Louis Sullivan and Hudson River School painter Thomas Cole, despite a shared affinity for nature, differed in their hopes of how nature and society (or civilization) would interact in the future of America in the 19th Century. While Louis Sullivan sought a new reconciliation of nature and society, Thomas Cole, saddened by the increasing replacement of natural landscape with Man’s built environment, called for Man to develop a greater appreciation for the untouched natural world he found so compelling. Louis Sullivan felt that the collision of nature and Man brought a new opportunity to create a form of architecture greater than the sum of these two parts. He writes of this new architecture being “the completeness

The Cathedral by Raymond Carver is the story of a man, the narrator, who meet a blind person named Robert for the first time. He does not want to meet Robert, but because Robert is an old friend of his wife and an important person to her, he has no choice. During Robert’s visit, the husband is so uncomfortable and feeling jealous about his wife friendship with Robert. We can feel his jealousy, while the Robert and the narrator’s wife having conversations in the beginning of the story, “And then my dear husband came into my life”—“something like that. But I heard nothing of the sort.

In this analysis I will discuss how the Victorian Gothic style of St. Pancras Station was developed as a result of innovative engineering. St. Pancras Station revolutionized structure, material, and texture as these features were described by some “tasteless travesty”. As it was appreciated for its Victorian Gothic style it was admired for its material choice of iron and glass. William Henry Barlow designed St. Pancras to compete with other stations such as St. Paul’s and Marylebone in the late 1870’s. His construction and styling of individualized the building.

The Sistine Chapel in Rome, Italy was first completed in 1481. Throughout the years, there have been multiple restorations of the ceiling to remove debris and clean the artwork. These restorations created much controversy on whether the cleaning was ethical and kept the artists initial intent. The restorations have kept the ceiling in tact and from fading in color and forms completely, however, it also changed the original beauty of Michelangelo’s work. There is not a single way to examine the legitimacy of these restorations, nor is there one correct opinion because every argument intertwines and influences the other.

Like that of The Royal Crescent in Bath which is a clear neo-classical reference. (Yaari, 2008) It is the shape of an amphitheatre, adjoined by a colonnade and includes elements such as pediments, plinths, capitols, friezes and balustrades. (Bofill,

Paris the city of love as most people know it also where you can find many stores and famous museums but do most people know what lies 20 meters below Paris a place where there are remains of almost 6 to 7 million people. You can say it's a labyrinth because it's like a dark maze of galleries and some narrow passage ways where visitors can see the table of death where bones are arranged in a display dating back to high roman taste. This underground burial place is called The Catacombs. In eighteenth and mid nineteenth centuries graveyards where being closed down because of Public Health Issues and the remains of the people were taken to The Catacombs.

However, she leaves out why such an accusation is absurd, because she lacks evidence to support her claim, she leaves the reader wondering why the fortress of Gisors is not a “Temple Fortress”. Pernoud also argues that there is too much generalization on the architecture of Templar churches. Legend has it that the Templars designed and built round churches, and it was a trademark or theirs. Pernoud claims that some of their churches were round, but very few, and that most were not.

In his contemporary short story, “Cathedral,” Raymond Carver tells the story of an unnamed narrator, his wife, and an old friend, a blind man named Robert. Robert has come to visit the narrator’s wife, who is quite excited to see this man whom she hasn’t seen in ten years, yet the same can’t be said of the narrator who is noticeably and vocally uncomfortable about his visit. The story is told through the narrator’s first person point of view, showcasing his thoughts and the events that take place when Robert comes to visit. Carver highlights the theme of having the ability to see, but not truly seeing, through his use of colloquial language, and creation of relatable characters. “Cathedral” begins with the narrator informing the audience

Although London is ranked the second largest city in the European Union area, it is not particularly distinguished by a predominant architectural style or any striking monuments or dramatic public buildings that so many of its neighboring cities such as Paris or Rome boast. In 1766, John Gwynn described London as being “inconvenient, inelegant, and without the least pretension to magnificence or grandeur …” (Gwynn, 45). Although the architecture since the time of John Gwynn may not satisfy his desire for magnificence or grandeur, many parts of London have grown to exhibit strong, distinguished urban qualities. This is mainly due to the development of the ‘Great Estates’ and the influences of their landowners.
